We have a permit issued by another state can I work in Italy?

I am a foreign national with a residence permit for EC long-term residents issued by another state. Can I come and work in Italy?

Rome October 19, 2010 - The owner of a residence permit for EC long-term residents issued by another EU member state, valid, can work and reside in Italy for a period longer than three months, be employed or self-employed, and also to attend courses of study or vocational training.

Foreigners can also stay for other lawful purposes provided, however, proving to be in possession of means of subsistence, not occasional, amounting to more than double the minimum required by law for exemption from health costs and a health insurance program for the period lounge, open to 17,000.00 euro.

Of course if you want to perform a job that is subject to self-type must always be able to fill in the form Ls registered request for permission to OSS in this case is independent from the requirement of actual residence abroad.

The alien is then issued a new permit based on the activity carried on, and when mature the requirements may also obtain a residence permit in Italy long-term, in this case a Member State which had left the previous EC notified that the permit is issued.

The police must then issue a temporary residence permit renewable withdraw without permission CE already owned, simply informed the national contact point.

the foreign national has the right to maintain the status of long-resident in the Member State of origin until they acquire such status in another Member State, which happens only after five years of legal residence and provided that there are other conditions laid down ' art. 9 bis of immigration.

The same thing is expected, if the foreign national holder of a permit issued by Italy EC moves to another Member State, even in this case can not be deprived of the status of the sponsor and the corresponding long residence permit to Italian when this condition does not acquire the Member State of destination.

In the event that the alien should instead only stay for a period not less than three months must apply for a visa but must only report its presence in the territory to the police.

We recall that the EC residence permit is revoked in the event of transfer of long-term residence permit from another EU Member State and also in case of absence from the territory of the state for a period exceeding six years and if absent from the EU for a period of twelve consecutive months.

It is planned to issue the permit, with the same period as the permit issued to the long-term residents, even to family members who accompany or join them.

Caregiver: how to calculate overtime?

I'm a Indiana lady, working as a servant at in a small town, my contract requires me to work 26 hours a week, not living with her, the lady recently asked me to do many hours of overtime, as they should pay me more hours ?

 the lady should recognize increases the hourly wage for the hours of work performed are in more than overtime.

For the law is treated as overtime that exceeds the daily or weekly maximum duration fixed by the contract you signed and in any event, except as provided by the collective agreement, but you can also decide that the extension is due to a recovery of hours that you previously agreed in this case then it is considered extraordinary.

 The collective agreement sets the normal duration of working time for workers living with a maximum of 10 hours a day, not consecutive, for a total of 54 hours per week. For workers not living in 8 hours a day, not consecutive, for a total of 40 hours per week, spread over 5 days or over 6 days.

First lady to ask for at least a day before if you can play more hours of work and can ask to work both day and night unless you, for example, you have a medical examination and then you can not work (only for a good reason).

However, if the lady asks you to work because it is located in an emergency situation, such as a fever, or more generally when there are exceptional or unforeseeable, any services provided during the hours of rest day and night are considered normal font and give rise only to the extension of the rest itself.

First, it must be said, however, that for workers at all hours of the services provided over the schedule, as they fall within the 40 ordinary hours per week, to be paid as normal. Furthermore, again according to the collective agreement the hours worked by workers who are not partners, in excess of 40 hours and up to 44 hours per week provided carried out in the hours between 6.00 am and 22.00 pm, are offset by an increase of 10% .

Overtime must be compensated by adding a surcharge to the hourly rate that varies depending on the circumstances:
• increase applicable to the hourly wage equal to 25% if the additional work is carried out from 6000 hours to 22.00
• increase of 50% if the work takes place between 22:00 and 6:00
• increase of 60% but if the work is done on a Sunday or a public holiday (for holidays are considered: 1 January, 6 January, Easter Monday, April 25th, May 1st, June 2nd, August 15 , Nov. 1, Dec. 8, Dec. 25, Dec. 26)

In your case, so if your work is normally held for 26 hours per week to 7.00 euro per hour in a week and the lady asks you to work for 36 hours, ten 10 hours you have worked in more than is considered normal: then 7.00 X 36 = 252.

