The visas are valid for a minimum of eight days and a maximum of ninety days. EU citizens only need to present an identification document to be allowed into Italy.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Staying Long Term in Rome \u2013 Looking for work\/Have work\/Internship<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"western\">Italy is part of the European Union and allows nationals of the EU to seek jobs and begin working without a work permit. However, a \u201cdeclaration of presence\u201d from the local police office is required. Also, EU-citizens planning to stay beyond three months, must apply for a residence permit. For non-EU citizens, work visas are required and include the distacco visa and quota visa. Distacco is for those working for non-Italian companies and valid for about two or three years. The short-term visa is non-renewable. Quota visa is for those employed by Italian companies and is limited depending on the job category and your nationality.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Non-Working Residents \/ Retirees<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"western\">Retirees living in countries within the European Union do not require a visa to relocate to Italy. They only need to register at the nearest police station in the metropolis that they choose to live in. However, non-EU retirees must apply for the elective residence permit and fulfill the requirements before settling in Italy.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Studying in Rome<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"western\">EU nationals can stay in Italy for the duration of their study as long as they have a valid passport or Identification card. There are two types of student visas in Italy which apply to non-EU citizens.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Type C \u2013 for those whose study program does not exceed ninety days or three months. The short-stay visa allows the holder to make more than one entry into Italy within the designated time period.<\/li>\n<li>Type D \u2013 for those planning to study for more than three months in Italian institutions. The long-stay visa allows you to stay beyond ninety days or for the length of the study program. Holders of the visa are required to present themselves to a nearby police station within the first eight days of arrival and will be sent a residence permit card to provide they reside in Italy legally.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; el_class=&#8221;city-side-bar&#8221;][vc_row_inner el_class=&#8221;sidebar-section-one&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Top Tips&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h4|font_size:24|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221;][vc_separator color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; thickness=&#8221;1&#8243; up=&#8221;&#8221; down=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<table class=\"table table-condensed sidebar-section-one-table\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"number\">01<\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid dining in major tourist centers if you can.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"number\">02<\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember to be patient as things often take time in Rome.
