US EditionItaly to Issue Half Million Non-EU Work Visas over Next Three Years
ITALY, JUN 30 – Italy plans to issue 497,550 work permits for non-EU migrants from 2026 to 2028 to address labor shortages amid a declining population, officials said.
- Italy's Cabinet approved a decree on Monday to issue up to 497,550 work permits for non-EU migrants from 2026 to 2028, addressing labor shortages.
- Italy's aging population and low birthrate, with 281,000 more deaths than births in 2024, drive the push for increased legal workforce expansion.
- The cabinet's breakdown shows 230,550 permits for non-seasonal/self-employment and 267,000 for seasonal work, based on social partners' input and permit applications.
- Industry leaders and Coldiretti praised Italy's plan, which builds on 450,000 visas issued between 2023-2025, to address labor shortages in key sectors.
- Beyond the recent decree, Italy’s broader strategy aims to attract 10 million immigrants by 2050 while tightening irregular migration controls, according to the Osservatorio Conti Pubblici.
