In situations of effective need, which in any case will be examined by the head of the Consular Office, the Italian citizen can make use of the consular services with an emergency procedure.
For these requests, the applicant will have to pay, in addition to the cost of the service, also the emergency fees.
The urgency must be justified by:
• serious family or health reasons, with the urgency being certified by public/private structures or by the competent authorities;
• need to renew the Australian Visa, proven by a letter from immigration agents;
• urgent need for work reasons, proven by a detailed request signed by managers (complete with the name, role and telephone number of the signatory) on the employer’s headed paper and by the presentation of the flight ticket or other travel document.
Please note that the benefits of the emergency procedure cannot in any way be extended to the applicant’s family members.
If the applicant is not registered with AIRE, for the issuing a passport, the Office has to acquire the authorization (Nulla Osta) and delegation from the competent Police Headquarters in Italy. In the absence of this, the passport cannot be issued even in emergencies.
