Your move to Italy

The residence permit The beautiful country of Italy is one of the founding countries of the European Union, so it is necessary to obtain a residence permit as a formality. This authorization should be applied to the responsible authority for foreigners within eight days and the new place of residence be disclosed. Unfortunately, obtaining a residence permit is quite frequent, so there may be a waiting period of a few months before you can hold the permit in your hand and feel at home. However, in order to be able to live in Italy or to find a job, one does not have to wait so long, but can take care of it without the permission. In the end, it can be said that the EU directives are confirmed once again in written form with the receipt of the approval.

In addition to his mother tongue, he was to speak Italian and German. Italian tenancy law differs significantly from German tenancy law. A rental contract is not always common in Italy. Especially in large cities, landlords require a recommendation from the previous landlord or for example the employer. Always have a confirmation from the landlord that you are the tenant of this apartment. Such confirmation shall be provided when registering with the place of residence.The customs - what should be observed when entering?

The corresponding forms are always the same and should be applied for shortly before the Italian customs.
A so-called observation period of twelve months applies to the imported household-free household goods. This means that the items may not be sold or given away in the first 12 months after importation. It is not allowed to rent or rent the items during these twelve months.
