Since April 5th, 2024, Italy has opened its doors to digital nomads from around the globe with the long-awaited Digital Nomads Visa. 

This means that it’s finally possible to live and work in the country while being employed by foreign companies or working as freelancers. 

Imagine waking up every day in an Italian city, with the flexibility to work from wherever you please. It’s a new era for those seeking freedom and work-life adventures!

A digital nomad is defined as a non-EU citizen who engages in highly skilled remote work in Italy, whether as a freelancer or as an employee/collaborator of a company, which may also be based abroad.

The digital nomad visa is exempt from quota limits, and it is not necessary to apply for a nulla osta for entry as a digital nomad (whether a professional or freelancer), nor as a remote worker (employee or collaborator of a company).

If you’re interested in coming to Italy as a digital nomad, you need to meet these Requirements:
