UK citizens residing in Italy before 31.12.2020 are beneficiaries of the Withdrawal Agreement. Due to this, they have the right to keep residing in Italy by holding a dedicated residence card.
The electronic carta di soggiorno is valid for 5 years or 10 years (as "permanent residence card") if the right of permanent residence is met.
The permanent residence card will be issued only upon the proof of a legal and uninterrupted residence in Italy for 5 years, including periods of stay before or after 31st December 2020.
