All EU nationals have the right to look for work in Italy. There are growing opportunities in all industries especially in tourism, commerce and catering. Advanced technology is gradually making its presence known.

BEFORE LEAVING THE UNITED KINGDOM

ONCE YOU ARRIVE IN ITALY

If you have work, you must take a Permesso di Soggiorno to the police station, la questura (see our Residency and entry requirements page).

Keep an eye on the job section, Lavoro, of major Italian newspapers like Corriere della Sera, La Repubblica, Il Sole 24 Ore and Italia Oggi.

Consider speaking to an advisor at the local employment agency, centro per l'impiego, and signing on their registry: addresses available in telephone directory. Remember that not everybody will speak English.

Most international job-centres have opened in Italian cities too.

Most major Italian cities have a list of English-language publications where ads are placed by both Italian and international companies.
