Why applications on this route get refused
Certificates issued more than 6 months before applying
The info sheet says required certificates must be dated no more than 6 months before the day you submit your application.
How to avoid it: Request your certificates close to your application date rather than far in advance.
Documents not in Italian and not properly translated or legalised
All documents attached to the application must be in Italian, or accompanied by an Italian translation sworn before a competent San Marino authority, or in multilingual certification form. Foreign certifications (except from Italy) must be legalised or apostilled.
How to avoid it: Have any foreign-language documents translated and certified, or apostilled, before submitting your application.
Permit interrupted after 48 months
After 48 months, this temporary work permit is interrupted and the worker must return to their own country; a new application can't be submitted until 30 days after the interruption.
How to avoid it: Plan ahead for the 48-month cap and the 30-day gap before a new application is possible.
