I am interested in this. My daughter hopes to spend her junior college year in Italy, and it would be nice if she could work part time while there. How do I go about this? My grandparents were born in Italy and immigrated to US. My aunt has their citizenship papers and passports. Does my father apply first, then me, then my daughter? I am completely uneducated on how to do this? Who or Where do I contact for information and application? Thanks

I would say contact your closest Italian Embassy.

Yes, there are Italian consulates in a number of US cities who will give you the answer you need.

Cicerone:

You read my post incorrectly. I did not say US citizens abroad also pay US state tax (they do not) nor did I imply that US multinationals will pay an individual's state property tax (not that I'm aware) what I said was that US companies posting employees overseas will usually tax EQUALIZE to the individual's home state. Meaning, if you live in Washington and Citibank posts you to Rome they will "equalize" you so that you continue to pay the same combined income tax rate you would have paid had you remained in Washington. The result is therefore "neutral" --- you neither win nor lose on tax differential. Obviously there are variations to this and in some cases (eg oil field service contracts in Kuwait)it IS possible to work overseas "tax free". But that's for a different thread.

As italian citizen you are allowed to be employed wherever you prefer around EU and use your 5 weeks holidays to do extra work and pay US taxes.
In Italy you have to give away 10 months of your life between 18 and 26 either in military service or civilian service (i.e. in hospitals etc.).
This will cease since end of 2003.

yes, well before you leap in I'd wait a while seeing as Berlusconi appears to be turinig into a complete Nazi. He's already been seen to hold a plastic comb under his nose and goose step in front of the mirror.

I found this out about "Italian by Descent". My grandparents immigrated to US in early 1900's. They became citizen's in 1913. Any children they had before 1913 could acquire joint citizenship, as well as grandchildren. However, any of their children born after they became US citizens can not.
