ImmigraFacile also refreshed its step-by-step guide to the ‘Permesso di Soggiorno per Motivi Familiari’ on 25 June, incorporating the new €6,542 annual income baseline (equal to this year’s assegno sociale) and clarifying that the post-arrival Kit 209 can now be signed digitally. The guide spells out eligibility—for spouses, minor children, dependent adult children and parents—and lists each supporting document, ranging from Apostilled marriage certificates to the €30.46 payment receipt for the electronic card.

For applicants who want extra hands-on help with those Apostilles, translations or courier runs, VisaHQ’s Italy desk (https://www.visahq.com/italy/) can streamline the paperwork: its platform arranges document legalisation, provides real-time status tracking and gives corporate mobility teams a single dashboard to monitor every family member’s permit.
It warns that un-legalised foreign documents remain the top reason for rejection and that time-lines can stretch to 12 months if municipal housing certificates are missing. What’s new for 2026? Applicants can now combine multiple family members’ incomes to reach the threshold, and Questure have begun accepting electronic tax records instead of paper originals. The article also highlights that holders of family permits may convert to work permits without signing a new ‘contratto di soggiorno’ if the family relationship ends. For global-mobility teams relocating staff to Italy for multi-year assignments, the guide is a useful checklist to support accompanying relatives, ensuring they can work legally and enrol in the Italian health system. Given that failure to complete the process can invalidate dependent visas, corporates are urged to monitor renewals closely. Although not an official source, ImmigraFacile’s legal team includes registered immigration lawyers and the portal’s templates are widely used by relocation providers.
