Rome – February 18, 2026. A huge visa window for agriculture and fruit picking jobs opens this Friday. You must act now to move to Italy this year on a Work Visa.
The Ministero dell’Interno (Ministry of Interior) says speed is the only way to win. Yesterday on Feb 17th, the portal for construction jobs closed in just 15 minutes. Now, the “Golden Window” for farm workers starts on February 20, 2026.
The Italy Visa Status Today Under Decreto Flussi 2026
| Job Category | Current Status | Deadline |
| Construction | Closed | Ended in 15 minutes. |
| Family Care | Open Now | Filling fast today! |
| Farms & Fruit Picking | Starts Friday | Feb 20 at 9:00 AM |
Why Friday is Your Best Shot
The Decreto Flussi portal opens in 48 hours for seasonal work. This includes jobs in Italian fields, orchards and farms.
This category has the most spots for Pakistani applicants.
You cannot apply for this visa yourself. Your employer in Italy must click “Send” the moment the portal opens. They use a digital ID called SPID. If they are late by 30 seconds, you will lose your chance.
Expert Alert: Official Portal Link
The ALI Portal has a new security step for 2026. Your employer must log in to https://portaleservizi.dlci.interno.it today to test their access. Do not wait until Friday morning to check the SPID login.
Avoid “Visa Agent” Scams
Many agents in Pakistan, India & UAE promise “guaranteed” farm visas. This is a lie. Only a registered employer in Italy can submit your application form. The “Click Day” is a race of speed. No agent can “buy” a spot in the queue.
