A residence permit for employed work (the study, traineeship or training permit can be converted, if the legal requirements are met, into a permit for employed or self-employed work).

ll permesso di soggiorno rilasciato per motivi di studio, tirocinio o formazione rientra tra i permessi che abilitano al lavoro (pur nel rispetto di un tetto massimo di ore in caso di lavoro subordinato) e può essere convertito, in presenza dei requisiti previsti dalla legge, in un permesso per motivi di lavoro subordinato o autonomo.

What qualifying residence period is required and when does the period begin?

No residence duration is set in the source; timing rules instead: the permit to be converted generally must still be valid; holders of university permits (degree, master's, doctorate) or those who came of age in Italy may apply even before finishing studies; for training courses or traineeships conversion is possible only after completing them (Article 14(6) of D.P.R. No. 394 of 1999).

Limits of the record

The source states no minimum period of residence; the Council of State has read the validity condition flexibly.

In generale la conversione è possibile solo se il permesso di soggiorno che si chiede di convertire risulti in corso di validità e quindi non sia scaduto.

La richiesta di conversione può essere fatta anche prima della conclusione del ciclo di studi , nel caso di permessi rilasciati per frequentare l’universitaria (corsi di laurea, master o dottorato di ricerca) o nel caso di stranieri già presenti in Italia al compimento della maggiore età. Nel caso, invece, di permessi per studio rilasciati per frequentare corsi di formazione o svolgere tirocini formativi in Italia, la conversione è possibile soltanto dopo la conclusione del corso di formazione o del tirocinio. (articolo 14, comma 6, del D.P.R. n. 394 del 1999).
