​Italy's Digital Nomad Visa/ Remote Worker Visa is designed for non-EU nationals who intend to work remotely while living in Italy. Since they are not required to be physically present at their employer's premises, digital nomads can freely move around. The regulations refer to freelancers, consultants, or other independent specialists as "digital nomads", while employees of a company are referred to as "remote workers" for this visa. Although the visa application conditions for both categories are nearly the same, remote workers are subject to some additional requirements. 

​

Main Requirements for the Italy Digital Nomad Visa

​

• Applicant must be a 'high-skilled' worker performing work remotely.

• Proof of annual income of at least €28,000, which must be proven by submitting last year's tax return, or payslip or professional invoice for the last three months.

• Proof of secured accommodation in Italy, such as a rental agreement, property deed or a letter of invitation from the host, etc.

Procedure and Duration for the Italy Digital Nomad Visa
