Hi,
I have spent 5 years in Italy and completed my PhD from Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa. Currently I have an 'Attessa Occupazione' premesso di soggiorno which is valid for one year. I found out that if I find a job with enough salary now, I can apply for Carta di Soggiorno.
I want to ask if I start working now in some other country for few years and then return with a job later in Italy, say in 2025, will I still be able to apply for Carta di Soggiorno? The criterion that it requires 5 years of stay in Italy, does it have to be immediately before the Carta di Soggiorno application?
Your suggestions will be very important for me.
Thanks,
Abhishek
