A visit of ninety days or fewer requires no special permit or visa for American citizens or citizens of the EU countries. All extended visits do require a visa or permit. Like those of many other developed nations, the immigration and residency laws of Italy were primarily authored by opponents of immigration. For that reason, it can be quite difficult to establish legal residency in Italy. You need to understand all of the options available before you move. Student visas are among the easiest to obtain--provided you had no difficulty gaining acceptance to a program in Italy. Many programs specifically target students from overseas. For young people who want to spend an extended period of time in Italy this is probably the best option available. If you are already studying at a college or university, contact their study abroad program to see if there are opportunities available with schools in Italy. If you have not yet entered post-secondary education, you can look for Italian universities or American schools with programs in Italy. Work visas are among the hardest to obtain. These are further subcategorized into artist visas, dependent worker visas (for employees), and independent worker visas (for freelancers and other independent contractors). The independent worker visas are especially hard to obtain, but those seeking dependent worker visas are caught in a bit of a catch-22--it is difficult to get a job without a visa, but you cannot obtain a visa without a job. Residency visas require that you can demonstrate that you possess enough wealth to support yourself while in Italy. However, because it is not a worker visa, that wealth cannot come from income based on employment inside of Italy. In order to obtain the visa, you must be able to prove that you have the status that fits one of the above profiles. Here are a few things that you may need: A valid passport issued by the country of which you are a citizen. A green card or proof of residency in another country is inadequate. A letter of acceptance from the college or university you will be attending (if applicable). Bank documents proving that you are in possession of the money that you claim (if you are applying for the residency visa). The documents that you must provide differ based on your nationality and country of residency. You must arrange an embassy or consulate appointment weeks in advance. During the visa interview, you will be asked a number of questions about the length of your intended stay, your purpose, and your background. Really, they need to confirm three things: 1. That you are not going to perpetrate any crimes while in Italy; 2. That you will not become a burden on the social welfare system; 3. That it is not your intent to immigrate permanently. While there are some--such as fabulously rich investors--who are encouraged to immigrate on a permanent basis, in the majority of cases the authorities are told to discourage anyone who has the intent to make Italy their permanent home. Though you may be approved on the spot, you may also be told that a further background check will be required. They will then perform a thorough check to confirm the authenticity of your claims and verify your stated plans. The approval process can take weeks, and approval is never guaranteed. Understand, then, that an appointment scheduled just before your move may not be a good idea. Check the visa to make sure the details listed on it are accurate. Errors could complicate the process and result in a forced departure from Italy.

Summary: Understand Italy's immigration and residency laws. Compile the necessary documentation. Obtain the appropriate visa or permit from an embassy or consulate. Receive your visa.
