You need to sign a residence contract (in Italian) and provide your passport and travel documents. Your work authorization can be valid for anywhere from 20 days to nine months, based on the length of your employment. Residence permits are granted for the period and purpose specified in your visa. For individuals who are not citizens of the European Union, obtaining authorization to reside and work in Italy entails a three-step procedure: First, secure employment with an Italian company that is willing to sponsor you and initiate the application for your work permit, as they must seek your work authorization within Italy. Subsequently, you must apply for an Italy Work Visa at the relevant Italian diplomatic mission in your country of origin.
