01Cómo entrar

Estancia sin visadoactivo

EU/EEA/Swiss freedom of movement — registration with the comune

Para: EU citizens

it-eu-freedom-of-movement

Duración: 3 meses, renovable
Vía a la residencia permanente: Sí
Familia: Incluida
Requisito de ingresos: 5062 EUR/year

Requisitos (4)

01The first three months need no formality at all beyond a valid identity document
02Beyond three months, register with the comune (iscrizione anagrafica) as a worker, self-employed person, student, or as a person with sufficient resources
03Non-working registrants must document sufficient resources (from €5,061.68 a year) and health cover so as not to burden public assistance
04The comune issues an attestation of registration immediately on request

Qué implica esta vía

Cómo se mide el requisito de ingresos

Resources considered sufficient for registration: €5,061.68 for the applicant alone or with one family member, €10,123.36 with two or three, €15,185.04 with four or more. Workers and self-employed people register on the basis of their activity and are not asked to meet this threshold

Implicaciones fiscales:

Free movement says nothing about tax: crossing 183 days of presence makes you an Italian tax resident on worldwide income. An EU citizen may open a VAT number and use the regime forfettario on exactly the same terms as an Italian.

Contexto importante

By far the simplest route into Italy, and the reason the visa questions on this page only concern non-EU citizens. Five years of continuous legal residence gives the permanent right of residence. The resource thresholds are low by design — they exist to stop welfare tourism, not to filter out remote workers, and anyone registering as self-employed is assessed on the activity instead.

Digital nomad and remote worker visa (nomadi digitali e lavoratori da remoto)

Para: Todas salvo EU citizens

it-digital-nomad-visa

Duración: 1 año, renovable
Vía a la residencia permanente: Sí
Familia: Incluida
Requisito de ingresos: 28.000 EUR/year

Requisitos (8)

01Highly qualified work carried out remotely — self-employed (nomade digitale) or as an employee/collaborator of a company that may be based outside Italy (lavoratore da remoto)
02Qualification meeting art. 27-quater of the immigration act (the EU Blue Card standard: a degree of at least three years, or an equivalent recognised professional qualification)
03At least six months of prior experience in the activity to be carried out
04Annual income from lawful sources of at least three times the healthcare cost-sharing exemption threshold (≈ €28,000)
05Health insurance covering medical care and hospitalisation, valid in Italy for the whole stay
06Documented accommodation arrangements in Italy
07For remote employees only: an employment or collaboration contract, or a binding offer, apostilled and translated
08Apply for the residence permit at the questura of the province of residence within eight working days of entering Italy

Qué implica esta vía

Cómo se mide el requisito de ingresos

At least three times the minimum income level for exemption from healthcare cost-sharing, which Italian consulates publish as €28,000 a year (art. 3(1)(a) of the decree of 29 February 2024)

Implicaciones fiscales:

Staying beyond 183 days in a calendar year makes you an Italian tax resident on worldwide income. The permit is explicitly revoked if national tax and social-contribution rules are not respected, so registering for tax and INPS is part of keeping it. Freelancers who register a VAT number typically land in the regime forfettario; new residents may instead qualify for the impatriati 50% exemption.

régimen relacionado →régimen relacionado →régimen relacionado →

Contexto importante

Granted outside the decreto-flussi quotas and without a nulla osta, which is what makes it genuinely usable — the ordinary self-employment route depends on a quota that is exhausted within hours. The permit lasts up to one year and renews annually while the conditions hold; family members can join under the ordinary family-reunification rules. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens need none of this.

Self-employment visa (lavoro autonomo) — inside the decreto flussi quota

Duración: 2 años, renovable

Requisitos (4)

01A place inside the annual decreto flussi quota — for 2026 the whole country has 650 self-employment entries, against 76,200 for non-seasonal employment and 88,000 seasonal
02Pre-compile the application on the Interior Ministry's ALI portal ahead of the click-day (precompilation for the 2026-2028 cycle opened on 23 October 2025)
03Obtain the entry visa at the consulate, then request the residence permit at the questura after arriving in Italy
04The residence permit for self-employment may not exceed two years (art. 5 of the immigration act)

Elective residence visa (residenza elettiva)

Para: Todas salvo EU citizens

it-elective-residence-visa

Duración: 1 año, renovable
Vía a la residencia permanente: Sí
Familia: Incluida
Requisito de ingresos: 31.000 EUR/year

Requisitos (4)

01Substantial and stable passive income — pension, annuity, income from property or from stable economic and commercial activities
02The income may not come from any form of employment, and no work activity of any kind is permitted in Italy under this visa
03A purchase or lease contract for a home in Italy covering the whole period requested, registered with the Italian tax authorities and in the applicant's name
04Request the residence permit at the questura after entering Italy

Qué implica esta vía

Cómo se mide el requisito de ingresos

Around €31,000 a year per person of passive income, as published by Italian consulates; the statutory test is at least three times the amount in table A of the Interior Ministry directive of 1 March 2000, which consulates apply as roughly €2,600 a month per adult

Implicaciones fiscales:

Living in Italy for more than 183 days a year makes you an Italian tax resident on worldwide income, including the foreign pensions or annuities that qualified you for the visa. Since no work is allowed, none of the freelancer regimes apply.

Contexto importante

Designed for retirees and people living off capital, not for remote workers: consulates read the no-work rule strictly, and remote employment or freelancing for foreign clients does not qualify — that is precisely the gap the 2024 digital-nomad decree was written to fill. The required income figure is set by each consulate around the statutory multiple, so check the exact amount with the consulate handling your application.
