What types of protection can you obtain? If you are over 18 years of age you can ask: • International protection (political asylum); • Subsidiary protection; • Or you can get a residence permit for humanitarian or work reasons. Se hai meno di 18 anni hai diritto a 2 tipi di permesso di soggiorno: • Il permesso per minore età (è diritto del minore essere accolto in Italia) • La protezione internazionale (asilo politico) e le altre forme previste per i maggiorenni • REMEMBER! If you are under 18 you can ask a residence permit for minor age: minors have the right to be accepted in Italy. Who can apply for INTERNATIONAL PROTECTION? Refugee status is granted to a foreigner who has the established fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, belonging to a particular social group or political opinion. The applicant remains so until the territorial commissions decide on the application for protection. Once international protection has been obtained, a renewable five-year residence permit is issued without further verification of the conditions. 8
