Work Permits for Highly-Skilled Workers

​Non-EU nationals must apply for an Italian work visa from the Italian consular authority in their country of residence before arriving in Italy. Additionally, non-EU nationals must secure a valid work permit before entering Italy or starting employment and prove they are highly-skilled workers with a confirmed job offer.

​

We specialize in providing comprehensive legal services and assistance to nationals from non-EU countries seeking to apply for Italian work permits. Our focus is on assisting highly-skilled workers in navigating the complexities of the application process, ensuring a smooth and successful journey to securing employment in Italy. 

​

At EMIT Law, we guide clients throughout the entire process, from the preliminary work to the final collection of the work permit.

Italy offers several types of work permits for highly-skilled workers. These permits are designed to attract foreign talent in specialized fields such as science, technology, engineering, medicine, and management. Below are the common work permit options for high-skilled professionals:

EU (European Union) Blue Card

The EU Blue Card allows highly-skilled workers from non-EU countries to live and work in an EU country, provided they are highly-skilled. In Italy, the EU Blue Card is issued for a period of two years if the employment contract is a permanent one.

EU Intra-Company Transfer (ICT) Work Permit

EU Intra-company Transfer Work Permit is for non-EU employees of multinational companies who are being transferred to an Italian branch or facility. This work permit is typically for highly-skilled managers, specialists, and employed interns. 

Italian Work Permit Annual Quota System

To work in Italy, non-EU citizens are required to secure a visa and work authorization. The immigration process for employment in Italy operates under an annual quota system established by a decree known as the “decreto-flussi.”
