MILAN FOR LIVING
A remarkable number of foreign citizens accounting for around 10% of
Milan's total population has chosen Milan as the city where to live,
work and raise their children. In the latest years an increase in the
presence of foreigners in Milan has been recorded. National laws
regulate the entry of foreigners in Italy. This section includes all the
necessary information to comply with the rules to legally enter and
settle in Italy. If you intend to move to Milan and wish to know more
about the country, visit the Herald Tribune website
www.iht.com to
read useful and up-to-date news on Italy. DOCUMENTS REQUIRED
Foreigners wishing to enter and settle in Italy must possess a regular
permit of stay which is also indispensable to register at the Registry
Office as resident and to benefit from medical assistance. It is very
important to know that whoever enters illegally the territory of the
Italian State is unable to regularize his/her position while remaining
in Italy. Illegal immigrants (even if they have found a job) wishing to
regularize their position must first return to their country of origin
and only from there they may apply for a regular permit of stay. If you
are looking for information about the permit of stay visit the website
of the Office for Foreigners of Milan City Council
www.comune.milano.it and the site of the Italian Ministry of
Foreign Affairs
www.esteri.it
After regularizing their own position and complying with all the
procedures and rules, foreigners choosing Milan as their elective city
will start moving their first steps towards integration in the city's
daily life. This means both putting down their roots in the new Milan
social context while preserving strong links with their origin. Visit
INPS (National Institute of Social Security) official website
www.inps.it and learn about the rules regulating social security
benefits in favor of foreign citizens legally living and working in
Italy. |

DRINKING WATER IN MILAN
All Milan public and private buildings are supplied with drinking water
from the municipal water mains. If you move to an apartment block, you
do not generally have to do anything as the contracts with the water
board are made out to the apartment block itself. If you move to a house
where there is already a contract with the water board, you must
transfer your name to the contract by notifying the local council. If
you do not own your home, your transfer application must be accompanied
by the owner's authorization and the tenancy agreement.
GAS AND ELECTRICITY IN MILAN
The company that supplies natural gas and electricity to Milan is called
AEM www.aem.it. AEM has created an easy-to-use portal to allow customers
to connect up to the gas and electricity supplies through the Internet.
If you are moving to premises that are not connected to the electricity
or gas supplies, if you are taking over an existing contract, or other
requests, visit
www.miservi.it.
FIXED PHONES
In spite of the liberalization of the so-called "last mile" (Unbundling
Local Loop (ULL)) which took place in 2001, the Telecom Italia group
www.telecomitalia.it still enjoys a monopoly position as regards phone
lines.
VOCATIONAL TRAINING IN MILAN
Finding a job is often difficult in particular if you are a foreigner
lacking adequate training. This is the reason why it is advisable to
know the Centers for Vocational Guidance and Training which organize
preparatory and training courses addressed to unemployed while
establishing contacts with the labor market. A database advertising
vocational and training courses both public and private provided by
different national, regional and city's institutions are available.
