Summary:
On October 16, the Italian Council of Ministers definitively approved a new decree introducing rules for the entrance and stay of highly qualified foreign citizens in Italy. The new regulations, voted on by both the Chamber and Senate with favorable opinions, aim to:
Expand the scope of highly qualified foreign workers who can apply for the EU Blue Card
Modify the objective and subjective requirements for access
Streamline the procedure for employers to request work permits
Reinforce employment and re-employment opportunities, including allowing Blue Card holders to work autonomously or search for new employment
Ensure greater flexibility in short-term and long-term mobility
Update procedures for family reunification
* Facilitate entry and stay in Italy for professionals holding a Blue Card issued by another EU member state
The new regulations await publication in the Italian Official Gazette to come into effect.
