not at all. if you sound italian then people will think your italian or no if you didnt come from italy

Italy doesn't want you!

No way. If you don't have time in high school, do it in college. I never studied abroad either times but I had a roommate from Japan. She had a great experience in the US.
4 :
it's never too late dear.
5 :
no we have 4 foreign exchange students in our high school who are seniors this year. I want to study in costa rica or spain as a foreign exchange student. That's pretty cool that you speek italian. Not many people do.
6 :
no. I was a foreign exchange student my sophomore year...and i was the youngest student there. I went to Spain. You can do a Spring semester in Italy but you really need to start doing the application process. I went with Intrax Study abroad but basically you really need to start applying....there are so many other study abroad programs though...and well Intrax just raised it's prices. Also you can do it your senior year for a year or the fall semester so that you don't have to miss prom or graduation... being a foreign exchange student is amazing and you for sure should start thinking about it and Intrax also offers scholarships so that might be something to look at...and remember for the scholarships there isn't much competition only like 5-10 people...so think about it

Not at all. You still have a lot of time.

Visiting Italy again without a visa, limits on stay?
Visiting Italy again without a visa, limits on stay?
I'm planning on studying abroad for a semester in Florence, Italy from about January to April. Because the program is 13 weeks, I would be using a Student Visa during this stay. Now, usually I stay for a few weeks in Milan in the summer without a visa. Will my time spent at study abroad with a visa use up my 12 week visa-free time period?

1 :
Visa free stay is determined as being 90 days within any 6 months period. If you stay in Italy on a student visa until April you should not try to return and apply for visa-free entry before July in other words stay out of the Schengen area for at least 93 days..
2 :
This is really a question you should be asking the Italian Embassy. I'm assuming you're getting the student visa through the Embassy, so they will be able to give you factual information on your visa status once the student visa has expired.

Where in Italy is the best to learn about Italian cooking?
Where in Italy is the best to learn about Italian cooking?
I'm a student that is going to a technical culinary program next year and after i have plans to move to Europe for a couple of years to work as a chef in France and Italy. I was wondering where in Italy is the best place to learn about classical Italian Cuisine. I want to know if i am better off in the country or in the city? I am also looking for a full cultural experience. Thanks

Different regions here have different specialties. It would be hard to go wrong no matter what region you picked. Certainly Emilia Romagna is an excellent place for food. You might actually want to spend some time in more than one region and cover a little of both city and country life.
2 :
For cuisine and culture you need to go to Tuscany. Tuscan cuisine is regarded as te pinnacle of Italian cuisine by Italians and Tuscany is also the most varied and gorgeous cultural hub. Florence is the obvious first choice but any of the Tuscan towns are lovely. Avoid the coutryside simply because you will be in the middle of nowhere and it will be very hard to have a social life - save that for day trips. There are no big towns in that part of Italy that will swallow you up. With culinary training in Tuscany you will have te best chance to get a job as a chef anywhere in Italy or France and you will just be saturated in beauty, history and Italian tradition.
3 :
Tuscany is the centre of the italian art and it's the region where italian language was born, but tuscan cuisine is quite poor compared to other regional cuisine like "cucina emiliano-romagnola" or like "cucina napoletana" (just to nominate two of them). I'm napulitain, it's 19 years I live in Tuscany and love it, think Tuscany is probably the most beautiful italian region, but the cuisine is just good, not great. The sweets in particular are very elementar (there is just an excellent gelato, but that's a sicilian invention). Like Conley said any italian region got its own cuisine. Actually italian cuisine doesn't really exist, or better it exists but it's a recent invention. The traditional italian cuisine is regional. "Italian cuisine" is just a very useful market label to sell the "made in Italy", it's much more comfy than selling sicilian cuisine or roman cuisine, and all the others.
4 :
Actually, a "Italian cuisine" doesn't exist, but lots of different Italian cookings in the different regions. Everywhere in Italy you can find restaurants which serve basical Italian specialities of pasta or pizza, but every region has its own features. I think you'd better choose a middle town, look for a job in a little typical restaurant and learn the secrets of the local cooks. For instance: Pavia, Mantova, Verona, Parma, Ferrara, Ravenna, Siena, Perugia, Orvieto, Viterbo, L'Aquila, Caserta, Lecce, Siracusa (all of them are also very beautiful towns). In the biggest towns you can obviously find excellent restaurants and cooks, but on the average typical culinary traditions are less strong.
5 :
Bologna! it is a very cool city and the best for italian cooking.
6 :
In my opinion Sicilia. Italy has got several flavors... Emilia Romagna e Toscana cuisine is good, but Sicily is the best....Really...

