Quirks of this questura
Few mentions of timelines. Quirks reported: lavoro autonomo is common, the practica number is not written on the ricevuta, and re-entry plus KIT timing worked without issues (entry on day 145, KIT on day 148).
Community voices
At our Pescara questura they do not write the practica number on the ricevuta. I entered 145 days after the visa was issued and mailed the KIT on day 148 - no problems.

What the chats say about the Pescara questura
With a residence permit I can count on a bank account, registration, and a local ID, but banks are not obliged to provide that. Usually about a year passes before the residence permit: an appointment for fingerprints after 6 months, then they still wait for the check, the stamp, and delivery of the card.
Where people most often go wrong
- In some questure the identification is postponed to the second visit, and the application process is different from other cities. (2 messages)
