Every year we hear about the Flows Decree, an act issued by the government that allows thousands of skilled workers to enter Italy after a series of meetings between the Prime Minister, the ministers concerned, and the relevant parliamentary committees. The measure defines maximum quotas for the entry of foreign nationals and refers to the three-year policy document based on immigration policy in the country.

The Residence Permit for family reasons must be requested within eight working days from the date of entry into Italy - which has taken place with a Visa for family reunification - at the Police Headquarters of reference, by sending the appropriate kit from the authorized post offices, containing all of the documents required by law and the application form for the issue of the Residence Permit.

Among the various types of Residence Permits provided for by the Italian legal system, there is the Residence Permit for Special Protection, which is issued to asylum seekers who do not qualify for international protection but who, according to the Territorial Commission, are at risk of persecution and torture if returned to their country of origin.
