Hi there—I don't believe that Jeff Opdyke has ever written on this topic. However, I forwarded your question to Ted Baumann, our banking correspondent, and he recommended using Weber Vrijhof Hoffman and partners in Zurich for your gold storage needs. However, he also noted that he prefers to recommend New Zealand Volt, as the transaction costs are lower in New Zealand (compared to those in Switzerland) and the quality of the service is identical.

Hello, and thank you for your question.

This is a Visa Question and I am going to answer it partially then send you to Grazia Colombo who is a lawyer who works in this area. She is a professional and as such will charge you so you need to make sure you questions aree pointed and answering precisely what you need to know.

I will say this: the work Visa is generaly granted to someone who already has a job and is moving to Italy to continue that work or to start a new job in Italy for which they have alreday been hired. There is also a Remote Worker Visa for someone who can work remotely and wants to live in Italy.

The Italian government, and Italian companies have some benefits for hiring foreigners but from what I have been told those benefits only last six months to a year. At the end of that time the company fires the foreigner and hires back an Italian. I have heard this from two different foreigners, one who has a masters in Hardward Engineering and is cleaning homes.

So what I would tell you is that the best thing for you to do is to contact those companies, (in Italian) and see what is available and how long the job might last. Your years of experience speaks highly for your eligibility. Your lack of Italian language skills may be best overcome before you arrive. I wish you the best of luck in your endevour and please don't let the hurdles end the dream!
