What documents do I need to open a shop in Italy?

Italian immigration law stipulates that foreign immigrants who have legal residency can apply for immigrant visas for unmarried and underage children and their spouses if they can afford the living expenses of their relatives. Relatives can also get a work permit after entering and staying in 1 year. If you are not working for family reunion, you can also apply for your parents to immigrate to Italy.

Immigrants applying for entry outside Italy must first obtain a work permit from the relevant provincial labor bureau. This work permit is valid for 2 years, and you can apply for an entry visa to the Italian Embassy with the work permit. Foreigners' spouses, unmarried and minor children can apply for work permits after entering the country.

The Italian government stipulates that all migrant workers who move to Italy must pay 5% of the cost to the government as a repatriation fund if they have no living security in the future. Foreigners who enter Italy illegally, whether they are employed or not, will be repatriated to their countries of origin, and their Italian employers will be severely punished or imprisoned for 3 months to 1 year.
