🇮🇹 Italy has delicious food and beautiful views, and the country has a few permits which allow you to relocate long-term. Giancarlo, in charge of Lexidy’s office in Italy, co-hosted this incredible session with Danish Soomro to tell us more about the Passive Income Visa for Italy.
✨ Passive Income Visa: This permit is originally intended for retirees, but if you have to prove of getting passive income, a 31K threshold per year, you can obtain it as well. You also need to show proof of health insurance and accommodation.
The passive income you can receive is from the government, from rents, and from dividends from companies. The only thing not qualified as passive income is from work-related sources and savings.
✨ Good news: There will be a Digital Nomad Visa and a Remote Worker visa for Italy. The first one is aimed at freelancers, and professionals working for themselves and that have their own income. The second one is for corporate employees that are allowed to work from anywhere. We will share the requirements for these two types of visas once they are approved, but they will most likely be around income level and type of employment.
Besides these visas, our hosts also mention the following options for your visit or relocation to Italy:
➡️Regarding tourism, it depends on your country. If your nation has a bilateral agreement with the Schengen Area, you can stay for 90 days; otherwise, you need to request a visa for tourism, business, or else.
➡️When it comes to other visas, Italy offers 28 types.
➡️Another option is to register a business in Italy to get a visa, to say, the startup visa, where you are.
You need to:
1. Invest 5000EUR in your startup.
2. Pitch your idea to the government with a solid business plan.
3. Show accommodation and insurance for your residency permit.
4. Be funded by yourself or a bank.
This visa takes from 3 to 5 months to be processed, and once approved you need to register with the Police. Your residency is valid for 2 to 3 years. After 5 years, you can get a permanent residency.
➡️If you want to invest in a different way, you can invest the following quantities to obtain a Residency Visa in Italy for two years:
250,000 Startup
500,000 Company
2,000,000 Italian Bonds
1,000,000 Government Project
