Emma,
I am unfortunately a US citizen, and thus not part of the EU. I am looking for tips on emmigrating to Italy (and Spain) to start a business there.
I hesitate to buy your book because I need info for non-EU citizens.
Any help, advice? All the info I seem to find is geared for you lucky EU citizens.
thanks,
Pablo

Hi Paul
Because I'm an EU citizen, the book naturally slants this way. But because starting a business is the most viable way for non-EU citizens to come to Italy, we wrote the book with this in mind. There are interviews with non-EU citizens so you can see the steps they took to get themselves legal. The forms you need to fill in for starting a business are also the same.
Hope that helps
Emma

Hi there, I am Italian, Sardinian actually, and I congratulate you all for this interesting web site (especially the things You don't like about Sardinia! :-D), which gives me the chance to see my land through your eyes. Available for any kind of partnership or just exchanging information for those who need them.
