All of the workers, who live in Italy and have a regular residence permit have the right to invite in the Country of their family members who still live abroad.

This procedure allows you to workers and their families who reside in the country of origin to enter Italy at the same time. The only difference is that the workers do it with a work visa, while the family is guaranteed a visa family.
Family cohesion
Family members can enter Italy with a visa in the short term (unless they are nationals of countries for which a visa is not required) and, in some cases, after having reported their presence in Italy to local Police (the“Declaration of Presence” to be done in eight days from the arrival in Italy only if it is entered via another country of the Schengen area)can apply for a change of status and request permission of the family, without going through the visa application family.
Family members of an EU citizen
The family members of a citizen of the European Union have the right to obtain a special residence permit called “residence Card for Family member of EU Citizen”, which has a longer life than the ordinary permit (5 years), without the need to apply for a visa family. In reality, they have the right to enter Italy with a visa short term and should apply for “residence Card”. In the case of extension, the Police may issue a residence permit with an unlimited validity. Recently, the right to obtain the “residence Card” has also been extended to partners of gay citizens of the EU, provided they contract marriage in a country that recognizes the unions of gay.
Once the residence Permit of the family was released, the dependants are entitled to carry out any work (autonomous or subordinate) without being required to convert their permit into a residence permit for work.
