EU passport holders can live and work in Italy without restrictions. For Non-EU passport holders, you will need a visa to live, study and work in Italy for longer than 3 months. We can arrange this with you when you arrive in Italy if needed. Many TEFL providers allow their students to come to Italy and stay illegally after the three month period, however, TEFL Connect provides a course that allows non-EU passport holders a student visa for a year, which includes Italian language classes, and you can legally work 20 hours per week. You not only receive your TEFL certification but learn a new language as well!
