Italian work permit visa applicants will start receiving appointments from today Monday. File submission will start from May 2 as per appointment.

Visa service provider VFS Global informed this information in a message on Sunday.

According to VFS, Italy work visa applicants are requested to patiently check their e-mails for appointment dates and times. Appointment slots will be gradually allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Preference will be given to holders of nulla ostas (work permit visa) more than 5 months old. Applicants' verified nulla osta (work permit visa) will not expire, if the concerned applicant sends the e-mail within six months.

Bangladeshis who want to go to Italy have to make an appointment from VFS Global to submit their passports to the country's embassy in Dhaka after getting permission to go to the country. Recently, Bangladeshi workers have to suffer a lot while taking appointments from VFS Global. Employees complain that VFS appointments are not easily met.