I am from Germany and doing exchange right now in California. I can tell you a few tips: I was really afraid I wouldnt know what to talk about in the beginning, but that is absolutely no problem, at least my hostfamily (which is only one guy) asked me all the questions in the beginning and then the flow started easily. I've been in Italy a few times and the food is amazing. I found friends pretty easily, too, because everyone is coming to you saying hi and a lot of people want to know you. Just make sure you keep hanging out with people and don't be afraid to ask new people do do things with you. I think that was my biggest mistake in the beginning. I dont know about your Italian skills, but I spoke English before I came, I learned it in school and it really wasnt a problem. But even if you don't know Italian, almost everyone in Europe learns English and you adapt very fast if you have to. Don't be afraid to make a mistake speaking, they will correct you and you will get betters, so don't try to speak English all the time :) I am very happy I did this and it has been one of the bets if not the best year in my life. I'd recommend it to anybody. I'm sad I have to leave in 3 months. I hope I could help :) Don't be scared it'll be fun Veith

There's a very few number of Filipino immigrants or Filipino families living in Italy. Most Filipinos are OFWs or working only Italy temporarily. But Milan has a high number of immigrants. You might find some Filipinos there.

Go to the bank there and exchange it for Euros. Another solution is to get and atm card and as you spend, the money will be deducted then converted for you. You can also deposit money in the account to replenish your spending money. If you have a set amount you can get a prepaid Visa card, with plastic you don't have to worry if you lose it or get robbed. it can be replaced pretty easy.
2 :
You are better off exchanging it, though some places may take it for small purchases. Even if they do, it will not be all places, and it will not be for large sums. Additionally because the value of the dollar is decreasing relative to many currencies, you will be coming out ahead by exchanging it and then exchanging it back.
3 :
No. You need euros, which is the currency used in Italy and most other European countries. Either get some before you go through your bank or if you have a debit card, you may be able to use it at ATMs once you're there or you can exchange your USD at a bank, etc in Italy.
4 :
My parents went there and I'm pretty sure they had to get their currency transferred, but what I Am sure of, a pick pocket in venice made off with 400 dollars by cutting my Mums pocket on a bus.
5 :
seriously you need to learn more before traveling abroad if this is a question you are asking-- you are ill prepared to do this trip if this is something you do not know the answer too anwer I dont'y know - if you were a cleark in a store in you sity and someone tried to pay you with mexixan pesos would you take it?? NO NO NO 1. ask your self- where do they use US (it is not called american) money? In the US maybe? 2. If the US has it's own money would other countries have money they use? yes ( most of europe recently decided to use one currancy for thier money- a euro is what you call it) 3. Why woudl another country use our money? 4. If youare going to Europe to shop you do not know enough to travel-- a 3$ box of cereal here in the US cost 6 euros in Italy and while I am sure that icould not possibly explain it to you since you even asked this question that = over 9.00 in US money lets just say that if you want to go to the bank and swap US money for 1 euro you would have to give them 1.62 cents to get one stay home and take world history and a few more classes before going abroad 3.
6 :
No, but you can bring the american money to a bank in italy and get italian money for it.
7 :
Any money is good anywhere as long as you exchange it for there money. In Italy $1.00 = 1236.037 lira. To check it out for yourself search money exchange.
8 :
Definitely not; most Western European Countries, including Italy, use €uro as official currency; there are different way to convert dollar in €uro, usually you can convert at your bank before departure (travelers usually don't because of the high exchange rate you have to pay to the bank) or doing the same once you're in Italy (you can also do at the airport); but the most common way is using a debit/credit card with ATM, easy to find wherever. Still ask your bank (the one that gave you your card) about the cost of withdrawal, that are higher than from a domestic ATM. Traveller's cheque are not anymore advisable. In order to be sure is accepted wherever, it's better a Visa or MasterCard; American Express, Discovery, etc are not accepted everywhere. Also remember €uro/dollar exchange rate says currently dollar is a weak currency and €uro very strong, so in Europe for a an American tourist life can be expensive. Anyway, don't feel traumatized by allamericanred2 :) Even the most expensive American brands of cereals in Italy cost no more than 3 to 4 € (4/6 $) , average is much lower. Edit: unlike Mr Mandi belief, lira is not anymore used in Italy: can be changed in branch of Italian Central Bank *only*.

