Immigration law in Bologna

How I work

Applications go through the Questura di Bologna and the Prefettura di Bologna – Sportello Unico per l’Immigrazione. When a decision is negative, the deadlines to challenge it are short.

I check the requirements before every step and, if needed, challenge refusals before the competent court. I can work with you in English, Italian or Albanian.

Bologna is just over half an hour from Florence by high-speed train, and is home to the Court of Appeal for Emilia-Romagna and one of Europe’s oldest universities.

How it works

Checking the requirements

Renewals, conversions and citizenship: a path followed over the years.

Questions

Where do I challenge a permit refusal in Bologna?

Usually before the TAR Emilia-Romagna (Bologna), within 60 days of notification. For permits on family grounds, the ordinary court has jurisdiction instead. Check the deadline immediately on the decision you received.

Can you handle my case from Pistoia if I live in Bologna?

Yes. Most of the work is done on paper and online; I arrange to attend any hearings and appointments that require it.

Which languages can we use?

English, Italian or Albanian.
