Two guides in French and Italian
designed to help legal migrants entering Italy from Tunisia and
Morocco were made public Wednesday.
The guides, created for the interior ministry, focused on
immigration to Italy from Tunisia and Morocco.
The guides aim to help to curb undocumented migration from
the two countries and to offer migrants the tools they need for
"safer and less costly journeys than those offered by human
traffickers".
In addition to a brief history of migration, the guides
contain information on procedures for visas, stay permits, job
access, starting businesses, and family reunification.
"Most of the irregular (migrant flows) consist of people
who, after entering the country legally, become irregular
following the expiring of their visas or stay permits," said
Antonio Ricci, project manager for the research organization
that created guides.
The goal is to help migrants avoid that by explaining in
their language how to follow Italian legal processes.
