As a Non-EU citizen, you can enter Italy for up to 90 days within any 180-day period as part of the Visa Waiver Program, or with the relevant Visa. If you wish you stay beyond 90 days, you must have a Visa that allows you to be compliant with Italian immigration laws. If stopped, you risk a fine, or worse, a ban from entering Schengen for a certain period of time. Regardless of your nationality, if you stay beyond 90 days without a Visa, you are illegal.

Therefore, if you wish to live and/or work legally in Italy beyond 90 days, as a Non-EU citizen, you must apply for the relevant Visa. Here is a brief overview of your options:

Work Permit: You may obtain a work permit through

1) an intracompany transfer 

2) meeting the criteria for a highly qualified position

3) within the quota system as an employee or self-employed professional (this can be challenging, but not impossible). Most employers are not willing to sponsor a work permit, but some will.

Start Up Visa: Since June 2014 a streamlined, fast-track procedure for Self-Employment Visa applications is in place for foreign entrepreneurs willing to establish innovative business companies in Italy.

Limited liability for the company owners, i.e. each owner’s liability is limited to the cash or assets he/she has contributed to the company;
Separation of ownership and managing powers; hence the owners of the company are not necessarily also the directors of the company, and directors are not necessarily company owners;
Freely transferable shares;
