Quick answer: this directory lists 9 Italy Digital Nomad Visa providers, unranked, with paid profiles listed first. Use the filters to narrow by provider type, language and fees.
Italy's digital nomad and remote-worker route, set by the decree of 29 February 2024, lets non-EU nationals doing highly qualified work remotely enter on a long-stay visa and then hold a residence permit for up to one year, renewable annually. Annual income must be at least three times the minimum level for exemption from healthcare co-payments: about €24,789 a year, the figure published by the Italian Consulate General in New York, which is set by formula and updated (checked 26 Sep 2026).
The decree separates self-employed digital nomads from remote workers with an employment or collaboration contract. Neither needs the usual work nulla osta, and there is no investment element. Investor cases belong in the Italy Golden Visa lawyer directory.
