Case

  D. is a non-EU singer that lives in Italy. He was finishing his bachelor’s degree and didn’t know which solution is the best for him to remain in Italy. He already had some contract with the theaters and had encountered some difficulties because his student’s permit of stay didn’t allow him to work for more than 20 hours per week.

​

  We’ve talked about his situation, and I proposed him 3 solutions: 

  1. He can continue the education and obtain the Master’s degree (in theory, he can stay in the Conservatoire for up to 8 years)

  2. He can request the “waiting for the job” permit of stay with the 1-year duration

  3. In his case, after he obtains the bachelor’s degree he can request the “autonomous work” permit of stay. For that, he needs to have a residency in Italy, and open the VAT position first.

​​

  We’ve decided he will proceed with the ”autonomous work” permit of stay because this will give him more flexibility regarding the working hours. I sent him the links that regard the procedure of the permit of stay conversion and told him about my experience when I was doing that. Now he has finished the Conservatoire and is working in Italian theaters, even during the pandemic.

FAQ

Q: In which languages can we talk?

A: We can talk in English. Italian or Russian.

​

Q: Can we talk about non-Italian opportunities?

A: I specialize in Italian opportunities. I can take a quick look at the program you want to ask me about, but I am more comfortable and secure talking about the Italian market. Many things are the same in all countries, but when comes to the evaluation, I want to be cautious

 

Q: I was admitted to the paid program, and want to know your opinion about it. Can you do that?

A: If this program is in Italy, yes. If it is in another country, I can give you some general tips about the evaluation of paid programs.

 

Q: I am not sure about my level. Can you listen to my recording and give me feedback?

A: Yes, a very general one. It will help you understand your overall level. If you need a more detailed feedback, you can ask me to do the Audition Material Checkup.

 

Q: Can you help me with the list of documents to obtain my visa/permit of stay?

A: I’m not a lawyer, so I don’t think that my consulting is un ultimate solution for that. But I can give you some general information about the solutions that can fit your situation - for example, which opportunities permit you to stay in Italy for a long time, and how you can use them.