in terms of spending maybe you could use dollars at the airport but otherwise no. there are a lot of exchange places where you could trade in your dollars for euros but if u do decide to do that there are lots of different prices and some of them are more pricey

Is it fun? Woudl you recommend it? I dont speak Italian, but i'm taking spanish right now in school and i heard that Italian is similar. I just want to go to Italy because of the historical sites and it seems more intersting than Spain (which i've been too and liked but i want to go somewhere new).

Heey! I'm 19 now, but I went on a Rotary Youth Exchange to France when I was 16!! It was, in all honesty, the most awesome experience of my life!! I'm actually going back to see my friends and families next week! I would suggest you go through Rotary, it is cheaper than most organisations and there are a lot of great benefits (Monthly allowance, councellors when you need help with homesickness, host family troubles, or making friends at school). They are extremely supportive people and will do anything to make sure your year abroad gives you everything it could!

I went to Japan in 2005. It was very fun, and I learned a lot about more than just Japan. I would recommend that you study some italian first, but you will be at an advantage over little old me.. ha ha. Youth For Understanding is the organization I went with. They offer lots of great orientations and information, but they do cost a bit more. I didn't have to pay, however. YFU has tons of full scholarships. If I can get one, anyone can. The organization is very safe, and they do extensive background checks and everything. They also did not hesitate to move me when a family member became very ill; think of how they would react if it was something really bad!

Check out the Committee for Safety of Foreign Exchange Students for lots of personal stories. I would not recommend staying with a host family because no fingerprint-based criminal background checks are done and you could be placed in a very bad home. Try a school that offers dorms. That is safer. Yeah, you will learn Italian in about 3 weeks if you already speak Spanish. I did!

My friend went to Japan but she came back early because the family did not really want her there and the agency told her to find her own family if she didn't like it. I wouldn't recommend it.

I would not recommend staying with a host family because no fingerprint-based criminal background checks are done and you could be placed in a very bad home. Try a school that offers dorms. That is safer. Yeah, you will learn Italian in about 3 weeks if you already speak Spanish. I did!

My friend went to Japan but she came back early because the family did not really want her there and the agency told her to find her own family if she didn't like it. I wouldn't recommend it.

Which are the best engineering schools in those countries (continent in the case of Asia). Advantages and disadvantages and finally if they can offer courses in English.

Actually, students from all over the world come to study Engineering in the United States to take the knowledge back home and build better countries. Many students from Africa and the Middle East especially. One of the best engineering schools (and cheapest) in the US is Fresno State... plus the city is about 50% Spanish speaking so you will acclimate quickly.

In India, the best are IIT and BITS. There are also many regional colleges. There are very good engg colleges in the major cities too.

If I go to Italy will I be able to keep? ( Foreign Exchange Student)?
If I go to Italy (foreign exchange) , will I be able to keep taking my current lessons? When I say that what I mean is do you think that I'll be able to either webcam my lessons with my current teacher ( I'm taking Viola) or will I be able to find an Italian Viola teacher? Or do I have to give up lessons all together? Will I be able to get a cellphone there?

It is up to you and your current teacher if you want to do the webcam thing. Do you think you teacher would have all the equipment needed? If you are in Italy for a full year, then it might be better to try and find an English speaking teacher. It might be good to try a new teacher for a new experience. Of course you can get a cellphone! The only thing stopping you would be the cost...I don't know what it is. Some cell phones can become international by just switching out the sim card. You would keep your current cellphone and then get an Italian phone company sim card. Check your current cellphone providers website. Though, I am pretty sure it will be more efficient and cheaper, for you to just use Skype on your computer call back home. International calls can be like $1-$3 a MINUTE!

Wherever you go in Italy, you'll be able to get a cellphone and install Internet. Yes, there are viola teachers there. Some of the best music teachers in the world are in Italy. If you prefer, you can webcam with your current teacher.

