The Italian parliament has adopted framework legislation amending the existing immigration law and introducing a one-year Digital Nomad Visa. The Digital Nomad Visa is suitable for highly qualified work performed remotely via technological tools, either self-employed or on behalf of a foreign company. The Visa will be issued for up to 12 months and should offer a streamlined entry path for eligible entrants, requiring only a visa and no additional work and residence permit. An inter-ministerial decree, expected to be published by the end of April, is required to establish the application procedure, eligibility criteria, minimum salary requirements and document requirements for the new visa type. We will publish an alert when this occurs.
This alert is for informational purposes only. If you have any questions, please contact the global immigration professional with whom you work at Fragomen or send an email to [email protected].
