La proceduraProcedure

For the cross-border free provision of services, health professionals are required to be legally established in the Member State where they wish to pursue their profession. If Italy is the host Member State, the health professional gives prior notice to the Italian Ministry of Health by means of an annual declaration, that can be renewed beforehand if objective changes occur.If all the provisions under the relevant legislation are complied with, The Italian Ministry of Health, at the end of the assessment procedure, notifies the competent professional Association about the positive or negative decision concerning the professional’s application.

Chi può richiederloWho can apply?

EU citizens with a health professional qualification, who wish to move to Italy for the first time to pursue their professional activities on a temporary and occasional basis, will previously apply to the Italian Ministry of Health, providing prior declaration concerning their intended transfer, together with all the necessary documents. Within one month from reception of this declaration, the Italian Ministry of Health gives notice of the results of the assessment process.  If significant training gaps in the professional qualification of the applicant are highlighted in comparison with the professional training required in Italy, under Italian laws, compensatory measures will be applied.
