(Art. 9, 30 and 31 of Legislative Decree no. 286/98 and subsequent amendments; Art. 16 and 17of Presidential Decree 394/99 and subsequent amendments)

a) Application filled in and signed by the interested party (Module 1);

c) To request a residency permit, Module 1 must be filled in at the One-Stop Immigration Office which has issued the authorisation to entry for family reunification.

d) To apply for an self-employed residency permit for family reasons, the underage child above fourteen years of age already registered on the residency permit of either one of his/her two parents - and cohabiting with them - must enter the number of the residency permit of his/her parent in form 1

NOTES:

– On their fourteenth birthday, the underage child, registered on the residency permit or card belonging to one of his/her parents, is issued a residency permit for family reasons, or a residency card, up until their coming of age.

The same regulations are applied to underage children registered on the residency permit/card of their alien guardian.

– The residency permit for family reasons allows aliens to access social services, register for study or professional training courses, and carry out subordinate or self-employed work, provided they fulfil minimum age requirements to work.

– The residency permit for family reasons is valid for the same length of time as the residency permit for the alien family member who received authorisation for family reunification and is renewable together with the residency permit belonging to this individual.

– At their coming of age, the alien with the residency permit for family reasons is issued a residency permit for study reasons, access to work, or work depending on the situation.
