A remote-income route for applicants working for overseas employers, clients, or businesses.
Route overview
Typical timeline / duration: National visa with residence permit after arrival; generally up to one year and renewable if conditions remain met.
Important notes
Italian consulate pages state the visa is intended for non-EU citizens who intend to work remotely while living in Italy.
Checklists include passport, application, photo, proof of highly qualified work, accommodation, health insurance, income, criminal-record and work-contract/professional evidence.
Income threshold is tied to Italian health-exemption/annual minimum rules and appears around €25k-€30k depending on consulate; use exact current consulate checklist for applicant jurisdiction.
