Move to Italy on a real Italian work contract

An Italian work visa needs an employer in Italy. If the company that wants you has no Italian entity, we become your legal employer: we sponsor the permit, sign your Italian contract and run your payroll, while you keep working for the company that chose you.

€250 per employee per month, all inclusive, invoiced in EUR or USD at the EUR reference rate with no FX spread. Visa and permit handling €2,500 per case (pricing).

Who this is for

Why an Employer of Record (EOR) solves the sponsor problem

SponsorThe work authorisation (nulla osta) is requested by an employer in Italy at the Sportello Unico per l'Immigrazione. A foreign company with no Italian presence cannot easily file it. As Employer of Record we file it as your employer.
30 daysFor the EU Blue Card, the immigration desk must issue the nulla osta, or a refusal, within 30 days of the application (D.Lgs. 286/1998, art. 27-quater, par. 6).
FamilyA Blue Card holder can apply for family reunification whatever the length of the permit (art. 27-quater, par. 16).
ContractYour contract is a normal Italian employment contract under a national collective agreement (CCNL), with INPS pension, public health care, 13th month and TFR severance.

Common questions

Can my current employer abroad keep me after I move?

Yes. We employ you in Italy and invoice your employer monthly. You keep your team, your manager and your work. See the page for your employer.

Do I need a job offer before applying?

For a work permit, yes: the nulla osta is tied to a specific employer, role and salary. We provide the Italian employer; the job and the salary come from the company you work for.

How long does it take?

The Blue Card nulla osta has a 30-day legal deadline. Consular appointments and arrival formalities add time that varies by country. [typical end-to-end timelines from our own cases]
