What this means for social workers
Italian Republic does not currently have a route in our index that maps one-to-one to social workers, so the general routes below are the place to start. Social workers work in a regulated field, so immigration approval is only half the journey: in most countries you must also clear a separate professional-registration or licensing step before you can practise in Italian Republic. That recognition process often takes as long as the visa itself, so it is worth starting in parallel.
The most-used skilled route into Italian Republic overall is the EU Blue Card (Carta Blu UE); it is not specific to social workers but is worth understanding as the benchmark route.
