Japa: Italy relaxes work visa process for foreign workers
By Francesca Hangeior.
Italy is set to streamline the process for foreigners seeking temporary work visas in response to growing labor market demands.
Plans are underway to increase the number of “Click Days”—the designated days when applications are accepted—making it easier for foreign workers to obtain visas, according to TravelBiz.
This change aims to address the country’s urgent need for skilled workers, as the current system has been insufficient in filling critical gaps in the labor market.
The proposal includes a shift away from the rigid quota and deadline-based approach, instead focusing on a more flexible system that aligns with Italy’s actual labor needs.
Maria Grazia Gabrielli, Secretary of the General Confederation of Italian Workers (Cgil), highlighted the limitations of the current “Click Day” system and called for reforms that reflect the real workforce demands in Italy.
Despite these efforts to ease the visa process, the government has ruled out any changes to the controversial Bossi-Fini Law, which governs Italy’s immigration policies.
This law mandates that non-EU nationals secure a job offer before arriving in the country and imposes strict requirements for residence permits.
It also grants authorities increased powers to deport undocumented migrants and penalizes employers who hire them.
Undersecretary Alfredo Mantovano revealed that the government is preparing to present a decree law outlining these changes to the Council of Ministers soon.
While the proposed reforms aim to improve access to the Italian labor market for foreign workers, the key provisions of the Bossi-Fini Law will remain intact.
