New agreement between Italy and Thailand: 30,000 workers per year expected
The Italian government has initiated a series of important talks with Thai authorities to manage labor-related migration flows. The main objective is to facilitate the entry into Italy of approximately 30,000 Thai workers each year, thereby responding to the growing demand for labor in various productive sectors of the country.
The proposal was discussed during an official meeting between the Thai Minister of Labor, Julapun Amornvivat, and the Italian Minister of Labor and Social Policies. This plan aims to create a legal and secure channel for the integration of foreign workers, while simultaneously ensuring compliance with the regulations in force in the Italian labor market.
The initiative stems from the need to fill staff shortages in specific areas of the Italian economy. Through this collaboration, the government intends not only to support companies that need new resources but also to promote regular and organized migration between the two countries.
In the coming months, representatives from the two ministries will continue to work on the technical details of the agreement. Selection criteria, visa procedures, and methods for integrating workers will be defined, with the goal of making the process efficient and transparent for all parties involved.
