"@type": "Question",
"name": "Do I need a job offer to apply for Italy work visa from UAE?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Yes, a valid job offer is mandatory for most types of Italy work visas. Without it, you cannot begin the visa process.
Why it's needed:
Employer applies for your work authorization (Nulla Osta)
Italian government verifies your employment status
Seasonal and salaried permits both require employer sponsorship
The visa is issued only after the job contract is verified
Self-employment visas are the only exception and have different requirements."

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."
