Relief for undocumented immigrants in Italy, Bangladeshis may also benefit
Italy's Constitutional Court has given an important ruling for undocumented immigrants living in the country. Under this new ruling, applications for the 2020 Emergenza (Sanatoria) program cannot be automatically rejected solely due to an administrative signal in the Schengen Information System (SIS) for illegal entry or visa expiry.

The court stated in its ruling that the provision for automatic rejection of applications is not consistent with the principles of equality and fair treatment under the Italian constitution. Henceforth, each applicant's file must be evaluated individually and in detail.

According to the ruling, no application can be rejected solely on the basis of an administrative signal in the SIS. The relevant authorities must make a decision considering the applicant's personal circumstances, employment, the reality of their stay in Italy, and public safety, among other factors.

As a result of this ruling, many immigrants, including Bangladeshis living in Italy, whose Sanatoria applications were stalled or rejected solely due to illegal entry or visa expiry, may benefit.

However, the court clarified that this ruling will not apply to individuals considered guilty of serious crimes, terrorism, drug trafficking, or threats to public safety. In such cases, measures can be taken according to previous laws.

Immigration experts advise that those whose Sanatoria applications are still pending or were previously rejected for the same reason may consider seeking advice from an experienced immigration lawyer to review their applications for a possible reassessment.
