Italy Visa Requirements: Do You Qualify?
Check whether your income or savings meet Italy's requirements for Elective Residence visa and Digital Nomad / remote worker visa for your whole family.
How it works
Using the checker
- Enter who moves with you: the adults besides you (a spouse or partner, dependent parents) and the children.
- Enter your monthly income before tax and the savings you can show.
- Each route shows the amount it asks of your household and whether your figures meet it — by income, or by savings where the rules accept them.
The routes and how the amounts are worked out
- Elective Residence visa — Living in Italy on passive income (pensions, rents, investments) without working. Passive income of at least €31,000 a year (about €2,583 a month) — the consulates' figure; many add 20% for a spouse and 5% per child. The law sets no amount: each consulate applies its own practice, and some ask €31,000 for EACH adult. Work income does not count; housing in Italy is required.
- Digital Nomad / remote worker visa — Highly qualified remote work for employers or clients, including foreign ones. Annual income of at least 3 × the health-care exemption threshold — €24,790 a year (about €2,066 a month); decree of 29 February 2024. Many consulates and guides quote about €28,000 — keep a margin. Also 6 months' experience, health insurance and housing; family join by reunification.
- Investor visa (golden visa) — An investment or donation in Italy, approved by the Investor Visa Committee. €250,000 in an innovative startup, €500,000 in an Italian company, €2,000,000 in government bonds, or a €1,000,000 donation Held for 2 years, plus your own means for living in Italy.
Money is not the only requirement
Every route also asks for health insurance, a clean criminal record and documents proving the income, translated and legalised where required. A lawyer checks the whole file before you apply and helps with the residence permit after arrival.
