Before the employers can submit the applications to regularise their workers, they must pay the application fee of 1000 Euros for each worker to be regularised.

This amount must be paid by the employer, not the worker, so if your employer forces you to pay it, be informed that they are doing the wrong thing.

The Inter-Ministerial Decree for regularization of illegal immigrant workers in Italy has been published in the Official Gazette.

The Decree outlines the requirements and application procedures.

The following are key issues anyone planning to apply for regularisation must know.

Before submitting the application for regularisation, the employer will be required to pay 1,000 Euros for each illegal immigrant worker hired.

In order to be regularised, an illegal immigrant worker must have been in Italy by 31st December 2011.
