Everyone wants to live in another country at least once in their life. A place where you can find a good job and a nice house to live in.
But living abroad is not easy. However, there is a country that offers all these opportunities.
We’re talking about a village in Italy where you can get Rs 26 lakh and a place to live if you want to start a business.
This might sound like a dream, but it’s true! If you’re thinking about going abroad, this could be the chance you’ve been waiting for.
Money for business in an Italian village
Imagine someone giving you money to start a business abroad – it doesn’t get much better than that. Well, there’s a village in Italy, in the beautiful southern region of Calabria, that is offering money to people for starting a business.
You’ll be given Rs 26.48 lakh in Indian rupees if you choose to stay and start a business here.
A special village offer
Calabria has come up with a unique offer for business people to experience life as a village owner for three years.
They want to increase the population of these inactive Italian settlements and provide a better life for the people.
The scheme is called ‘Active Residency Income,’ and it promises to give up to £26,000 (Rs 26.48 lakh) over three years to those who qualify.
The offer is available for people below 40 years of age, and if your application is accepted, you’ll need to move within 90 days. Once you’ve relocated, you’ll need to work hard to start your business.
What businesses are allowed?
The businesses can include restaurants, shops, bed and breakfasts, or hotels – some of the most popular and in-demand businesses.
The main goal is to boost the local economy.
The scheme aims to encourage young people to contribute to the local economy by working and providing financial incentives.
In return, you’ll receive a monthly salary.
About Calabria
Calabria, often referred to as the “toe” of Italy, is known for its beautiful coastlines and hills.
The population here has declined significantly in recent years, leading to concerns among locals.
To address this issue, the scheme has been launched in villages such as Civita, Samo
and Precacor, Aeta, Bova, Kaikuri, Albidona, and Santa Severina, where people are being paid to settle down.
