To obtain an Italian work permit visa as a Bangladeshi citizen, you will need to follow specific procedures based on Italy’s immigration laws. The process involves several steps, including obtaining a job offer from an Italian employer, securing a work permit, and applying for a visa. Below is a step-by-step guide:



1. Get a Job Offer from an Italian Employer

  • You need to have a confirmed job offer from an Italian employer before you can start the visa process.
  • The employer must demonstrate that they could not find a suitable candidate for the position within the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA).
  • The job offer must be full-time and meet Italian labor regulations.


2. Employer Applies for Work Permit (Nulla Osta)

  • Once the employer agrees to hire you, they must apply for a Nulla Osta (authorization to work) at the Italian Immigration Office (Sportello Unico per l’Immigrazione) in Italy.
  • This application must be done within the framework of Italy’s annual immigration quotas (decreto flussi), meaning only a certain number of work permits are issued each year.
  • Required documents from the employer include:
    • Employment contract
    • Proof of financial stability of the company
    • Information about the work position
    • Details about your accommodation in Italy (if applicable)

Once approved, the Nulla Osta will be sent to the Italian consulate in Bangladesh, and the employer will receive a confirmation.


3. Apply for a Work Visa

  • After the Nulla Osta is approved, you need to apply for a National Long-Stay Work Visa (Type D) at the Italian Embassy or Consulate in Bangladesh.
  • Required documents for visa application:
    • Visa application form (filled out and signed)
    • Valid passport (with at least two blank pages and validity extending at least three months beyond the visa period)
    • Passport-size photos (two recent photos as per visa standards)
    • Original Nulla Osta (work permit authorization)
    • Employment contract (or proof of job offer)
    • Proof of accommodation in Italy
    • Proof of financial means to support yourself (if required)
    • Travel insurance that covers medical emergencies in the Schengen Area
    • Police clearance certificate or background check
    • Visa fee payment receipt

You will be required to attend a visa interview at the Italian consulate, where you may be asked questions about your job and your future in Italy.


4. Wait for Visa Processing

  • Visa processing times vary but typically take 4 to 6 weeks. Ensure that you apply well in advance before your intended travel date.
  • If approved, your visa will be stamped in your passport.


5. Travel to Italy

  • Once your visa is issued, you can travel to Italy.
  • Upon arrival, you must apply for a Residence Permit (Permesso di Soggiorno) within 8 days at your local immigration office (Questura). This is necessary for you to legally live and work in Italy.


6. Apply for Residence Permit (Permesso di Soggiorno)

  • Go to the local post office or Questura with:
    • A copy of your visa and passport
    • 4 passport-size photos
    • Proof of employment and accommodation
    • Proof of health insurance
    • Nulla Osta copy and work contract

You will receive a receipt after submitting the application, which acts as a temporary residence permit until the final document is issued.


7. Attend an Interview or Fingerprinting

  • After submitting your residence permit application, you may be asked to attend an appointment at the immigration office for fingerprinting and/or an interview.


8. Receive Your Residence Permit

  • Once processed, you will receive your Permesso di Soggiorno, allowing you to stay and work in Italy legally for the duration of your employment.


Important Notes:

  • The Italian government issues work permits based on annual immigration quotas, which can delay the process if the quota is full for the year.
  • Work permits are issued for a specific employer and job, so changing jobs in Italy will require a new application.
  • Make sure to renew your residence permit before it expires if you plan to continue working in Italy.

Following these steps carefully is crucial to avoid delays or rejections.
