The Lavoro Autonomo program is designed for designers, IT specialists, consultants, and other "freelance professionals" with legal remote income. Essentially, it is an analogue of the Digital Nomad visa but with a lower tax burden. The program allows both the main applicant and their family members to obtain a residence permit for 1–2 years.
About the Lavoro Autonomo Program
Program Advantages
Residence permit for the whole family
Your family members (spouse and children) automatically receive a residence permit in Italy — relocate together, without additional conditions.
No need to live in the country
Paying taxes is sufficient. Officially, you cannot be absent continuously for more than 6 months (if the residence permit is for one year) or more than 1 year (if the residence permit is for 2 years). A continuous absence cycle can be interrupted by a one-week visit to Italy.
Tax as low as 5%
Income tax (IRPEF) under the simplified regime (Forfettario) is 5% for the first five years of activity (then 15% while respecting the limit of €85,000 per year).
Permanent residence in 5 years
After 5 years of residence, you can apply for a permanent resident card, and after 10 years – citizenship.
Travel without visas to Schengen Agreement countries and stay in them for up to 90 days out of 180.
Visa-free travel within Schengen countries
Experience as a self-employed person or entrepreneur.
Own or rented housing. It is possible to show Airbnb if you can prove that it is impossible to rent an apartment long-term.

Client stories: reason for trust №1
Yulia, thank you so much to you and your team!! I really thought relocation was not in the cards for me, as I read a lot, studied, and realized that I don't fit in anywhere... I'm not a programmer and I have no special merits 😊 And how great that I accidentally (or maybe not) came across you on Instagram and finally signed up for a consultation. It turned out that not all was lost for me, and even more – everything turned out to be simpler than I thought and feared 😊 Thank you very much! I'm already starting to pack my things and get ready for Spain!

Good afternoon! I want to thank Yulia for the detailed consultation! Before this, I tried to figure it out myself, but there is no information about many details in the public domain! I had many clarifying questions, and I received comprehensive answers and even additional recommendations! Thank you for your professionalism, I will definitely contact you again.
Elizaveta
I signed up for a consultation with Yulia. We reviewed my case. Yulia detailed which programs are available regarding work, relocation, and study visas. Also, how they can be renewed in the future, etc. We settled on one option and will work on it going forward. I advise you to sign up for a consultation, even if you think only one program suits you, because local specialists in my country do not have such in-depth knowledge of visa types and conditions.

Yuri
Yulia, good afternoon! Just now the courier brought my passport. I received my D visa! 🎁 Everything happened very quickly – I submitted on July 20, on July 22 the documents were in Moscow at the consulate, and on July 29 they had already processed everything and sent them to me. Thank you very much for your help 💕💕💕💕 Now I will contact you when I enter France. I plan to do so in early August.

Frequently Asked Questions

For renewal, you need to show a very small income of about €7,000 per year. Additionally, it is possible to maintain the status through "turnkey business."
Not difficult. In fact, there are more than enough quotas to submit a dossier. However, waiting is not ruled out.
Yes, a salaried employee will not qualify for this category. In this case, the "Digital Nomad" program is more suitable.
