Jobs in Italy

With a highly flourishing culture pervading a laid back pace of life, there are few better places in the world to work than in Italy. Not only is the boot-shaped peninsula the hub of much of Western life and culture, but it is still a trendsetter in the world of food, fashion, and the relaxed, inspired lifestyle idealized in travel blogs. Italy attracts millions of visitors annually but to truly experience la dolce vita you’ll have to work in Italy. Shopping on the weekend, an aperitivo after work, and indulging in the language and culture are all on hand when you’re living in il bel paese.

Frequently Asked Questions

Skip “speculative” search by checking out and comparing offers on a jobs abroad platform. Learn about the legalities of working in Italy as well and learn some Italian since many locals are not fluent in English.

Contact the Italian consulate or embassy in your country to know the requirements. Please note that securing an Italian work visa is generally difficult, with the government limiting the permits it grants for most jobs, so you need to move fast.

The cost of an Italian work visa is 116 EUR (125 USD) and for a residence permit is around 77 EUR (83 USD), with charges like the residence card, application stamp, and mailing fee.

The Italian job market is diverse, so a lot of opportunities are available. But among the top five in-demand positions are English teachers, registered nurses, tour guides, sales and marketing representatives, and licensed engineers.

To make it simple, a lot of well-paying jobs in Italy go to locals first. But with the right qualifications, including a master’s degree and several years of experience, you could earn 35,000 EUR a year (or higher) – which is above the minimum wage.

Oui, maintenant je suis française,

After falling in love with France in 2014 I've had the opportunity to come back in 2022 to be an au pair for the absolute best family. I loved every second of my time here and will be trying to get back here as soon as possible to create my life. World voyage gives us the best opportunities to learn about things we don't know like other cultures, languages and see if "the grass is greener on the other side". I am really grateful for thus opportunity that was given to me.