But if it works 45 hours a week then the first 40 you will be paid as normal, the 4 will be increased by 10% and 1 will be increased by 25%
Therefore we have:
7.00 X 40 = 280
7.00 X10 = 0.7% x 4 = 30.80
7.00% X25 = 8.75 X 1 = 8.75
The week's pay will be 289.30 euro pariah.

This is a calculation to keep in mind that when it comes to occasional overtime.

However, if your employer is aware that the increase in hours is a constant need to change the contract and immediately notify the INPS.

Maid, how many hours of work to renew the permit?

I am a Indian girl, working as a maid, I found a new job, but was taken only 18 hours a week, when I renew my permit, I will have problems with only 18 hours per week.

Renewal of residence permit must be requested within 60 days from the deadline, the application must be submitted using the form to be removed from the post office and mail enabled for this service.
To obtain renewal is verified the existence of all the initial conditions.

They must therefore be any of the requirements for the initial release, in particular the existence of sufficient means of support, corresponding to earnings, and the existence of an employment contract and the availability of accommodation.

What the police is to consider is that you have a job that gives you the opportunity to live in dignity, the parameter that is taken into account is the amount of capital.

The income needed to obtain the renewal should not be less than that amount of the social changes from year to year, for 2010 the amount of capital amounted to EUR 5,349.89.

To renew the permit, the combined annual salary is equal to the amount of the social, so even if 18 hours are sufficient as long as you have this annual salary as monthly salary so just about 450.00 euro.

The residence permit is renewed for a period not exceeding that established by the initial release.

How to come to Italy for medical treatment

Question: My nephew who lives in Pakistan is sick and I would like to bring him to Italy for medical treatment because the doctors in Pakistani say they don’t have the required facilities to treat him. What should I do?

Answer: Your nephew can come to Italy for treatment, but he must first of all go to the Italian Embassy in Pakistan to apply for visa for medical treatment.

The first thing you should do is to ask your nephew to send you all the medical certificates, translated into Italian.

You can then take these medical certificates to a public or private hospital operating in agreement with the National Health Scheme so that they can evaluate the case. After examining the case, the hospital will issue you a report indicating the type of medical treatment to be carried out.

The report will also indicate the date the treatment should begin and the presumed duration of treatment, and the costs.

Your nephew will be able to apply for visa for medical treatment as well as another visa for the person accompanying and taking care of him.

You should be informed that the patient will have to bear all the medical expenses. In fact at the time of applying for the visa, he’ll be required to prove that he has deposited at least 30% of the medical fee to the hospital.

Either your nephew or someone else in case he is unable, must go to the Italian Embassy to apply for the visa for medical treatment. The applicant will be required to show the report from the hospital indicating the type of medical treatment to be carried out, the date the treatment should begin, the presumed duration of treatment, and the costs.

He’ll also be required to prove that he has deposited at least 30% of the medical fee to the hospital, in addition to proving that he has enough financial means to bear all the medical expenses, food and accommodation, and travel expenses both for himself and the person accompanying him.

Once in Italy, your nephew will be issued a Permit of Stay for medical treatment valid throughout the period of treatment. This permit is renewable as long as it can be proved that the treatment continues.

You should also be informed that there is another possibility of coming to Italy for medical treatment through humanitarian programmes authorized by the Ministry of Health in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Medical expenses incurred by the hospitals in such cases are reimbursed by the National Health Scheme through Regional authorities.

Normally Regional authorities, in agreement with the Ministry of Health and hospitals, authorize highly specialised medical treatments to people from non-EU countries where there are poor medical facilities or where there are no specialist medical staff to carry out certain treatments.

These humanitarian interventions are authorized in case of specific serious pathologies in countries with no reciprocal medical agreements with Italy, or to citizens from countries who’s economic, political, military or any other situation, make it difficult to implement the existing medical agreements with the Italian National Health Scheme.

It is important for you to find out if your nephew’s sickness may qualify him for medical treatment through humanitarian programmes. Please check with the chosen hospital.

Verhofstadt: We have to fight racism and populism in Europe

Statement by President of ALDE on rise of populist far right movements across Europe

In more and more European countries we see the rise of extreme right and populist parties. In several countries they are elected to parliament, in some they are even in government or supporting the government. This evolution worries the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats a lot because what the extremist and populist parties are standing for is exactly the opposite of what we believe in and what we are fighting for day after day in the European Union.

