Episode 5. Visas To Work in Italy: Part 1. The Self Employment Visa - The quota system. “DIGITAL NOMADS”, the Freelance Visa and the Investment Visa.
Unlocking the Secrets to Work in Italy

In this episode, we will be discussing working visas for Italy. Due to the vastness of the topic, we will be covering it over the course of two or three episodes. Our clients often ask us questions regarding how to bring their business or investment idea to Italy, or how to get hired by an Italian company. One of the biggest questions we receive is whether one can work remotely from Italy with a digital nomad visa.
However at the time of the registration of this podcast, the Digital nomad visa is not usable yet, as we still need to wait for the implementing rules that will determine the exact requirements for issuing this visa to digital nomads
However Michele wants to reassure all the listeners "remote workers" that for the past 15 years Capecchi Legal has helped hundreds of workers to bring in Italy their business using the Freelance Visa. We have excellent records and statistics of people that, with our help, obtained this visa successfully started their business in Italy in less than 3 months from the time the retained Capecchi Legal.

Depending on the type of self-employment visa, there's a list of certificates, documents, and licenses required. In the episode Michele and Monica review the four main types of self-employment visa applications that are available under the so-called “quota” procedure: freelancers; officers and administrators of an existing Italian company; entrepreneur willing to invest 500,000 euro in a project that is considered valuable for the Italian economy; Innovative startup investors

The freelance visa, thoroughly described in this episode, is the most commonly used tool. But even if this application requires the sophisticated help of a legal proxy who can help you with the collection of the documents in Italy and the submission of the application before the Italian consulate.

Each type of application has its peculiarities that are examined in the episode. But all of them are subject to the quota system, according to which every year only a limited number of visa are granted and only for a limited period, set by the government every year with the so called "DECRETO FLUSSI".
Therefore it’s not always possible to submit the application for this visa, but we need to wait for specific moments when the government opens its gates to these special applications.

One of the challenges of any visa application is finding a suitable accommodation, as the applicant is required to provide evidence of such accommodation before actually obtaining the visa. This can be particularly difficult since the applicant may not know whether the visa will be granted or not.

In conclusion, it's crucial to have a good legal advisor on your side who can help guide you through the process.Trying to go it alone can be risky, as even a small mistake can lead to a rejected application or other legal issues down the line. As the saying goes, "DIY in this field is a call for failure," much like trying to fix a sink without the help of a pl