If someone is already in Italy and wants to stay over the 90 day?
If someone is already in Italy and wants to stay over the 90 day?
If someone is already in Italy and wants to stay longer then the 90 days allowed without a visa. How would they go about getting a visa without coming back to the states to get one. Also is it possible to get a visa to work to stay in Italy for a year or 2 or only if you get a student visa. Any suggestions? Getting married to an Italian is not the answer by the way.

Most countries in the EU will allow an AMERICAN citizen to apply for a visa while they are in the country on a tourist visa....at least that was the case for me with Germany and France. Your best bet is a student visa unless you already have a job lined up. Finding work could prove challenging and it's usually about who you know not how qualified you are. The European Union is working hard to make it more and more difficult for foreigners to take jobs from native EU citizens as an insurgence of non-natives has increased unemployment for natives. When you apply for a student or any other type of visa you will need to prove financial independence or provide a letter from a sponsor which can be verified. For more info try a search for expat websites or web blogs. To make additional contacts in Italy try www.couchsurfing.com and to search for work or housing try www.craigslist.org and click on Italy then on the city you desire. Take care & enjoy!

You can try to go to Switzerland and apply for the residency permit at the Italian embassy in Switzerland. If you are US-citizen, Canadian, Aussie or Kiwi and don't care about where in Europe you stay as long as it is Europe you can also go to Germany and apply there for a residency permit. Citizens from certain countries are allowed to enter Germany without a visa and can then apply for a residency permit once they are already in Germany. This works especially well if you intend to stay in Europe for up to 6 months. With a German residency permit you are allowed to travel around Europe for 90 days out of 180, so if you get an extension for 90 days in Germany you get to travel around Europe for 180 days. It is not possible for US-citizens to get a work visa to Italy. Your only chance to work in Italy is volunteer work - food and accomodation in exchange for labour. See "WWOOF Italy" for more info.

You have to have an extended stay visa to stay here in Italy over 90 days and you can't get that from here. It is very difficult, but not impossible, for someone from the US to get a work visa here. I did, but it took 8 months even though I already had the job lined up. We've had two other people from the US transfer here since I arrived too. Basically, you need to be able to demonstrate that you have a needed skill that isn't easily filled by someone from the EU. However, again, you have to go back to the US and wait for all the paperwork to be done before coming back. You'll generally need an employer here to apply for a work permit for you. Your best bet is to go back and get a student visa. The residency option for Germany that tmaia mentioned is worth looking into. You would have to prove that you have a place to live and means of support though. There's visa information on this Italian government website: http://www.esteri.it/visti/index_eng.asp and at http://www.ambwashingtondc.esteri.it/ambasciata_washington.

My family (two parents about 50 and my brother (17) and myself (20) has traveled to Italy before and we are planning on going again in about a week. This time we want to bypass some of the usual stuff and have a really fun adventure, that is both active (but not too active so my whole family can keep up) and historical. My brother doesn't want to go because he wants something athletic that will keep him entertained. I am an art student and really looking forward to experiencing some of the art.

My suggestion is to find a region, and go off and have fun. Dont plan to much ahead of time, because then nothing will be spontaneous. I would suggest you pick a region, such as Tuscany, and make reservations at a hotel in a central area, and each day venture out and see what you can find to do...mabe ask the local people in the shops or resturants of nice things to do...and catch a train and go and see and do it. Also, since it is a family trip, you each need to get a turn to choose what you want to do (otherwise not everybody is going to have fun!) So mabe each of you could take a day (or two, depending on how long you will be there) and choose what you want to do on that day...so if your brother wants to go to the beaches or something on his day, you could all go to the beach, and mabe on your day you want to go and see some art work and historical buildings etc.

It depends where in italy you go. Florence I loved first of all because of the amazing scenery, great places to take alot of photo shots and the cathederals are architecural incredible, something your parents would enjoy. Theres the Giotto’s bell tower (campanile) stands on the Cathedral square (Piazza del Duomo). The top, with its breathtaking panorama of Florence and the surrounding hills, can be reached by climbing 414 steps, something your brother would like doing. Then there is my favorite, the Uffizi museum, one of the most stunning works of art I have ever seen. On the top floor, there a huge terrace overlooking the city, amazing. Something you would enjoy. Theres lots of shops, some really interesting and different things you can buy which everyone can enjoy. Go to www.frommers.com for more ideas.

