Staying In Italy After Studies

After earning their master's or PhD, Indian students are eligible for a post-study work permit in Italy. It is possible for students studying in Italy to change their student visa into a post-study work permit. However, to obtain an Italian post-study work visa, non-EU citizens or international students must complete three main steps. To start with, the employer must apply for the employee's Nulla Osta al Lavoro work permit. The employee can begin the post-study work visa application once the employer gets the work permit from the Italian Immigration Office. The applicant may then apply for a residence permit after being granted a post-study work visa.
