Is the EU Blue Card subject to the Decreto Flussi quotas?

One of the biggest advantages of the EU Blue Card is that it sits outside the quota system. While most non-EU workers must compete for limited places on the Decreto Flussi click day, the Blue Card is reserved for highly qualified workers and is not capped by those annual numbers.

This means a qualifying professional with the right job offer can pursue the Blue Card at any time of year, without waiting for a quota window. For skilled workers who would otherwise be blocked by exhausted quotas, the Blue Card is often the most practical route into Italy.
