Understand this route
Registration is a single electronic ComUnica filing that simultaneously opens the VAT number at the Revenue Agency, the INPS and INAIL positions and transmits the SCIA to the one-stop shop. A professional without a business does not register with the Chamber of Commerce: only the VAT number and the separate INPS scheme. The trap: the temporary-protection permit is not in the list at art. 1(2) of Presidential Decree 394/1999 that is exempt from the reciprocity check. The DPCM grants self-employment expressly, but if the chamber insists on reciprocity the cleanest fix is to convert the permit to a work permit first.
What to check
- Which you are: a business (Chamber of Commerce registration) or a freelance professional (VAT number only).
- Whether the chamber raises the reciprocity check.
- If it does: consider converting your permit to a work permit.
- The ATECO code for your activity.
Caveat
Two different dates. At EU level temporary protection runs to 4 March 2028 (Council Decision (EU) 2026/1912). Italian instruments, as at 26 September 2026, are still tied to 4 March 2027, and we found no Italian implementing act for 2028. Check your questura and the Ministry of the Interior before acting.
