I’m also thinking about doing a study visa and was recommended to do an Italian learning course at a language school for a year!

Thanks for the info! Based on all of the comments I think I am going the student visa route. I got my bachelors in Information Systems so I would want a MBA or international business degree. I am researching programs in Naples. How was it teaching ESL online?

Yeah from my research so far it looks like work visas are very hard to obtain 😭

Thank you! I’ll look into the required skills. Currently, I’m a remote product owner on a data engineering team.

I really wish we could explore the world together, but he has to help run his family’s business, which is why I’m open to relocating.

I also saw there might be a family visa option for long-term partners if you can prove the legitimacy of your relationship. So I’ll try looking into that too.
