Access to seasonal job for non communitarian citizens
The employer who means to engage a foreign person for a seasonal job must present nominative application to the Unique Point for immigration. In the cases in which the employer does not have a direct knowledge of the foreign person, the request must be immediately communicated from the Unique Point to the Employment Centre competent, that verify within five days the eventual availability of Italian or communitarian workers to accept the seasonal job offered.
Within the maximum term of 20 days the permit is issued, the authorization to the seasonal job has a validity from twenty days to a maximum of nine months, lining up with the duration of the seasonal job demanded.
The seasonal worker has priority for re-entering in Italy the following year for seasonal job reasons, in comparison with citizens of the same Country who have never entered regularly in Italy for job reasons. He can, moreover, convert the residence permit for seasonal job in residence permit for short or long time job, provided that the conditions come true.

Job Access for communitarian citizens

The freedom to work within the UE is one of the base rights sanctioned by the institutive treaty of the European Community that guarantees to every citizen the freedom to live, to work, to look for a job, to start an enterprise and to supply services in whichever State member. Therefore, each worker of the Union has the right to carry out a subordinated activity in whichever State member, no matter its place of residence, at the same conditions of the citizens of the country.
They can enrol in federal employment agency lists benefiting from the same assistance offered to the national unemployed. The knowledge of a language can be a condition for job access.
By the law the European citizens who mean to work in Italy can look for a job for a limited period of time (3 months); in case of a longer stay it is necessary to prove the effective possibility to find a job and applying for a residence permit.
The residence permit can be applied for through police headquarters or post offices (with the EU citizen kit). It is valid for five years and is renewable.
