Students already holding a Study residence permit are not subject to “Decreto Flussi” quotas (a maximum number of work permits that can be issued annually for each business sector, stated annually by law decree) . Therefore, if you hold a Student residence permit and a job or job proposal, or open a self-employed business, you can apply at any time regardless of the quota limitation.

The looking-for-job permit of stay (permesso di soggiorno per attesa occupazione) is a type of residence permit that allows non-EU citizens who have obtained a degree in Italy (Bachelor’s, Master’s, Specialised Master’s or PhD) to remain in the country after graduating while searching for employment opportunities.

It is important to note that the university program must be officially recognised by the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MIUR). We recommend that you verify with your university whether your degree program meets the eligibility requirements for this type of residence permit.

This type of permit CANNOT be renewed, and it is issued for 12 months. After this time-frame, the foreigner should apply for a job permit demonstrating their work activity in Italy.

You can apply for this permit by submitting the Yellow Kit (Kit Giallo) at the post office closest to you. The request should be made while the study permit of stay is still valid.
