Italy's digital nomad visa, launched in April 2024, is limited to highly skilled non-EU remote workers: you need a degree or accredited professional experience plus at least six months of remote work history. Consulates generally expect around EUR 28,000/year in income (the legal minimum is EUR 24,789, but practice varies by consulate), along with health insurance, proof of accommodation, and a clean criminal record. The visa is issued for one year (fee EUR 116) and the residence permit can be renewed annually for as long as requirements are met.
