EURES Italy - WORK IN ITALY – Info for: Non-EU national

Work in Italy is a Presidium created by the EURES Italy to provide adequate information and guidance to those who intend to have work experience in Italy for short or long term.

In EOJD events it operates mainly as an Info Point with the goal to offer a place (even virtual) to companies to meet their employment needs by meeting foreign candidates and at the same time support, both, to find the appropriate tools for a matching.

Many of EURES' services (in particular EURES on-line services) are freely available for any user with access to the web. If you already live and work in the EEA territory or Switzerland, you can contact a local or regional EURES Adviser to get advice. However, finding a job via EURES does not change the legal obligations and administrative procedures that may apply to non-EU citizens.

Non-EU nationals may have the right to work in an EU country or to be treated equally with EU nationals as regards conditions of work. These rights depend on their status as family members of EU nationals and on their own nationality. Due to complex immigration procedures, employers may as well decide not to go through your application.

If you intend to move from a non-EEA country (except Switzerland) to live and work in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, often your own Ministry of Foreign Affairs can provide you with information on legal requirements to move abroad or refer you to useful information Centre’s.

Work in Italy’s mission is to assist Italian companies in attracting and recruiting qualified foreign candidates in sectors, where Italian companies face skills shortages.

We remind you that the Italian Authority responsible for the entry and stay of non-EU citizens is the Ministry of the Interior.

If you’re not an EU/EFTA national please bear in mind that, while you may participate and apply for jobs during this event, you are still subject to immigration rules and procedures if you want to move to one of these 13 countries to work. 

Immigration policy, as well as its laws, regulations and procedures, are specific to each EU Member State.  

If you have lived for over 5 years in one of these Member States and hold a long-term resident status, you have equal treatment in that Member State to country and EU nationals, with regard to access to employment and self-employment, education and vocational training and tax benefits, for example.

In this particular case, you may be entitled to moving to another country for work. Please bear in mind, however, that this is not granted automatically, as it is subject to meeting certain conditions, namely related to labour market situation, which are defined by each Member State. As a rule, you will have to apply for and be granted a residence permit in that country before you are entitled to work there.

If you are thinking about a job in Italy or Europe, there are at least 5 good reasons to consider seasonal work:

1-  Seasonal jobs could be a great way to start living and working in another European country 

2 - Seasonal jobs could be a great way to increase your skills 

3 - As a seasonal worker you are entitled to the same working conditions as national workers 

4 - Seasonal work is your first step to further job opportunities 

5 - Seasonal work allows you to develop a wider range of professional contacts 

Seasonal work can be a job opportunity for those looking for a job for a fixed term or in any case for a short period; often has as its objective the main one is to offer young people a first work experience, not necessarily professionalizing or linked to one's own course of study and, if carried out abroad, can be a good opportunity to improve the language and learn about ways of life other than your own.

The best time to find a seasonal job in marine areas is summer; while in the mountains, in the winter sports resorts of the northern and central regions, in addition to summer the season is from November to March. In the cities of art there are good opportunities also during the Easter and Christmas holidays.

For seasonal work, the type of contract most frequently applied is that of the fixed term that the employer uses to cope with seasonal peaks of work, that is, an increase in extraordinary and occasional activities that occur in some sectors (Tourism, Trade and Agriculture) and at certain times of the year. 

✨ If you aren’t an EU national, it’s essential to check whether you’re eligible to work in Italy before making plans and you may also be required to obtain a visa. 

 Check with an Italian embassy or consulate in your home country well in advance of your Quota Agreement “decreto-flussi”
