f you wish to find work in Italy after graduation, you have to apply for a residence permit for work. You need to present the following to the Immigration Law (Decreto Flussi): valid residency permit for study, housing contract, and proof of your bank account. Next, you will choose what type of work permit you need, if it’s for subordinate work or self-employment. The Immigration office will then evaluate your application against quotas for the year. Once granted, the permit is valid for one year and can be renewed once you’re employed or started a business.
