Only a small percentage of those who obtain a work visa actually sign a contract, less than 30% according to a recent survey by Ero Straniero.

For the Italian government, the majority of foreigners who entered Italy using these decrees come from a single source: the Bangladesh, where a sale of visas for work purposes linked to criminal networks present in Italy is suspected.