How would an African-American foreign exchange student be treated in Italy High school?
I plan on doing my 11th grade of high school in Italy through a foreign exchange program called YFU. It sounds great and everything, but I'm super nervous. Not only am I going to be away from my mom for a year, but I'll be in a country where people speak a different native language than I do. I'm excited, but I know that I will stand out because not only am I american, but I'm black. How will I be treated? Are people going to be mean to me? I'm shy when it comes to people I don't know, are they going to think I'm stand-offish? I'm friendly, but I'm quiet also. What will high school be like for me?

How can I go to Italy this summer?
I would really love to get away this summer (to italy) and I wanted to study abroad but that would cost 7000 for only 5 weeks. I am wondering if anyone had any ideas? I was thinking maybe finding a family I could teach english to their children or I could be a part time nanny. The only problem is that I don't have much money to spend (I am a college student) and I would need to make money to stay over there for the summer.

First, this depends heavily on where you come from. If you're from the US or other places outside the EU, it is illegal for you to work here without a visa that permits it. You can come here for tourism for up to 90 days without a visa, but you can't work here. If you're coming from Canada, then there is the possibility of a working holiday visa if you plan to be here more than 90 days. This is not available to citizens of the US because the US does not have a recriprocal arrangement. Visa information is available at this site including application forms and addresses of the consulates in your country where you can apply: http://www.esteri.it/visti/home_eng.asp The best way to connect with a family may be to go through an agency that specializes in au pair placements. However, you would be expected to be working most of the time. Many cities, including the small one where I live, have language schools which often employ young people for short terms (several months). However, the English language instructors will usually be from the UK since they don't require work visas and there's much less paperwork involved in hiring them.

I'd ditch the teach English idea. If I were you, I'd drop out of school for a year. Your parents would be so pleased. But listen... Work the winter in Alaska at a canary. Now you've got $30K. Spend the Spring and Summer in Italy stay at hostels, meet cool friends and start school again in the Fall. You may never have another chance to do this.

I would really love to get away this summer (to italy) and I wanted to study abroad but that would cost 7000 for only 5 weeks. I am wondering if anyone had any ideas? I was thinking maybe finding a family I could teach english to their children or I could be a part time nanny. The only problem is that I don't have much money to spend (I am a college student) and I would need to make money to stay over there for the summer.

How would an African-American foreign exchange student be treated in Italy High school?
How would an African-American foreign exchange student be treated in Italy High school?
I plan on doing my 11th grade of high school in Italy through a foreign exchange program called YFU. It sounds great and everything, but I'm super nervous. Not only am I going to be away from my mom for a year, but I'll be in a country where people speak a different native language than I do. I'm excited, but I know that I will stand out because not only am I american, but I'm black. How will I be treated? Are people going to be mean to me? I'm shy when it comes to people I don't know, are they going to think I'm stand-offish? I'm friendly, but I'm quiet also. What will high school be like for me?

Hi, I am Italian. In Italy these discriminations between white and black people don't exist. We don't have a past of slavery, so none will put attention on you colour but on your brain. Have a nice time during your holiday. Ciao!
2 :
I am not Italian, but I have spent 4 months there last year. And I noticed that Italians hate black people, since the majority of them work in black market (selling handbags and sunglasses replicas). I often heard people discriminating black, (I can still remember the tour guide lady from my first trip). Italy is a very nice place and my favorite country ever, but I advise you to visit Italy as a tourist first. Being away from your mom for one year is difficult. Please think about this thoroughly, high school is already tough to go through. Best of luck

You probably got a Shengen visa, meaning you can move around the Shengen area without restriction (thats basically the whole of the EU). So as far as I know you dont, as long you are going to Italy from the country which granted u the visa, which is Spain so everything should be fine.
2 :
They all lie in the Schengen zone but you don't need anything in theory. However, when I crossed the border between Spain and France, police came one and checked for documents. They simply took a 10 second glance at everyone's passports before proceeding. So make sure you have that at least.
3 :
You will need your passport as identification document and the Spanish Student permit (Tarjeta de extranjeros ‘estudiante’) as visa waiver to France/Italy and for re-entry to Spain. There are no regular controls at the border anymore, however the Border Protection Officers of the different Schengen countries may conduct random checks and establish check-points in a 15 kilometer distance behind the border.

