What happens if my work contract is terminated shortly after arriving in Italy through a Decreto Flussi employer?
If your employer terminates your contract shortly after arrival and does not maintain proper paperwork, finding another sponsor can be very difficult without direct employer backing. If you worked and paid taxes for a few months, you might transition to another employer if you can find one willing to hire you. For employer quotas and click day filings, consult our Decreto Flussi work permit guidance or book a Decreto Flussi consultation. Official Portals: Ministry of Interior ALI Services Portal, Ministry of Labour, and D.Lgs. 286/1998 (Art. 21-22 Flussi).
