Permesso is not ready and student visa is expired

As a US citizen you can enter the Schengen area without needing a visa. You can then stay for 90 days. Therefore, my suggestion is that you use this visa-free access to enter Italy, and deal with the bureaucracy from there. In the meantime, prepare your case defense properly:

  • Make sure your passport has at least six months of validity from your date of arrival in Italy
  • Print out the application confirmation and the page that says your permit is ready for pickup
  • Go to the police station and declare that you lost the ricevuta

You will need to bring all the supportive evidence you have in order to explain your situation to the immigration officer upon landing in Italy.
