Direct answer: Report termination and check whether the permit allows continued stay or a job-search route. Do not hide the loss or assume renewal.
Who this applies to: Anyone with an employed-work permit whose job ends before decision.
Practical steps: 1) obtain the termination notice; 2) register with the employment centre and keep the DID; 3) notify the Questura in the case file; 4) check the job-search permit route; 5) add a new contract if found.
Documents to keep: Termination proof, receipt, previous permit, DID/employment-centre registration and new contract if any.
Verifiable timing and costs: Duration and job-search route depend on law and permit; no standard duration should be promised.
Exceptions and special cases: Seasonal, study, family and long-term titles differ.
If the procedure stalls: If the Questura requests a supplement, send termination and registration within the deadline and keep proof.
Practical example: After dismissal, the applicant attaches DID and job-search evidence instead of leaving the file unchanged.
