In a reaffirmation of a previous agreement, Italian Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi announced that Italy will issue 10,500 work visas for skilled Pakistani workers, aimed at promoting 'legal migration.' This decision, initially reached in December 2025, will allow for the employment of Pakistani workers in various sectors, including ship breaking, hospitality, healthcare, and agriculture, with a quota of 3,500 workers each year under seasonal and non-seasonal categories. During a meeting with Pakistan's Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi in Rome, Piantedosi emphasized the importance of expanding lawful migration pathways and praised Pakistan's efforts in combating illegal immigration, stating, 'Italy’s readiness to expand cooperation with Pakistan in areas of shared interest' reflects a commitment to enhancing bilateral relations.
