Hi there, yes you can enter Italy with the docs that you mentioned you have. But you can enter with the receipt only if you transit from a non-european country. You will not be allowed to transit from an European schengen nation. I hope you have your answer.

Thank you
You are Right

I by mistake booked聽 ticket in BrusselAir
Which I understand will not be allowed as stop over is in Brussels.
Most of the flights from Mumbai is through some shengen country
I need to聽 cancel and book in AliItalia so that it's a direct flight from Delhi to Florence via Rome.
I hope that would work .
My current聽 permesso would expire by Sept 30.
I hope that will not be an issue as my travel date will be before Sept 25 as per ticket availability

Hey, were you able to find a solution? I will also be facing a similar situation聽 as I will be travelling to India while my new permesso is still under process in December. Was the postal receipt not enough?

The postal receipt is not enough. This subject has been covered many times on the forum, please look at other posts.

inspite of many telling these documents聽 wld do to re enter italy,that is : expired permesso ,college letter and receipt ,also I had by then received message infirming permesso ready for delivery so that screenshot too I had taken a print out...nothing worked...
I lost my ticket, money twice as I cancelled Brussel airlines in which it was booked first as it passes tbrough other schengen countries which was a mistake..but second booking was done after discussing with competent ppl.
I booked in Alitalia direct to Rome still I couldnt clear immigration
They needed re entry Visa
very unfortunate .It may affect my final year.
Now聽 In Mumbai VFS i took an appointment for Re entry through their website
That also is now not allowed.After a long wait Iam informed I have to send documents to consul and for re entry the appointment only through consulate聽 So just now mailed snd waiting for their response
Huge loss of money ,two international tickets then frustration
so please do not travel to India if you do not have solid documents聽 as reentry would be sn issue

That is quite sad to hear. You were denied exit at Delhi Airport? I will write to the consulate earlier as it is necessary for me to go home. I am also a student studying in Turin. Can you please let me know who you have contacted in the consulate?
