Is Your Sojourner’s Permit Still Valid? Civilian employees and military spouses should check the expiration date on their Sojourner's Permit to ensure it will remain valid during their entire tour. Renewal is not automatic and is the permit holder’s responsibility to ensure it does not expire. Permits are normally issued for the duration of orders to Italy, but tour modifications and other factors may alter the actual departure date. Renewal can only be done 30 days before it expires. If community members wait too long past the expiration day, the Immigration Office may not accept the renewal application, forcing a return to the United States for a new Mission Visa, before re-applying for a Sojourner's Permit. The permit legitimizes the lengthy stay in Italy and must be kept current. For further information regarding the
renewal application, please contact Tiziana Petrarca, paralegal specialist at Region Legal Service Office, at DSN 626-4639 or 081-568-4639. 2015 Naples Area Navy Ball The 2015 Naples Area Navy Ball is scheduled to be held on Saturday, Oct. 17 at a 4 ½ star hotel outside of Naples to celebrate the Navy's 240th birthday.
