The new portal for the Italian work permit applications is finally online.
This portal was closed from April 22 until May 15. The new immigration system has now come back on-line, however, it is not yet fully functional, there are still many technical issues and problems which need to be resolved on the new platform.
Unfortunately, there are delays and difficulties, the Ministry is working on the issues although most of the immigration offices and in many major cities such as Milan, Rome, Torino, Florence have cancelled all appointments until further notice as the system is currently blocked, with no estimate when the problems could be resolved and when the system will be fully operating again.
Also, the procedure for filing work permit applications has changed and in order to file a work permit application on-line, the system requests to upload the main mandatory documents before filing however, we are still waiting on further clarification from the government on the new procedures.
Based on this, we expect delays for any new work permit applications and delays in completing the necessary immigration steps for those workers who have already entered Italy or plan to enter Italy.
We will keep you updated on any further developments.
