Exit and re-enter after applying for a permesso di soggiorno while waiting with the receipt? [closed] - Woman Standing Near Open Door About to Step Outside

I'm in Italy on a study visa and I have a receipt for the permesso, I would like to leave for Africa for a short time before the permesso is issued. Will I be able to re-enter? (I got a multiple-entry visa), but I won't have the permesso in time to leave with it. From some anecdotal reading over here seems it's possible, but I'd like a more authoritative answer, and I can't find one.
I only possess the receipts of the application.



Best Answer

Ok, this is the authoritative answer i was looking for:

Foreigners awaiting renewal of their residence permits can leave 
and re-enter Italy if they hold:
1. the receipt issued by Italian Post offices (Poste Italiane S.p.A) certifying the submission of the application for renewal of their residence  permit or EC residence permit for long-term residents;
2. the expired residence permit;
3. their passport or other equivalent travel document .

This applies to those waiting for the document for the first time:

The same facilitated procedure is granted to foreigners who have submitted their 
application for their first residence permits for employment, 
self-employment, or family reunification, provided that:
1. they leave and re-enter Italy through any Italian external border crossing point (cicular letter 11th March 2009);
2. they show their passport or other equivalent travel document, along with the entry visa specifying the reasons of their stay (employment, self-employment, or family reunification ) and the receipt issued by Italian Post offices (Poste Italiane S.p.A.);
3. they do not transit through other Schengen countries, as this is not allowed.
