# Intra-Company Transfer to Italy

> Moving an employee within a corporate group to Italy: when the intra-company transfer route applies and when an Employer of Record (EOR) with a Blue Card is simpler.


<section> <span class="eyebrow">Visa routes</span> <h1 id="moving-someone-within-your-group">Moving someone within your group</h1> <p class="lede">Groups with an Italian subsidiary can transfer managers and specialists under a dedicated route. Groups without one cannot: the person needs an Italian employer, and that is where an Employer of Record fits.</p> </section> <section class="grid"> <div class="panel"><h3 id="you-have-an-italian-entity">You have an Italian entity</h3><p>The transfer route for managers, specialists and trainees within a group may apply.

We hire the person in Italy as Employer of Record, usually under the <a href="eu-blue-card-italy.html">Blue Card</a>, and your company keeps directing the work.</p></div> </section> <section class="prose"> <h2 id="questions-to-settle-first">Questions to settle first</h2> <ul> <li>Is the move temporary, with a return planned, or permanent?</li> <li>Will the person stay on your home payroll, or move fully to Italian payroll? Working in Italy for long periods changes where tax and contributions are due.</li> <li>Does the person meet Blue Card conditions (degree or experience, salary, contract of at least six months)?</li> <li>Will family come at the same time?</li> </ul> <p>For a permanent move without an Italian entity, an Italian employment contract through our EOR service is usually the cleaner option: one Italian employer, Italian payroll, and a permit that does not depend on a group structure you do not have.</p> <div class="cta"><a class="btn" href="contact.html">Discuss a transfer</a></div> </section>
