What is meant by intra-company transfer?

The intra-company transfer is “the temporary posting of a foreign national […] from an undertaking established in a third country, to which the foreign national is linked by an employment relationship lasting at least three months, to a host entity established in Italy, belonging to the same undertaking or to an undertaking belonging to the same group of undertakings within the meaning of Article 2359 of the Civil Code.

Intra-corporate transfer includes cases of mobility of foreign workers between host entities established in different Member States”
(Article 27-quinquies, paragraph of the Immigration Act).

The Italian immigration law establishes the cases of intra-company transfer, i.e. the temporary posting to Italy of foreign workers employed by a company established in another country for periods of more than three months, to a branch or representation of the same company or group of companies to which the posting company belongs.

This legislation is aimed at certain categories of workers:

Executives

It refers to workers who carry out tasks characterized by high professionalism, decision-making autonomy and responsibility towards the entire company activity or an autonomous branch of the company. They must have been employed by the posting party for no less than 3 uninterrupted months; The transfer, including extensions, cannot be longer than 3 years and at the end of the transfer it is not possible to hire directly. No less than three months may elapse between transfers;

Qualified personnel

It refers to workers who possess specialized knowledge essential to the host entity’s field of activity, techniques, or management. Their skills should not be assessed on the basis of educational qualifications, which are not required, but on the basis of their possible high qualification, adequate professional experience or membership of a professional register; For regulated professions, recognition of professional qualifications is required. The posted worker must have had an existing employment relationship with the posting worker for no less than 3 uninterrupted months. The transfer, including any extensions, cannot exceed 3 years and at the end of the transfer it is not possible to hire directly. No less than three months can elapse between transfers.

Trainees

Workers with a university degree, transferred (and paid during the transfer) to a host company for career development or the acquisition of business techniques or methods;

The Procedure

The host company must submit the application for the Nulla Osta for intra-company secondment electronically to the Single Desk for Immigration on the website of the Ministry of the Interior.

The request must attach:

Documents certifying the corporate link;
An employment relationship lasting at least three uninterrupted months prior to the intra-company transfer between the employee and the same company abroad;
The duration of the transfer (maximum three years for managers and skilled workers and a maximum of one year for trainees);
The address of the host entity in Italy where the worker will carry out the work;
The professional qualifications of the foreign worker, whether they belong to the professional register;
The job task of the worker to be posted;
Remuneration, commitment to comply with social security and welfare contribution obligations, working conditions provided for by the regulatory provisions of the place where the host entity is based;
The details of the foreigner’s valid passport or equivalent document;
For trainees, the individual training plan containing the duration, training objectives and conditions under which the training will be carried out;

After verifying that the documentation is correct and complete, and after obtaining approval from the National Labour Inspectorate and the Police Headquarters, the Desk issues the Nulla Osta or informs that the request has been rejected within 45 days of submission.

After obtaining the Nulla Osta from the Sportello Unico per l’Immigrazione, the foreigner must declare his/her presence within 8 working days of arrival in Italy to apply for the ICT residence permit. The maximum duration of the intra-company transfer is three years for managers and skilled workers and one year for trainees. In addition, it is necessary that at least three months elapse between the end of the temporary posting and a new request for entry into Italy for the same reason and for the same foreigner.

Holders of the ICT residence permit are granted the right to family reunification, regardless of the duration of the permit, under the conditions set out in Article 29 of the Consolidated Immigration Act. Family members will be issued a residence permit for family reasons, for the same duration as the applicant’s ICT permit.
