MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT! The Italian government has announced a new Visa that will be made available to self-employed Digital Nomads and employed remote workers who would like to call Italy home. This new visa is a major update for individuals who would like to move to Italy and be allowed to stay in Italy long term. Up until now, this has been very challenging for many people who are not eligible for Italian Citizenship by descent or from the EU. This new visa is for those who are from outside the European Union who would like to live in Italy. The entrepreneurial visa that Italy has had for some time now has been quite limited and the approval process was quite complex, but this new visa promises to offer an expedited process to a larger group of people. In this episode of the Italian Citizenship Podcast, hosts Marco Permunian, an Italian attorney, along with video podcaster and dual-citizen expat, Rafael Di Furia ( @Rafael Di Furia - Not Your Average Globetrotter) go over the new Italian Digital Nomad Visa.

Update:

At the time the recording the draft of the law of conversion was the only source of information available on this topic. Since recording, the draft has been made into law but has yet to be defined further with the finalized requirements.
