Visa and resident permits for Italy

Our Visas Services

The following visa and residence permit options are aimed at allowing non-EU nationals to enter in Italy according to their travel purposes, activities to be carried out and period of stay. Visas are divided in short term visas, which are valid up to 90 days, and long term visas, which allow people to stay for a longer period of time. Another classification is made by in-quota and extra-quota visas, which depends on the application of Flow Decree. If the Flow Decree is applied, there is a yearly limit of non-EU citizens who may enter Italy for employment, self-employment and seasonal work. Moreover, we offer a special service for students that live in Italy with a student visa but have the need to convert it into a working one.

Start to finish guidance from the Lexia team

Pietro, Claudia, and Marylanda helped me from start to finish in obtaining my permesso di soggiorno. Starting from the consultation and confirming that I was in fact eligible to receive one (my situation was a little unique) all the way to the end, they were very thorough and ensured I had the right documents gathered for each step of the way. The only slight issue was when the associate originally on my case either moved or left the firm, there was no affirmative notice of that, but Pietro took over from there and did a perfect job. I really appreciated how prompt they were in responding to all of my questions. I would recommend for any Italian immigration needs.

Fantastic Experience

Throughout the process Pietro Derossi and his associates that I dealt with were extremely responsive despite the time difference. We were guided through the process of obtaining Italian citizenship for eight family members through my grandmother. This involved many unusual situations due to meeting certain dates. Pietro provided me the necessary form letters and agencies to contact in the US to obtain the documents to produce to the Tribunal. I would highly recommend him and his firm for any work of this kind.
