Emotional Italians owe much of their character to the warm Mediterranean climate, which is characterized by a huge number of sunny days a year. It is not surprising that the Apennines are often the destination of summer vacations for foreign tourists. Russian citizens, vacationing on the beaches of Rimini or Sorrento, often think about how to move to Italy and permanently live in a sunny country.
In 1990, Italians became parties to the Schengen Convention, which clearly spelled out migration laws and conditions under which foreigners can enter the country. The system of priorities, according to which the immigration flow is regulated, includes not only an economic principle, but also cultural preferences. That is why the lack of workers in certain areas of the economy does not always serve as a basis for the mass issuance of work visas to foreigners. According to the adopted legislation, the Committee on Migration Affairs strictly controls the number of foreign guests entering the country on traditional earnings, while residents of Italy and the EU countries still have advantages in obtaining a job.
A little about the country
The reasons for moving to Italy permanently, or at least living in it for several years, are usually:
- A fairly high standard of living of citizens and the relative stability of the economy of the Apennine Peninsula.
- Easy to learn Italian.
- Opportunity to give European education to children.
- The high life expectancy of Italians.
- Perfect climate, environmentally friendly products.
- The quality of medical care.
- Ability to visit most countries of the world without a visa in case of obtaining Italian citizenship.
The right of a foreigner to reside in Italy is confirmed by a residence permit. It is called Permesso di soggiorno and allows the immigrant to access certain rights and services. The duration of the residence permit is due to the reason for which it is issued. For example, in the case of a course of study, it is discharged for a year, for participation in seasonal work - from 6 months, and for work for hire, such a permit can be issued for 2 years.
Legal ways to move to Italy for permanent residence
When deciding to move, carefully study all legal routes and beware of offers to illegally stay in the country. This threatens with trouble and deportation. Citizens of Russia and other countries who decide to:
- Reunite with your family. We are talking about both spouses and children or parents. The program includes minor children born out of this marriage, if the other parent agrees to this, adult dependent children due to disability and parents requiring care due to old age.
- Choose Italy as a place of residence, being a wealthy person with a high passive income.
- Get a job or start a business.
- Come to study. Education in Italy makes it possible to attend lectures by world-renowned specialists, train in other European countries, master the language perfectly and actively integrate into society. A diploma from any university in the Apennines will help you find a good job in the future and get a permanent residence permit.
Another way to stay in Italy is to obtain refugee status. Minor children can become citizens through adoption.

Italian law provides for the possibility of immigration for wealthy citizens who are able to prove their own passive income of at least 80 thousand euros per year. In other words, they can apply for a residence permit in the Apennines, but do not have the right to work and have health and social insurance. This type of immigration to Italy is called "chosen place of residence" (VMZH) and is found in only a few countries around the world.
Passive income means permanent income in the country of origin, which the applicant for an Italian residence permit can document. This can be dividends, pensions, interest on bank deposits, and more. The conditions of immigration to Italy through the chosen place of residence also include the compulsory ownership of real estate in the country of moving or its lease.
All works are good
Attractive working conditions are the reason for attracting migrants from other countries of the world. Foreigners are looking for an opportunity to get a job in order to receive decent wages for their work and significantly increase their own well-being.
To obtain a residence permit due to employment, a potential immigrant must enlist the support of an Italian employer. He invites a foreigner to a position in his company or firm and signs a cooperation contract. The documents are sent for consideration by the migration department, which monitors the observance of quotas for the issuance of jobs to foreigners.
The applicant will have to pass a language proficiency test and prove qualifications by presenting a diploma or other educational documents. As an unskilled labor force in Italy, nannies and maids, nurses and seasonal farm workers are most often required.
A work permit is issued in Italy for six months, and then renewed if the employer continues to need the services of an employee, and he fulfills all the requirements of migration legislation.
Think for yourself, decide for yourself
An immigrant can become a full-fledged Italian citizen in 2-10 years, depending on the method of naturalization. The least to wait for the coveted passport is a foreigner who has married an Italian citizen or citizen. If the spouses have lived in the country all this time, then the citizenship document is issued in two years, if they were abroad, they will have to wait a year longer.
Foreigners born in Italy become citizens of Italy after three years of legal residence, and citizens of countries belonging to the European Union after four. All other applicants must first go through the stage of a temporary residence permit, which lasts five years, and then wait the same amount of citizenship in the status of a permanent resident.
