What Non-EU Nationals Should Know Before Moving to Italy
Remote working is here to stay, giving many of us the freedom to grab our laptops and bags and move to just about anywhere! Forbes projected that 25% of all professional jobs in North America would be remote by 2022, and remote opportunities will continue to increase through 2023. How great is that? For our readers who are dreaming of Italy, before you scope out your new office in il bel Paese, here’s what you should know about the Digital Nomad Visa for Italy.
 Length of Stay
An Italian tourist visa allows you to stay for up to 3 months without returning to your country of origin. With the Digital Nomad Visa, most non-EU nationals can remain in Italy for up to one year with a possibility of renewal.
 [Note: EU nationals are entitled to work for an employer or self-employed person in any EU country without needing a work permit.]
Eligibility
Each EU country currently issues a digital nomad visa has its policies and regulations. Some allow eligible citizens to apply online, while others must submit their applications through an embassy or consulate. For Italy, you will most likely need at least:
 

• An eligible and valid passport.
• A steady remote income as a ‘highly qualified worker’.
• Proof of medical insurance and vaccine certificates.
• Proof of accommodation. Clean criminal record.

We’ve learned from speaking with some of our featured ‘ex-pats’ that renting in Italy can be challenging regarding deposit requirements and contracts. Firstly, an initial deposit of 2 or 3 months may be required. You’ll have to pay a fee using a real estate agency. Secondly, standard rental contracts can last up to 4 years. The name for shorter term rental contracts in Italian is “contratto di locazione ad uso transitorio”.
Most often, utility bills (gas, electricity, and water) must be in your name. 


Before You Get ThereYou may want to investigate the following before you go thoroughly:

• Whether or not you need an Italian Tax ID, Codice Fiscale, and if you must pay income taxes in Italy and your native country.
• Suppose you must have a rental contract signed before moving. (You may also need the Codice Fiscale to rent a property in Italy. The Italian Consulate states on their website that the application process can take more than 30 days. 
• Upon receiving your digital nomad visa, you may need these documents: (1) Permesso di Soggiorno (PDS) or Permission to Stay. You can apply within eight days of arrival at a post office. You may then need to secure an appointment at the local police station and present supporting documents, passport, and have photos and fingerprints taken; and (2) Carta d’identità obtained through your comune. To get this ID card, the 
• PDS and tenancy agreement may be required.
