According to the law,[1] family members who do not have an individual right to international protection, have the same rights recognised to the sponsor. Once in Italy, they get a residence permit for family reasons,[2] notwithstanding whether they were previously irregularly present.[3] These provisions do not apply to family members who should be excluded from the international protection.[4]
Minor children, present with the parent at the moment of the asylum application, also obtain the same status recognised to the parent.[5]
