In an innovative step designed to draw in international talent and promote remote work culture, Italy has introduced a special visa scheme designed for independent contractors and digital nomads.
This program, which went into effect earlier this month, provides opportunities for non-EU nationals who want to pursue their professional goals while being enticed by Italy’s stunning scenery and rich cultural legacy.
International media outlets claim that the recently announced digital nomad visa presents an alluring chance for remote workers to partake in “highly qualified work activity utilizing technological tools that enable remote work.”
In order to qualify for this visa, candidates must be employed, whether they work for themselves, as independent contractors, or through remote employment agreements.
