finally

finally! our residence cards were released.
hurray! i have been waiting for these since last october, 2009.


Residence cards are for foreigners only. While Carta D'identita are for all! Be a stranger or an italian. It's more important here than a passport.

Residence cards: (Carta di Soggiorno)
*Illimitata - Unlimited (NO expiration date) for the workers (regardless of what kind of work), as long as they have the annual income of more than 7,000 euro

*5 Anni Periodo - 5 years validity (can be renewed). those who have at least 7,000 euro annual income

*2 Anni Periodo - 2 years validity (can be renewed), those below 7,000 euro annual income.

----> this is where i belong, for i have 4,200eu annual income for now as part timer. (3.5 hrs a day)

* 6 mesi Periodo - 6 month validity only for unemployed or seasonal jobs
the 6 month validity cannot be renewed for the unemployed. if you got a job already, they'll give you 2 yrs validity. seasonal jobs are allowed for another 6 month renewal. after that, you have to get a non-seasonal job.
