Who can apply for
SUBSIDIARY PROTECTION?
Foreign citizens do not qualify as refuges, but have reasonable
grounds to believe that if they returned to their country of
origin, they would have an actual risk of serious life threat. After
obtaining subsidiary protection, a renewable three-year residence
permit shall be issued upon verification of the continued
existence of the conditions that have allowed the granting of
subsidiary protection.
Who can apply for
HUMANITARIAN PROTECTION?
Humanitarian protection can be guaranteed to a foreign
citizen who is denied international protection, but have serious
humanitarian reasons that impede the return to the country of
origin (Article 5, paragraph 6 of Legislative Decree no. 286/1998).
After obtaining the protection, a renewable residence permit
(6 months to 2 years) will be issued upon verification of the
permanence of the conditions that have allowed the recognition
of humanitarian reasons.