Across Europe, Liberal parties follow different strategies in order to oppose extremist and populist parties. We trust that liberal parties will stand strong and firm on our shared liberal values. On these matters, the ALDE Group will be vigilant. We will judge the governments on their policies. We will not accept they will ever end in racist, intolerant policies targeted against minorities based on colour, religion, origin or sexual orientation. We will not hesitate to act if necessary, as we did over the Roma issue, to condemn acts of intolerance and prejudice. We will never accept policies that conflict with fundamental liberal and democratic values.

Perhaps more worrying is the tendency that more and more politicians from moderate parties from all over Europe are starting to repeat the same populist discourse. (Over the last few weeks and months) we have seen policies against minorities (including the Roma), a general radicalisation about religion and attacks against the open and multicultural society. We also see a return of the discourse of national identity.

For all moderate politicians there is a choice to make. Either we follow this populist discourse in the hope of countering it - a contradictory approach in so far as one cannot oppose extreme right and populist ideas by imitating them - or we analyse more carefully the reasons for the rise of these parties.

It is a fact that European citizens fear their welfare is declining. They fear the consequences of climate change. They fear that globalisation means that other continents are taking over and Europe will be left behind. The successful formula of extreme right and populist parties is that they feed and exploit these fears and propose a closed society instead.

We, Liberals and Democrats, are convinced this ideology of retreating into a nationalist air-raid shelter is the wrong answer to the current challenges. Even more, this answer will turn the challenges into more serious problems for our future. What we need to do instead is to adapt our society to the new multi-polar world: provide the answers to the current economic crisis, and make the process of globalisation something with positive benefit to people's lives; create a humane sustainable and balanced European migration policy; vigorously defend the open society.

This conclusion after a broad debate in the Bureau of the ALDE - Group shall be the basis of a conference in which we will elaborate with in-depth analyses the rise of extreme right and populism in Europe and the strategies to counter them.

By Mr. Guy Verhofstadt, President of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE) in the European Parliament

Five million immigrants regolised

One million are children. The Dossier Caritas Migrantes. "Damage to Italy more than they receive"

October 26, 2010 Rome - Legal immigrants in Italy skim share 5 million, a resource that we consider a problem still persists.

To give as every year the numbers of immigration is the Immigration Statistical Dossier 2010 Migrantes Caritas and presented today in Rome, arrived by now in its twentieth edition. Istat early 2010 counted 4.2 million foreign residents, but the report says 4.9 million become, if we take into account all the regular not yet registered in the register, in practice there would be an immigrant every twelve residents.

The Romanians continued to be the largest community, about 890mila residents, 21% of immigrants, followed by Albanians (470mila, 11%), Moroccans (430mila, 10.2%), Chinese (190 thousand, 4.4%) and Ukraine (170 thousand, 4.1%). Lombardy is home to a fifth of foreign residents (982,225, 23.2%), just over a tenth of living in the Lazio region (497,940, 11.8%), followed by Ontario (480,616, 11.3%) and Emilia Romagna (461,321, 10.9%).

The clearest indicator that immigration is more stable than are the children: a total of almost one million, more than half of whom were born in Italy. Children of immigrants in school are 670mila, 7.5% of the school population. Numbers, they, also raising the urgency to change the rules to become Italian.

It is about 10% of foreign workers, and a holder of 3.5% of foreign companies, rising to 7.2% if we consider only the small businesses. The economic crisis has hit hard the foreign workers: the employment rate between 2008 and 209, has risen from 67.1% to 64.5%, while the unemployment rate rose from 8, 5 to 11%, 2%.

In light of the effects of the crisis, said the dossier, but we must ask whether immigrants, contributing to the production of GDP for 11, 1%, are not the problem or rather a contribution to its solution.

Without foreign workers, agriculture, construction, industry, family support and many other areas not attractive to most Italians would not go forward. The dossier was then calculated that immigrants pay in the public coffers, including social security contributions and taxes, 11 billion euro per year, more than they receive in social benefits and services, 10 billion.

Last year, the Transatlantic Trends Research has shown that half of Americans and Europeans, including Italians, they see immigration as a problem. You can frame this way, calls for the Dossier, a reality which you need?
