Frequently Asked Questions about the Decreto Flussi

It provides quotas for various types of work, such as employed work, seasonal work, and other entries stipulated by regulations.
The availability of positions and requirements can change each year.
The application is typically submitted by an employer for a person residing abroad (countries that have signed cooperation agreements on migration with Italy). Conversions of permits already held in Italy are only allowed in cases provided by regulations. These are countries that have signed cooperation agreements on migration with Italy.
The Decreto Flussi may provide for entry for various work categories, including:
- Seasonal employed work: Agriculture and tourism-hospitality.
- Family and domestic assistance: Caregivers and domestic workers for supporting individuals or families.
- Self-employment: Entrepreneurs, freelancers, artisans, or members of cooperatives or specific corporate positions, with stringent economic and authorization requirements.
