Planned Five-Hour Shutdown of CO, UNIPI and UNIMARE Portals Hits Work-Permit Filing Window
From noon to 17:00 CEST on 29 July the Italian Labour Ministry is taking its CO, UNIPI and UNIMARE immigration portals offline for maintenance. The blackout may delay last-minute work-permit quota filings and posted-worker notifications; queue priority will be based on the timestamp generated after systems restart. Employers should carry printed drafts for travellers arriving during the outage to avoid on-the-spot fines.
