Less then a year away!

6 years ago
Hi guys, I am reaching out again as I am really struggling on how to get planning for my move. I am a 32 year old from Chicago planning on moving to Rome with my boyfriend in May. (only 10 months away).
I was born and raised in Poland but got my American citizenship about 2 years ago. I have a valid Polish and American passport. My boyfriend on the other hand, only has U.S. citzenship. His great-grandparents immigrated here from Sicily. (not sure if this helps his case).

Anyway, from my understanding. I can legally move to Italy without a visa or sponsorship using my Polish passport. How does my boyfriend go about starting his process to be able to go and live/work there legally?

Additionally, we both plan on moving there without having jobs there. We are bringing our savings (approx. $15,000 USD.) Was hoping to maybe start off with an airbnb situation until we can figure out where to rent etc. When we get there the goal is to pick up a job in a bar/restaurant or even better for a travel company or tour company. My boyfriend and I both have hospitality and travel/tourism backgrounds.

This is our dream and we want to make it happen despite any challenges. Guys, any info or direction would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance
