What is happening to Italy's Startup visa program?

I'm a young entrepreneur based in the Middle East and I'm interested in the Startup visa route. But I've heard that these days, the acceptance rate for this visa route is terribly low, that more than half of all applicants get rejected. What can I do to ensure my application succeeds?

    The ministry has announced that the Italian Startup visa and the Italian Startup hub programs have been temporarily suspended, therefore, applications cannot be filed for this visa. Applications may resume soon.

    The acceptance rate for this visa route could have become lower due to statistical reasons. However, anything you can do to ensure your application being successful is to follow the general rules.
