Can I travel to Italy with a permesso based on old passport?

Can I travel to Italy with a permesso based on old passport? - View of grand canal and old cathedral of Santa Maria della Salute in Venice in Italy on early calm morning

I have permesso di soggiorno based on the visa in my old passport. Now I left Italy and changed my passport and my permesso is still valid. Now I wonder whether when I get back to Italy with new passport (without visa) and permesso based on the old passport will I have any problems. I went also to the Italian embassy they told me since I have active permesso they can't give me new visa. Could someone please answer?

Can I enter Italy with expired Permesso?

PAY ATTENTION: If you leave Italy during the summer and come back after the PdS has expired, you have to submit a request for a renewal BEFORE you leave Italy. If you come back after your PDS has expired, the police at the border will not let you in the country.

Can I travel to EU countries with permesso di soggiorno?

Unless you have a Schengen Visa still valid (which is almost never the case for a work Visa), you cannot travel legally to any other country until the Permesso di Soggiorno has been granted.

Can I travel to Italy with Italian residence permit?

If you are a non-EU national, you need to apply for an Italy long-stay visa in your home country which allows you entry to Italy. You need the long-stay visa because the Italian residence permit can only be applied for when you are already in Italy.

Can I go outside of Italy with receipts of Permesso Soggiorno?

Once you are granted the standard Permesso, you can travel freely in and out of Italy and the Schengen area provided you always bring along the original Permesso together with your passport. If a standard Permesso is not granted, you can stay in Italy with the receipt and leave the country, but cannot re-enter Italy.
