Understand this route
Temporary protection carries the right to both employed and self-employed work, seasonal included, from the moment the receipt is issued. No separate work authorisation is needed; the receipt or the permit is enough for the employer.
What to check
- That you hold the receipt or the permit: that is all an employer needs.
- That you are hired on the books: a written contract and registration by the employer.
- No separate work authorisation is needed. An employer who asks for one is mistaken.
Caveat
Two different dates. At EU level temporary protection runs to 4 March 2028 (Council Decision (EU) 2026/1912). Italian instruments, as at 26 September 2026, are still tied to 4 March 2027, and we found no Italian implementing act for 2028. Check your questura and the Ministry of the Interior before acting.
