Expired permit, can I still renew it?

I am a non-EU citizen, I have a residence permit for employment. My permit expired for 30 days, but I have been hospitalized and have not applied for renewal. Can I renew it now?

Rome - August 31, 2010 - The renewal of residence permit must be requested by the alien to the Chief of the province where dwelling, at least sixty days before the deadline, and is subject to verification of the conditions for the issue and the various conditions laid down by the unique.

The residence permit is renewed for a period not exceeding that established by the initial release, of course, the permit is revoked, or when there are lacking the necessary requirements for entry and residence in the State.

In your case the permit is expired for thirty days, but are not yet past sixty days from the deadline and therefore you can still submit the application.

In fact, for the law, under Article 13 of the Consolidated immigration, deportation is ordered by the Prefect when the alien did not renew the permit because it has expired by more than sixty days and has not been applied for renewal.

 
In practice there are no special penalties in case of late submission of application but it certainly should not spend more than 60 days from the expiration of the permit, and you still remember when the police will assess the application could reject it.

In your case, however, you could not renew the permit because you were at the hospital as an inpatient and therefore I suggest you attach the documentation for admission.

Article 13 paragraph 2 of the Immigration Act it states that "The expulsion was ordered by the prefect when the stranger was held in the State without having asked permission to stay within the prescribed period, unless the delay is due to a force majeure, or when the residence permit has been revoked or canceled, or expired for more than sixty days and has not been applied for renewal.

Therefore, it is by believing that the request late renewal is not automatically inadmissible or immediately sanctioned, and discretion by the Police authority.
