What happens after the request: registration, family handling, major support and rights where officially stated?

The permit allows enrolment in the National Health Service and access to work, study and assistance and reception measures; people from Ukraine may work (employed or self-employed) upon the mere request of the permit to the Questura, outside the annual quotas. Access to SAI and CAS reception facilities is allowed even without applying for international protection; applicants who found their own accommodation (including with relatives, friends or host families) can request a subsistence contribution for themselves and their children via an online Civil Protection platform.
