About
Live legally in Italy while working for international clients or employers—with the potential for long-term residency
Italy’s new Digital Nomad Visa allows remote workers and freelancers from outside the EU to live and work from one of the world’s most iconic destinations—without needing local employment. Whether you’re drawn to the history of Rome, the coastline of Liguria, or the countryside of Tuscany, this visa provides legal residency while maintaining your foreign income stream. With a one-year duration (renewable), it’s a flexible route for digital professionals looking to build a base in Europe with access to the Schengen Zone.
Through our Private Office Hub, we connect applicants to experienced Italian immigration lawyers and relocation specialists who understand both the technical and practical aspects of moving to Italy. From securing compliant accommodation to advising on health insurance and long-term planning, our role is to ensure your relocation is smooth, structured, and aligned with your personal and financial goals.
