Information current as of 1 October 2026. This is an information guide to Italy’s 2027 Decreto Flussi, not a confirmed job vacancy.
What is it and who may be eligible?
The Decreto Flussi sets annual entry quotas for non-EU citizens living abroad who wish to work in Italy. Eligibility depends on an Italian employer, the job sector, applicable requirements and available quota.
2027 quotas
165,850 entries in total: 76,200 for non-seasonal employment (including 14,000 for family assistance), 89,000 for seasonal work in agriculture and tourism, and 650 for self-employment. These quotas are not jobs already available.
Sectors covered
Seasonal work: agriculture and tourism. Non-seasonal work, subject to the decree and quotas, may cover agriculture, forestry and fishing; food, textile, clothing and footwear, metalworking and other industries; construction; trade; accommodation and food services; tourism services; transport, logistics and warehousing; support services for businesses and people; health, social care and private health services; and other services. Separate quotas also cover family assistance and self-employment.