How useful would Russian be for a classical music student?
How useful would Russian be for a classical music student?
Specifically and classical piano student. I am planning to study music in Europe my languages know French and English. I would like to learn Russian (add some variety to my languages), but I would also like to learn Italian. So my question is, would Italian or Russian be more useful for studying classical music? Second question (sorry) How useful would French be? No, I don't know where in Europe I want to study yet. I guess England, France, Italy or Russia.

1 :
If you're looking at specializing in Russian music, you'll certainly want to be able to read what the composers, performers, and critics wrote about it. If your interests are more general, German might be a more useful choice.
2 :
If you want to do Russian music like Prokofiev, Khachaturian, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff - then Russian is the way to go but if your doing more European, then 1st Italian, 2nd German, 3rd French
3 :
russian's barely useful at all! Italian is far more useful in classical music, it's fairly rare to see any russian instructions written on a piece of music, 90% of the time it's in italian.
4 :
Good luck studying in Russia... It is extremely competitive and a bit frightening to a new student. Unless you only are going to focus on Russian composers, learning Italian will be more beneficial. A lot of music enforces Italian language.
5 :
Italian and German are used more than Russian in music, even by Russian composers like Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky.
6 :
The most useful languages for classical music tend to be German, Italian and French because these three languages have dominated musical culture for the past several hundred years. Russian, English, Latin and Spanish are probably the next most relavent languages. Of course if you have a particular area of interest in Russian music you'll want to be able read about it in the original instead of a translation. And wherever you end up studying you should be fluent in the native language there.
7 :
i would recomend learning the language of the country you would study in. depends on the music too. italy is famous for classical as well as germany and france and russia. if in my opinion i would say russian because i am learning it but this is only my opinion. i think that depending on your favorite artist i would go with their language so tchaikovsky is russian bach german ect.

im also studying in italy with a student visa, in what area of italy are you studying and are you studying to get a degree here or just for regular classes? it also depends, do you already have a degree? i would think to have a work visa here in italy you would simply have to apply to a job (if you have a degree and they are interested) you can simply get the job offer, go to the Questura, get the papers needed, fill them in and apply. thats at least what im doing when im finishing my studies. this is also my last year at the university until 'io sono laureata' in industrial design. if not, just get a simple job kinda like under the table type of thing like so many people do here and eventually after some time, 6 or 7 months apply for a work vida, but you would have to be sure for what 'ditta' or company/restaurant youll be under. hope it helps!

Why do just want to go for a summer? Do you really think that you can benefit from just 3 months. Typically you see this in college but not in the HS level. If you only want to go for three months you should see what other programs are out there through Rotary or through your school or church. We had a foreign exchange student from Russia and he stayed August through April. He really integrated into our family and we are still close.
2 :
Hi, I agree with the other poster, if you limit yourself to just a summer program, you lose many of the benefits of being an exchange student -- mainly the culture and language immersion. If you are just there for the summer, it's more of a holiday and not an academic experience. If you go for a whole year, or at least a semester, you will be studying in a different language -- and you will truly learn it! Also, colleges and universities LOVE exchange students and often offer them preferred admissions and sometimes scholarship money. On top of that, the language you learn will benefit you in the workplace as well, with a higher salary, especially if you maintain that training through college. All of this equals a much bigger "bang for your buck"! As to finding a program, you can look at www.csiet.org. That site lists all the programs certified to operate in the U.S. You should also ask your high school counselor, as an organization is only as good as its local representatives. Generally, Rotary is the cheapest, but most competitive, and AFS, Aspect, 4-H and YFU are usually quality programs as well and offer scholarships. The best time to go is your junior year. Then you can work your credits easier (your school will give you credit for some of what you do as an exchange student too, but get it in writing) and will have all the fun of your senior year and graduating with your class. For lots of info on being an exchange student, check out http://www.exchangestudentworld.com/ -- a site written by exchange students for exchange students! Good luck -- and PLEASE consider the longer program!

Hi. You should look up about AFS. They have year programs and summer programs too. I was an AFS student back in 2005-2006. AFS is well-known throughout the world. If you live in the US, there should be an AFS chapter in every states even in Alaska. Have fun searching.

If you do got to Italy to study mechanical engineering you only get a study visa. You won't be able to work in Italy. The only way you get a job is someone offer you a job. He/She would have to advertise the job in all 27 EU countries before employing someone from outside the EU. Too much paper work and red tape employing someone from outside the EU.
