Bossi-Fini Law
Law no. 189 of 30 July 2002 (Bossi-Fini Law, no. 199 of 26 August 2002) amends the provisions on immigration set out in Decree Law no. 286 of 25 July 1998 (Turco-Napolitano Law) and the implementary Presidential Decree no. 394 of 31 August 1999. It introduces a number of significant new provisions with regard to entry into Italy by citizens from non-EU countries participating in the University of Trento's international programmes
Resident permit
The period of residence required for a non-EU citizen to qualify for a residence permit is increased from five to six years.
Fingerprints
Some of the legislative changes are as follows:
FINGERPRINTS. All immigrants applying for a stay permit (permesso di soggiorno) to cover a period in Italy of more than 90 days have their fingerprints taken upon their first entry into Italy.
Stay permit for paid employment
Required to obtain this permit is a work entry visa for the duration of the employment contract, which may not exceed two years (even if it is an open-ended contract of employment).
Accomodation
The employer must furnish guarantees that accommodation is available and that such accommodation fulfils the "minimum parameters" established for public housing provision.
Renewal of the stay permit
Law 189/2002 stipulates the following terms for the renewal of stay permits:
ninety days for open-ended work permits,
sixty days for fixed-term work permits,
and thirty days for all other cases.
