A: You need to find an immigration attorney based in Italy who is licensed to practice law there as American attorneys cannot advise you accurately on that country’s immigration laws.

A: Good morning! If you’re considering seeking asylum in Italy while living in Sweden with a work permit, there are a few things you need to be aware of. Generally, asylum seekers are expected to apply for asylum in the first safe country they enter within the EU. Since you're already in Sweden, this could affect your eligibility to apply for asylum in Italy under the Dublin Regulation, which governs such matters in the EU.

However, it is possible to move to Italy with your work permit from Sweden, but it won't automatically grant you the right to stay or work there. You would need to check Italy's specific immigration rules to see if you can transfer your work permit or apply for a new visa based on your employment or another purpose.

If you're set on seeking asylum, you may want to explore legal advice or assistance from migration authorities or organizations that can help you understand your rights and the best course of action. Keep in mind that moving and starting a new asylum process might involve significant challenges.
