Understand this route
The application is filed with the questura where you are staying. The receipt alone already opens the right to work and to register with the health service, so do not wait for the plastic card. Renewal is on you: nothing renews automatically.
What to check
- Keep the receipt: it already lets you work and register with the health service before the card arrives.
- Your permit's expiry and the date by which you must apply to renew: nothing renews automatically.
- Whether the address on your permit matches where you live. If not, ask the questura how to report the change.
- Whether a tax code was assigned together with the receipt.
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.
