Finding work in central or northern Italy?

Question

I moved to Naples, Italy in Sept. of 2005. I have been teaching English at a school since then, but the school does not offer help in obtaining a work visa. The school year will be over in the beginning of June, and I am now searching for summer time work and also work for the fall. I would like to head to central or northern Italy as Naples has not been my cup of tea.

Before moving to Italy, I worked for Intel Corporation for 10 years. I don't expect to be able to get a job with a major company, however, since I don't know the Italian language very well yet. (sigh) So, until then, I'm searching for any summer time work and probably teaching work in the fall. If you have any ideas, I would so appreciate your reply. Thanks!

Answer 1

i have heard that the italian gov. is in the process of legalizing all the ppl who are not already legal in italy. which means that they will give Permesso Di Soggiorno to all. hopefully this might help! good luck

Welcome to h**l...

I just moved from Italy.

What you need is a Permisso Di Sogerno (not spelled right) but there you go. This allows you to live and work in Italy. Without it you're totally screwed unless you work a black market job which is what your english teaching job sounds like.

Also, thoughout Italy there's not much of a drive for English lessons, especially in the north where the market is flooded.

The permisso is the golden ticket.

There are two ways to get one.

A company applies for a work visa for you, or you get married.

I married an Italian and lived near Torino and got a visa in time to work on the Winter Olympics. But it's difficult. My friend Nataly has been in Italy longer then I have on a touristic visa. You can apply for a student visa which I think has a limmitted work permission, but you have to leave the country and go to the U.S. to do it.

We might be able to stir up something for you. At least some english tutoring contacts. :)

Good luck!
