The Italian Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Labor have established the administrative framework for Decreto Flussi 2026. Stricter pre-verification controls have been instituted to verify employer financial capacity and labor market availability before the opening of the official click day window.
1. Official Quotas and Procedure Workflow
Work permits are distributed across non-seasonal employment, independent contractor visas, and seasonal agricultural and hospitality positions. Applications are submitted electronically via the Ministry of Interior's dedicated portal using Italian electronic IDs (SPID or CIE).
