How often traveling the world, you say to yourself: “I wish to stay here to live!” As a rule, on such thoughts, it is not come, but in the last time, cosmopolitanism is still gaining momentum.
It’s not only about leaving to relocate — many simply do not tend to “settle” for the Motherland and want to live in other countries for several months, and even years.
First, consider why people in General think about living in Italy.
So, 5 reasons to immigrate to Italy:
Incredibly beautiful country with a pleasant climate and a relaxed lifestyle that many very impressed
A stable economy and social benefits (e.g. free medical care)
Loyalty towards immigrants — benefits for the purchase of real estate, the opportunity to establish a business or get a job
Easy to learn Italian language
Free movement in the Schengen countries
How to obtain Italian citizenship
First, if you are going to move to Italy permanently, but simply want to carry out in this country an unlimited amount of time (recall, even have multiple entry visa you can stay in the Schengen area not exceeding 90 days within six months), you need to obtain a national visa type D.
Italian type D visa gives the right to long-term stay in the country. It is possible to obtain:
If you are going to be reunited with his family
If you have a signed contract with Italian company
If you want to work in Italy alone
If you are going to study in Italy (but many students refuse to continue receiving residence permit)
If you want to get political asylum
If you choose Italy as the place of residence (that is, you already have real estate there or sufficient funds to stay in its territory without a job)
Judging by this list, the easiest way to find a relative or to marry/to marry a local; to get a job or buy a property in Italy.
If you managed to obtain such a visa, the following steps are simple: first you apply for a residence permit, and then to receive Italian citizenship.
After a week of stay on the territory of Italy with the type D visa you can apply for a residence permit (residence permit). Submit a request at any local Questura (police in Italy). There are two types of permission for residence permits in Italy: paper and plastic. But the reasons for it getting all the same — work, study, family reunification, political asylum or the choice of Italy as a place of residence with sufficient amount of funds.
A residence permit in Italy is given for a period of 6 months to 2 years, depending on the reason of your stay in the country. If you do decide to move to Italy for permanent residence, you will need to obtain a permit, which is granted only to those who have lived in Italy for at least 5 years. That is, a residence permit you will need to issue at least three times.
And here note: permanent residence are unable to:
Those who have received a residence permit in connection with a long-lasting learning (research, internships)
Those who asked for political asylum and received refugee status
Holders of residence permit temporary protection, or who received a kind for humanitarian reasons
Consuls and diplomats
That is from the previous list is only reunification with family, work and the choice of Italy as the place of residence (which entails the purchase of real estate or a massive Bank account).
When the right to relocate you, in fact, are already an Italian citizen, the only difference is that you have no right to vote. To apply for obtaining full citizenship, you need to reside in Italy for another two years.
You can deny citizenship if:
You for 12 months was not on the territory of the European Union
You were not in Italy for the past 6 years
You fraudulently obtained a permanent residence
You both became the holder of a permanent residence in two European countries
You are deported
Work in Italy
Of all the possible grounds for obtaining a permission for permanent residence in Italy or citizenship to help the Council can only work with and purchase of real estate. Family ties you can find (or make ;)) yourself, and a decent Bank account you can only inherit or earn.
As for job search in Italy, things are tight. Even some ten years ago, many went to the country to quickly find work and stay in Europe. Now it has become almost impossible: the Italians suffer from unemployment.
Therefore I advise you to first find a job and then have to go and try to obtain a residence permit. To find a job in Italy through a special Agency (check them a few times), through friends or through direct recruitment in a particular company. Before you sign with someone a contract, make sure that you will be able to use it to obtain a residence permit.
