Italy's Decreto Flussi is an annual decree that sets quotas for non-EU workers, including Bangladeshi nationals, to enter Italy for seasonal and non-seasonal employment. Understanding how this specific quota system works is essential before attempting to apply.

What Is the Decreto Flussi?

The Decreto Flussi is issued by the Italian government, typically opening application windows at specific times of year with a fixed number of work permit slots (quotas) allocated across different sectors and, in some years, specific countries including Bangladesh.

Who Can Apply Under This Programme

Applicants generally need a confirmed job offer from an Italian employer who is prepared to sponsor the work permit application within the quota window, in sectors such as agriculture, tourism, construction, and domestic work.

Documents Typically Required

• Valid passport with sufficient remaining validity
• Signed employment contract from the Italian employer
• Proof of accommodation arrangements in Italy
• Police clearance certificate
• Medical fitness certificate

Timing Is Critical

Decreto Flussi applications must be submitted within the specific window the Italian government opens each year, and quota slots are often filled quickly once the window opens. Missing this window means waiting for the next decree cycle.

Why Fake Decreto Flussi Offers Are a Real Risk

Because demand for these limited quota slots is extremely high, fraudulent intermediaries sometimes sell fake "guaranteed" Decreto Flussi placements. A genuine offer will always be tied to a real, verifiable Italian employer and the official government quota system — never guaranteed by a middleman for a fee.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does the Decreto Flussi quota open each year?
Timing is set by the Italian government annually and can vary from year to year. We monitor announcements and can advise you on current timing.

Can I apply for Decreto Flussi without an employer already lined up?
Generally, no — a confirmed sponsoring employer is a core requirement of the programme.
