New agreement between Italy and Thailand: 30,000 workers arriving per year
The Italian government has recently announced an important bilateral agreement with Thailand to facilitate the entry of foreign workers into our country. According to the plan, Italy will welcome approximately 30,000 Thai workers each year to meet the growing needs of the national labor market.
This initiative aims to bridge the labor shortage in several key sectors of the Italian economy. Local companies, in fact, have long reported difficulty in finding qualified personnel, particularly in the agriculture, construction, and personal care sectors.
The program provides for simplified procedures for the issuance of visas and for the integration of workers into the Italian social fabric. The authorities have emphasized that the goal is to ensure regular, safe migration based on the actual productive needs of Italian businesses.
The agreement represents a significant step in diplomatic and economic relations between Rome and Bangkok. As the Italian government works on defining the operational details, the first groups of workers are expected to arrive in the coming months to begin their professional journey in Italy.
