Study In Italy

The Italian laws permit a student to work 4 hours a day and a maximum of 20 hours a week. Irrespective of your years of experience and personal profile, Italian Companies generally look to hire you as an intern and the pay would be around EUR 500 - 1000. Paid internships are possible in rare cases.

Nope, the visa just gets you a "permesso di soggiorno per motivi di studio" when you arrive, which is what allows you to study and live in Italy.

The opportunity would be very competitive compared to other European countries like France, Germany etc. You would be required to have a good command of the local Italian Language and exceptional command of English. It is illegal for non-EU citizens to work in Italy without a "permesso di lavoro" (work permit). For full-time jobs, it would be EUR 1300 - 1500 per month again depending on your profile and years of experience in Italy.

It's not that you can't find one, but it takes hard work to manage both. it's impossible to get a job without having the skill to speak Italian properly. With local Asian contacts like Bangladeshis, Pakistanis, Indians, etc you can find work at Bars, Restaurants or with newspapers & pamphlets distributing which again depends on the location of stay.

The academic year is split into two semesters, from September/October to January/February, and from February to July.

Italy’s university fees differ depending on the institution and course. According to government guidelines, average fees in Public Universities are between US$850 and US$1,000 per year, but private universities will be more expensive.

International students are eligible for the same scholarships and grants as local students, assessed by academic merit or financial need. Italy describes its higher education system in terms of three ‘cycles’, i.e.undergraduate degrees, master’s degrees and doctorates.

If you receive a scholarship or fellowship grant of at least EUR 6,000.00 Euros per year from your university then you may show only your scholarship agreement documents for proof of economical capability. If you are receiving some partial scholarship which is below EUR 6,000.00 per year, then you should show sufficient proof of economic capability for applying for the stay permit.

In order to prove that you have sufficient means of support, you should show a statement of your current bank account issued by your Bank giving your details (name, surname, etc.) and the details of the Bank. If the current account is not in your name but in the name of your parents, for example, then the Bank can issue a statement of their account to which your parents attach a declaration stating that you have their consent to use their current account. The amount you have to consider is EUR 5,061.68 (if only for the applicant alone or with a family member), EUR 10,123.36 (for the applicant and two or three family members), EUR 15,185.04 (for the applicant and four or more family members). The sum of the income should include any further revenue of any other family member living together with the applicant. The bank statement must be original

You can deposit the amount of INR 5 lakhs the day before you apply for a visa and once you receive the visa you can withdraw it. Those who cant arrange this amount can approach any travel or foreign currency exchange agents who give a guarantee for you by paying approximately INR 10,000 as commission.

Only PhD students and 2nd year Master students (Laurea Magistrale at least 120 credits and must be 2nd year) may apply for a temporary stay permit (called permesso di attesa occupazione)* which lasts for a period of 6 to 12 months maximum and allows students to legally live in Italy after their graduation while searching for a job. other students can stay only until their stay permit (Permesso di Soggiorno) expires. In case you don't find a new job before your Permesso di Soggiorno expiration date, you must leave the country. Staying in Italy with expired Permesso di Soggiorno is illegal.

Please note: For applying for this temporary stay permit you need to show proof of the economical capability of no less than EUR 8,500.00 in your bank account and proof of a valid housing contract (provided by the Municipality)

Yes, you can. However, if you want to work before you graduate, by law you can only accept part-time contracts, which means you may work up to 20 hours maximum weekly and 1040 hours yearly. In case you wish to work full-time before you graduate, you must convert your stay permit from study to work permit, but only within the annual quotas established by law.

Yes, you can, but only within some general rules and only as long as your study permit is valid.

When activating an internship, the Career Service may ask you to submit a copy of your valid stay permit or the receipt of an appointment for renewal made at the Questura.

Please note: that you cannot convert your student permit to a work permit if you have been offered an internship. Additionally, there is no guarantee that the Questura (Police Station/Headquarters) accepts to renew your study permit after graduation for an internship beginning after your current stay permit expires.

Internship periods have a maximum duration of 12 months, regardless of the number of extensions.
