5. Italy Digital Nomad Visa

Recognizing the growing trend of remote work and digital nomadism, Italy has recently approved a digital nomad visa to attract and support this community. While specific requirements are yet to be finalised, this initiative demonstrates Italy's commitment to welcoming location-independent professionals. The digital nomad visa will clarify and facilitate longer stays for those looking to immerse themselves in the Italian lifestyle while working remotely.

• KINO and Out Quarters are running a webinar featuring Italy as a destination for digital nomads and remote workers!

6. Impactful initiatives by Italian Digital Nomads

Sharing a focus on smaller destinations and a commitment to positively impact local communities, KINO Italy and Out Quarters are two distinct projects trying to attract location-independent professionals to live and work from Italy.

KINO Italy offers curated coworking and coliving experiences in Basilicata, Apulia, and Tuscany. Since its launch in 2021, they have attracted over 50 location-independent professionals to explore lesser-known villages in Italy.

• Kino Italy is hosting a coliving in Ostuni, Puglia (23rd Sept - 15th Oct).

Out Quarters help remote workers find work-life balance while discovering Cilento's beauty and authentic traditions in the Campania region.
