A plea for help! I have to change current Italian permesso di soggiorno and I want to apply for a permesso di soggiorno per lavoro autonomo. I am a Canadian citizen who has been working as a freelance translator here in Italy for a while and I have only had a partita iva for a few months. Has anyone ever requested this type of permit as a freelance translator? If so, what documents did you need to present? What kind of income do you have to show?

As usually, it all seem impossibly complex and my head feels like its going to implode.
Thanks for any advice.

Rachel,
You must have contacts with the Embassy for other reasons and they should have a section for people like yourself.

I suggest contacting the Canadian Consulate. They will be able able to give you legal advice regarding Italian immigration laws (if they are anything like the US consulate!). The Embassy is more apt in resolving diplomatic issues.
And whatever you do- make out all your paperwork in triplicate! Paper is what Italy runs on, as you probably know. JLB

That was what I meant by a "section" for people seeking advice like Rachel is.

Hi Rachel, I remember that I read something about a special permit for freelance translators in Italy.
Check this out and good luck (although I would never suggest to anybody to relocate to Italy, but this is not relevant here

Hi Rachel,
I am in the process of doing the same thing. You need to go to your local questura and they will give you a list of what you need. To renew (if your address is still the same): stato di famiglia (if you have children), certificato di residenza, copy of your passport, your old permesso di soggiorno, a "bilancino" from your accountant stamped and signed, a bollo for 10 euro, and three photos which you can get in one of those machines.

The amount of money you need to make varies on the number of dependents you have: I have two children and I needed to make the equivalent of 20 million lire the last time I renewed (two years ago), I think it was 16 million for an individual.
I changed my status from freelance worker for an American company to teacher to translator without any hassle...they now have me listed as a "lettore" which I am not but it does not really matter. They may also ask to see a copy of your last income tax returns, libretto sanitario and rent contract or proof that you own a house.
I had trouble once in the past with the questura (I did not renew in time) and it was a major headache. I went to the US consulate in Florence but they cannot do anything as it is an entirely Italian matter.
If you have any well-connected friends, like judges or local politicians they can help. A lot also depends on the specific questura and how many foreign residents there are. Some are very strict, others more laissez faire.
Good luck and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

TOPIC STARTER | Thanks for everyone's input | Mar 7, 2005 |
I just wanted to let everyone know what I found out. First of all, a permesso di soggiorno per lavoro autonomo can be obtained by translators but it requires a lot of paper work (registration with the chamber of commerces, documents showing sufficient income, etc). Since I have just opened a partita iva and found it difficult to demonstrate sufficient income, I opted to negociate a co-co-co contract with one of my clients, which should hopefully get me the same type of permesso.

What a pain in the but! All of the time spent on paper work could be time spent working or doing something productive. It only seems to get harder in the country.
Good luck to anyone going through the same process and thank you for all of you useful replies.
Cheers,

Hi Rachel,
One other thing after reading your post. I am not registered with the Chamber of Commerce as my accountant said it was not necessary. I think it has to do with the code they use for you. If you do decide to go with freelancing later you might want to consider this.
Best of luck
Vicky
