Italian Ministries have jointly signed the final regulations, this new visa option will become a reality. Digital Nomad Visa Italy
Are you a digital nomad looking for a new destination to work and live in? Look no further than Italy! The Italian government has recently announced plans to introduce a digital nomad visa in 2024, making it easier for remote workers to live and work in the country. In fact, it will be possible for professionals, collaborators, or employees with a passion for travel, to work remotely in the beautiful country of Italy. The reason for this is that the Italian Ministries of Interior, Foreign Affairs, Tourism, and Labour have collectively endorsed an execution decree that has been anticipated for over two years.
It has been established that highly specialized workers from countries outside the European Union can finally move their place of work to Italy and obtain a special residence permit to carry out smart working activities.
The definition of “digital nomad” in the decree includes citizens of non-EU states who carry out a highly qualified activity using technological tools to work remotely. These individuals may be self-employed workers or collaborators/employees of companies that are not resident in Italy. This new solution will grant a residence permit for periods exceeding ninety days and will be outside of the annual quotas foreseen for non-EU workers.

Why Italy?
Italy is a dream destination for many, with its rich history, beautiful landscapes, and delicious cuisine. But it’s not just a popular tourist spot – it’s also a great place for digital nomads.
With its strong economy and growing tech industry, Italy offers plenty of job opportunities for remote workers. It also has a high quality of life, affordable cost of living, and a laid-back lifestyle that is perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.
In addition, Italy’s central location in Europe makes it easy to travel to other countries and explore new cultures while living there.
How to apply for the Italian “Digital Nomads” Visa?
The visa request must be filed with the competent Italian diplomatic-consular office in your area. The process of obtaining the “Digital Nomad” visa requires that workers have an annual income at least triple the minimum level for exemption from participation in healthcare costs, which corresponds to approximately 28,000 euros per year.
Furthermore, it is necessary to have health insurance valid for the Italian territory for the entire period of stay and to demonstrate, through proper documentation, accommodation, and work experience of at least six months as a digital nomad or remote worker.
How the residence permit will work
The subsequent residence permit will be valid for a maximum of one year, with the possibility of annual renewal. In terms of social security and welfare coverage, bilateral conventions on social security between Italy and the worker’s country of origin apply. In the absence of such agreements, the coverage provided for by Italian legislation applies throughout the entire period of the residence permit.
Digital nomads will be able to be “self-employed” in Italy, will be able to open a “partita IVA” (VAT Number necessary for doing business in Italy), and since they will be residents in Italy they will have to file to report their incomes to the Italian tax agency.
