How to Live and Work Successfully in Italy

Back in 1990, when I first presented How to Live and Work Successfully in Italy, the landscape in Italy with regards to visas, job opportunities, and housing was very different. For this reason, the event has been constantly updated throughout the years to reflect new changes in the law, incorporate the influence of technology and online careers, and examine how the social fabric of Italy has changed recently. This in-depth event will walk you through all the major aspects of living and working successfully in Italy, which will include:

Visas and Other Permits: Unless you are relocating to Italy as part of an intracompany transfer or you are an EU citizen, you will need a work permit to live and work legally in Italy. This portion of the event will cover all legal aspects, such as applying for a Tax Code, obtaining a work permit and permit to stay, and registering as a resident in Italy at the Town Hall.

Opening a Business in Italy: Even though Italy is not promoted internationally as a vibrant market in which to invest and to do business, mainly due to its reputation for byzantine bureaucracy, high taxation, and an oppressive labor market, Italy offers a lot of excellent opportunities in such fields as tourism, renewable energy, IT, apparel, food, and high-end real estate. This section is dedicated to explaining all of the steps involved in starting and running a business in Italy.

Understanding the Housing Market: The Italian housing market is very different from other markets, and many aspects of it frequently surprise foreigners who relocate here. To fully understand how it works and to avoid any unpleasant surprises, this segment will examine all the major points with regards to renting or buying a house in Italy. The housing market in Italy can be quite complicated for foreigners at times, so participants during this part of the event will gain a lot of valuable information with regards to being a renter or buyer.

The Job Market: Even though the Italian press is filled with doom and gloom, the truth is that there are jobs available in Italy. This segment will look at how to best find a job in Italy and how to network to get the best results possible. Working for yourself as a freelance consultant will also be considered, as will how to find a savvy accountant to manage and follow your business for your peace of mind.

What can you expect to get from this event?

• In-depth overview of the nuances of the housing market.
• Tried and tested techniques for thriving in Italy.

Planning your permanent move to Italy will ensure that your relocation to Italy will go as smoothly as possible, and this event will give you all the necessary tools and information to hit the road running.
