About This Webinar
Italy is experiencing a record Semester in terms of numbers of students coming from North America to spend a study period in the Italian Peninsula.
The Italian authorities are monitoring the steady flow of foreign students, faculty and staff coming from non-EU countries, particularly the US, Canada, Australia, Japan, Brazil and Israel. Consequently, the Italian government has been, and will continue to, investigate the legal and tax status of foreign educational institutions.
