If you received an affidamento permesso as a minor, it’s important to convert it after turning 18 to avoid legal issues in Italy.
Many minors in Italy receive an affidamento permesso under social services or guardianship. However, this permit is temporary and linked to minor status.
Once you turn 18, you must apply for conversion to another type of permesso to continue staying legally in Italy.
The most common conversion options include:
Work permit (lavoro subordinato) if you have a job contract
Study permit if you are enrolled in school or university
Attesa occupazione if you are looking for a job
One of the most important documents in this process is the Parere favorevole, usually issued by social services. This document confirms your integration, behavior, and readiness to live independently in Italy.
Required documents may include:
Valid passport
Current affidamento permesso
Job contract or school certificate
Residence (residenza)
Social service report (Parere)
Failing to convert your permit on time may lead to legal risks or rejection. It is strongly recommended to prepare in advance and seek guidance if needed.
