Application Process:

1. Secure a Job Offer: Obtain an employment contract or job offer from an Italian employer.
2. Employer’s Application for Nulla Osta: The employer applies for a work authorization (Nulla Osta) at the local immigration office in Italy.
3. Visa Application: Once the Nulla Osta is approved, apply for a work visa at the Italian Embassy in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
4. Entry and Residence Permit: Upon visa approval, enter Italy and apply for a residence permit (Permesso di Soggiorno) within eight days.

Recent Developments:

In October 2024, the Italian government announced an additional 10,000 work visas for caregivers of the elderly and disabled, addressing labor shortages in this sector. However, stricter anti-fraud measures have been implemented, particularly for applications from countries like Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
