Initially, most Italy work visas are issued to the primary applicant only. However, once you have a valid residence permit in Italy, you may apply for family reunification (dependent visa).
What you need:
- Valid long-stay work visa and residence permit
- Proof of income and accommodation in Italy
- Relationship documents (translated)
- Application through local immigration office (Sportello Unico)
Processing for family visas can take 2–3 months.
