How to find employment in Italy for Belarusians, rules for safe departure and stay in the country.
In Italy, work permits for foreigners (Nulla Osta) are issued within the annual quotas (quote d’ingresso). A quota is the maximum number of foreigners (non-EU citizens) who can enter Italy to work in Italy. Only highly qualified workers, such as university faculty, can enter without considering the quota.
There are three main stages (for non-EU citizens) for official employment in Italy:
- Obtaining a work permit (Nulla Osta per lavoro subordinato);
- Obtaining a work visa D;
- Obtaining a residence permit in Italy.
After the publication of quotas for the upcoming year for foreigners, the employer in Italy submits a request to the Single Immigration Office (Sportello Unico per l’Immigrazione) at the Prefecture at the place of future work for the issuance of Nulla Osta for a specific foreign worker. After receiving the request, the Single Immigration Office requests data about the employer from the Labor Department of the given province, as well as the Questura (police) to determine if there are no obstacles to employment in Italy.
In case of a positive decision, the Work Permit (Nulla Osta per lavoro subordinato):
- is either issued to the employer;
- or sent to the Consulate of the country where the foreign worker will receive a work visa.
The work permit Nulla Osta is valid for 180 days, during which the foreigner must obtain a work visa (type D «per lavoro subordinato»)
The list of documents for visa type D «per lavoro subordinato» for employment and self-employment can be found on the website of the Italian Visa Center https://ambminsk.esteri.it/Ambasciata_Minsk/ru/in_linea_con_utente/modulistica
