Italy Security Guard Jobs

Are you physically fit, alert, and looking for a legal job in Europe with monthly income and potential for long-term residency? Then becoming a security guard in Italy could be a perfect choice — especially if you’re from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Pakistan, India, Nepal, or the Philippines.

In 2025, Italy’s private and commercial sectors are hiring foreign security staff to cover increasing demand in hotels, malls, embassies, factories, and residential buildings. With legal pathways like the Decreto Flussi visa, foreign workers can now enter Italy on official contracts.

This guide shares everything you need to know — from salaries and visa sponsorship to job types and application steps.

🔐 Why Italy Needs Foreign Security Guards in 2025
