60.000 new entries will be allowed. Much less than market requires. The employer agrees to stipulate the welknown “residence contract”, which is fundamental to the residence permit release.
The application requires accomodation and travelling expenses in case regularization is denied. The following helps those interested in employing foreign citizens.

The demand to employ a worker from abroad can be given in both by Italian employers and by foreign employers regularly living in Italy at Direzione Provinciale del Lavoro (D.P.L.- Local Labour Department).

Direzione Provinciale del Lavoro (local labour department) must :
– Verify the existence of requisites and of work provided for by law

Employers must:
– guarantee the employee pay-pockets, contributions and insurance
– guarantee accomodation,
– the contract and documents stating the employer’s income, the certificate stating the firm enrolment in camera di commercio boards (art 30, paragraphs 2 e 3, Regolamento di attuazione).

D.P.L. proceedings, when everything is verified, release a nulla osta, an authorization which the worker is to use within six months from the release. Once the ok is given, the employer will have to take a copy of it to the local police headquarters in order to obtain the other paper authorizing the worker’s entry, a copy of the employer Id and of the worker’s passport must be given as well.

Permission to entry will be given within 20 days the authorization to work is given, after all controls on the worker and on the employer, who needs not to be charged upon criminal code art. 380/381 specifically referring to clandestine immigration (consolidated act art. 12) and to conceiled work.
The employer will then give to the work the authorizations and the contract in order to let him/her take them to the Italian consular delegation in his/her country of origin and obtain the release of the visa.
Once reached Italy, the employee must ask Police Headquarters for the release of residence permit within 8 days the arrival.
