Why applications on this route get refused
Job wasn't advertised as required
Identità asks for documented proof that the position was advertised on the required portals or local media for the minimum period before a non-EU worker can be offered the job.
How to avoid it: Advertise the role on Jobsplus and EURES (or locally, for KEI/SEI/Blue Card/Skilled Occupation List roles) for the full required period, and keep the proof to submit with the application.
Health insurance below the required cover
A policy that doesn't cover at least €100,000 of medical treatment doesn't meet the Single Permit's insurance requirement.
How to avoid it: Check your policy's coverage limit against the €100,000 minimum before you apply.
