traveling and returning back to italy

I am Albanian and I have applied for the first residence permit in Italy . I want to go to Albania but can I return back to Italy again with the residence permit receipt?

Best Answer

Yes, the receipt you receive from the post bank would suffice! As written in the website of the State Police, here:

Gli stranieri in attesa del rinnovo del permesso di soggiorno possono uscire dall'Italia e rientrarci presentando solo la ricevuta delle Poste italiane che attesta l'avvenuta presentazione della domanda di rinnovo del loro permesso di soggiorno o della carta di soggiorno.

English Translation:

Foreigners awaiting the renewal of the residence permit can leave Italy and return by submitting only the receipt of the Italian Post Office which proves the submission of the application for renewal of their residence permit or residence card.
