Overview
Italy plans almost 500,000 work visas for non-Europeans by 2028 The Italian government has announced plans to issue almost 500,000 new work visas for non-EU citizens between 2026 and 2028, as it seeks to address labor shortages.

The immigration process requires strategy, knowledge and compliance with the rules. An immigration lawyer can assist you at every stage of the process. Link with
