Good day,

I would like some information about tourist Visas and residency in Italy. I have been asked to come to Italy for an interview. It is a job I鈥檓 very interested in and I鈥檓 sure I have the skills and ability to successfully obtain the position. The problem I have is that since I am a South African citizen, I will have to apply for a tourist Visa to enter the country which is only valid for 3 months. Is there any way to extend my stay or obtain residency if I get the position? Or do I have to return to my home country to apply for a work Visa. Any advice would be appreciated.

Regards
Bianca
