Complete document checklist for your application
All foreign documents must be officially translated and legalized if required by the Consulate.
With Future Italian, obtaining the employment work visa will be simple and stress-free. We handle every bureaucratic aspect for you.
From start to finish: here's everything that happens step by step
The Italian employer submits the work authorization request to the Immigration Office (30-60 working days).
Once the work authorization is obtained, you book an appointment at the Italian Consulate in your country to submit the visa application.
You submit all required documents and wait for visa issuance (1-2 months if applying for visa from abroad).
Once in Italy, you have 8 days to go to the Immigration Office to sign the stay contract.
After signing the contract, you submit the residence permit application for subordinate work (at Post Offices or with paper kit). Work can legally begin only after the permit is issued or the application receipt is obtained.
