How long does the Italy digital nomad visa last?

The Italy Digital Nomad Visa is valid for 1 year and is renewable. This means you can initially live and work remotely in Italy for 12 months. After your first year, you can apply to renew the visa, extending your stay. The renewal process is typically done within Italy at a local Questura (police headquarters) and requires proving you still meet the eligibility criteria, such as maintaining a sufficient income and health insurance. For example, you'll need to show proof of an income at least three times the Italian minimum wage, which is currently around €8,500 annually. So, your income needs to be roughly €25,500 per year. You'll also need valid health insurance coverage for your entire renewed stay. The ability to renew makes Italy a fantastic long-term option for digital nomads. Just be sure to start the renewal process well before your current visa expires to avoid any gaps in your legal status.
