Italy - Visas and Permits Required – Living La Dolce Vita – Pt 2 ❤️ ❤️
The Different Types of Entry Visa
Italy – if you want to be living la dolce vita, you need to know what visas and permits are required – and we continue with an introduction to the main types of visa to apply for.
In part 1 of this series - Italy - Visas and Permits Required – Living La Dolce Vita, we highlighted 2 key factors that you must determine from the very outset:
1. Are you a citizen from within the EU - yes or no?
2. Will your stay in Italy be less than 90 days - yes or no?
You must also be clear on the type of documentation you require in this whole process, for example, to enter Italy, you require a VISA.
To stay in Italy, you require a PERMIT.
So let's now focus on Step 2.... ENTRY INTO ITALY.
Here are those types of visa to apply for, which are dependent on your personal circumstances and reasons for wanting to live in Italy.
(1) Elective Residency Visa.
Referred to locally as the Visto per Residenza Selettiva o Dimora this visa is for foreigners (non-EU nationals) who can afford to live in Italy without having to work.
Sometimes referred to as the Retirement Visa, this is ideal for retired expats who want to move to Italy on a permanent basis.
To get your Elective Residency Visa, you must arrange to visit the Italian consulate or embassy in your home country.
To show that you have sufficient financial means to sustain your day-to-day living requirements, you should ensure that you can present documents such as bank statements, share portfolio holdings from investment brokers, social security entitlements (especially those that will continue to be paid to you whilst you live in Italy), and property rental receipts.
This proof will be required for each adult member of your family.
(2) The Family Visa (Visto per Coesione Familiare)
This visa is for a family that enters and leaves the country together, so, typically, it would be parents with young children.
Together with your other paperwork, you will have to provide birth and marriage certificates for each family member.
(3) The Student Visa (Visto per Studio)
This visa is applicable for students enrolled in a university in Italy or a foreign university located in Italy.
Surprisingly, language schools do not apply.
Otherwise, obtaining the visa is reasonably straight forward.
(4) The Working Visa
A work permit is required to be applied for and obtained by your prospective employer when you apply for the visa.
This is a three-step process:
(A) Initial clearance is required from the local employment office (Ufficio Provinciale del Lavoro e della Massima Occupazione) in the city (or province) of employment; and then
(B) the work permit has to be approved by the regional and central authorities; and, finally
(C) once the work permit is issued to the employee, it now allows them to apply for the work visa.
The main requirement to overcome for the employer is that they must declare and show that you are taking on a position that can’t be performed or fulfilled by a local Italian national.
With your visas (and valid passport) in place, the next phase of staying in Italy legally is to obtain your Permit to Stay (Permesso di Soggiorno)….
And that is what you'll find out about In the next video - part 3 of 4 - where the focus will be on applying to live in Italy on a permanent basis, and the steps required to be taken to achieve that.
Until then.... ciao for now!
