The digital nomad / remote worker visa is intended for individuals who are not EU citizens and who intend to work remotely while living in Italy.
The visa is only available to highly specialized workers whose careers require or exceed the requirements listed in article 27-quater of the Legislative Decree n. 286 of 25 July 1998, including careers that require post-secondary degrees or at least three years’ professional training or experience. Please see page 4, “Qualifying Professions”.
The visa is subdivided into two categories:
- “digital nomads”, who are freelancers, consultants, or other independent specialists,
- “remote workers”, who are employees of a company but can perform their work completely remotely.
