    Anagrafe residence, identity card, SSN or private cover, bank, schools, home, and the clock on your Italian driving test. This is the Soft Landing Program.

  5. 5

    Every year · Year 5

    Renewals & long-term EU permit

    Permit renewed each year while you keep working remotely. After five years of legal residence, the long-term EU permit with an A2 Italian test.

    Italian citizenship

    Ten years of legal residence and B1 Italian, with a decision in up to 24–36 months. An EU passport for the whole family.

Timelines are approximate and vary by consulate and questura workload; in Milan, Rome and Turin the permesso card often takes longer than 90 days. Orange stages are the ones we handle end to end; the rest we plan with you from day one.

Not a visa service. A landing.

Most firms stop at the visa. The Soft Landing Program starts there and carries your family through the first 90 days: home, school, doctor, bank, car. That is why our price is hard to compare, and why we publish it anyway.

Figures verified September 2026. The income line is three times Italy’s healthcare-exemption level: €24,789 a year at US consulates. Some consulates quote up to €28,000, so we build every file above that and re-check your consulate’s figure.

  • Passport (15 months validity, two blank pages) and photos
  • Three to six months of payslips or invoices, plus bank statements
  • Diploma, professional licence or experience letters
  • Last tax return (1040) and W-2 or 1099s
  • FBI background check (we tell you when to order it)
  • Marriage and birth certificates for family members

We handle

Everything else.

  • Registered Italian lease in your name, reviewed and filed before you apply
  • Qualification dossier: degree recognition or documented experience
  • Employer declaration for your HR, drafted by a lawyer
  • Codice fiscale arranged before you fly
  • Health insurance that the consulate accepts

Italy DNV questions, answered.

The eight things people ask before they book the call.

It is simple: if your visa is not approved, you get our fee back in full. With a 99.9% approval rate across 2,200+ visas, it is a promise we are happy to make.

Yes, if your employer agrees to you working from Italy. HR signs one declaration, which also covers the company’s clean record for the last five years; we draft it in the consulate’s wording. Payroll stays in the US. How social security works for US-payroll employees living in Italy is part of our tax consultation.

At least €24,789 gross a year, three times Italy’s healthcare-exemption level, which is the figure US consulates use. Some consulates and guides quote up to €28,000, so we build every file above that. Show it as regular income over recent months, not a large balance on one day.

No. A degree, a licensed profession, or five years of senior experience all qualify, and three years in the last seven for ICT roles. You also need six months in your current line of work. We build that dossier for you first.

Yes. The consulate wants a lease or deed in your own name, registered with the Agenzia delle Entrate, covering the whole visa period. Hotels, Airbnb and host letters do not count. We review the contract and handle the registration, so you only sign.

Yes. Your spouse and children under 18 receive family permits for the same term as yours, and they may work in Italy. Whether they travel with you or follow once your permit is filed depends on your consulate’s current practice; we plan that timing with you in the first call.

Once you are tax resident, generally after 183 days, Italy taxes worldwide income at 23% to 43% plus local surcharges. Some remote workers may qualify for the impatriate regime, which can exempt 50% of work income for five years; it has strict conditions, including three years abroad before the move and a four-year stay. Our tax consultation with a CPA checks it against your numbers before you decide. You keep filing in the US.

The full application for the main applicant: eligibility and qualification route, document list, employer declaration, lease review, codice fiscale, translation review, consulate booking and interview prep, permesso kit and questura appointment, and the appeal if it ever came to that.
