The Italian government’s policy update regarding biometric data collection for certain long-term visas is now in effect.
Key Points:
Additional Information: In addition, as part of the Decree Law No. 145/2024, the new requirement for employer confirmation before visa issuance also went into effect Jan. 9. This change requires employers to confirm their effective interest regarding a work permit within seven days of being notified that a worker’s visa application has been examined before the visa is issued.
Now, once a work permit is approved, the Visa Information System will transmit a request to the employer via certified email for confirmation of their interest in the work permit. If confirmation is not received within seven days, the authorization is revoked.
