Hello Zaffy,

Have your friend contacted the Italy embassy for some information? What kind of visa is (s)he searching? Visit, Work?

she would like a temporary work vısa for maybe one year to work as an Englısh teacher

Many Thanks

Tell her just to come here and look for a job. It will be much easier than actually applying for the visa. English schools hire people all the time, even if they don't have a visa, and Italian red tape is painful and endless!  I know it seems scary, but you just gotta come and sort out the rest when you get here!
