Information only: no verified partner yet. No verified vacancies in this country yet. A country page here means we can explain that country's legal route accurately.

How the quota decree works
Italy sets each year how many workers from outside the EU may enter for employment. That limit is published in a decree known as the decreto flussi. The 2026-2028 decree provides for 497,550 entries in total, of which 164,850 fall in 2026. The total is divided roughly between 230,550 non-seasonal and 267,000 seasonal places in agriculture and tourism.
The latest decree widens the sectors covered beyond traditional agriculture and tourism to include construction, logistics, hospitality, healthcare and services. A separate scheme for caregivers sits outside the quota, for up to 10,000 people per year.
One important distinction: the European Commission's EU Immigration Portal states that highly-qualified workers fall outside the quota system. Italy therefore has two different routes, and your role determines which one applies to you.
The click day, and why preparation decides everything
Quota places are allocated in the order applications are submitted, on specific days when the electronic system opens. In Italy this is known as the click day. Places can be exhausted very quickly, so an employer whose paperwork is not ready at the moment the system opens can lose the entire year.
The practical consequence for a candidate is that the Italian route is governed by dates, not by continuous availability. If someone tells you they can send you to Italy through the quota route at any time, that does not match how the system works.
The employer submits the application to the One-Stop-Shop for Immigration (Sportello Unico per l'Immigrazione). After approval you apply for the visa, and after arrival you must submit the residence permit application within a short set deadline.
What we do not have yet
We have no verified employer or agency in Italy, and there are no vacancies on this page. The Italian quota system requires a local partner able to file at exactly the right moment, and we have not yet verified such a partner.
For Italian employers and agencies: if you need a reliable flow of candidates from Armenia for the next decree cycle, preparation has to start well before the opening day. Send a workforce request and we will discuss timing.

Questions about this country
What does click day mean?
It is the day Italy's electronic system opens for work-permit applications under the quota. Applications are processed in the order they arrive and places can run out very quickly. It means the employer's readiness is decisive, and that departure for Italy cannot be planned for an arbitrary date.
Italy's quota is large, so is it easy to get in?
No. A large quota means many places, but also heavy competition from around the world and strict application deadlines. The existence of a quota guarantees neither a job nor a visa. The employer decides on hiring and the Italian authorities decide on entry.
Armenian Workers is a private company. It is not part of any government, embassy or immigration authority and cannot influence permit or visa decisions. Last reviewed: 6 September 2026. Requirements may change. Always check the official source linked on the page.
