New work permit application forms
Through a note published on the Ministry of Interior’s Service Portal, the authorities have communicated instructions for completing work permit applications for the aforementioned categories.
Specifically, applicants must use the “A-BIS fuori quota” form within the “Compila domande” section on the portal.
In these cases, employers shall submit the work permit request through duly registered employment agencies. Alternatively, employers may contact employer associations that are signatories to the National Collective Labor Agreement for the domestic sector. These agencies or associations submit the application on behalf of the employer. They do so electronically, via the dedicated Ministry of the Interior portal.
Finally, the work permit request may be submitted in the name of the spouse, a relative or an in-law of the person receiving assistance. For more information, we invite you to check our dedicate article.
