Step by step through the Italy Digital Nomad Visa application, from first document to approval.

Verified Aug 2026 · Italy's Digital Nomad Visa framework and the impatriate tax regime (D.Lgs. 209/2023)
  1. Apply at an Italian consulate serving your home address.
  2. Submit income, qualification, and standard documentation.
  3. Processing time is reported inconsistently across sources — anywhere from 30 to 120 days depending on the consulate and how complete the application is. The visa fee is €116. Health insurance must specifically cover Italy with at least €30,000 in coverage — standard travel insurance policies commonly fall short of this and get rejected.
