What is the Self-employed Work Visa?
The self-employed work visa is a type of visa issued by Italian authorities to foreign citizens who wish to work independently in Italy, without being employees of a company or an employer. This visa is particularly suitable for professionals such as lawyers, architects, engineers, artists, and other independent workers.
What is the Italia StartUp VISA Program?
It is an initiative of the Italian government aimed at promoting the entry of foreign entrepreneurs who want to start an innovative startup in Italy. This program offers a self-employed work visa to those who submit an innovative business project and can demonstrate their ability to create jobs and generate added value for the Italian economy.
What is the Italia StartUp Hub Program (also known as Visa for New Businesses or VN)?
It is another initiative of the Italian government aimed at promoting the entry of foreign entrepreneurs interested in starting a new business in Italy. In this case, the visa is also issued to those who submit an innovative business project and can demonstrate their ability to create jobs and generate added value for the Italian economy.
In both cases, the visa is issued for a period of two years and can be subsequently renewed for another two years. To obtain the visa, a series of documents must be submitted, including a business plan, an assessment of financial resources, and a copy of the passport.
Moreover, it is important to emphasize that the self-employed work visa or new business visa does not grant automatic entry to Italy. Before entering the country, a residence permit must be obtained, which can be requested at the Italian embassy or consulate in the country of origin. Once the residence permit is obtained, it is possible to enter Italy and start working as a self-employed worker or start a new business.
To obtain the self-employed work visa or the Italia StartUp VISA or StartUp Hub Program, it is necessary to have a profitable activity and demonstrate the ability to support oneself financially during the stay in Italy.
For this reason, it can be a valid financial aid to have a Bank Guarantee issued by an acquaintance in Italy with whom you will collaborate.
Among other necessary documents, there is a need for health insurance that covers any medical expenses for the entire period you remain in Italy, with a minimum limit of 30,000.00 euros.
We offer health insurance without age limits.

In addition, it is required to have a good knowledge of the Italian language and a good understanding of Italian laws and regulations related to entrepreneurship.
Furthermore, it is important to emphasize that the self-employed work visa or the Italia StartUp VISA or StartUp Hub Program does not grant the right to receive financial aid or subsidies from the Italian State. Foreign entrepreneurs who intend to start a business in Italy must be able to finance themselves and support themselves during their stay in Italy.
Finally, it is important to remember that the self-employed work visa or the Italia StartUp VISA or StartUp Hub Program are temporary visas, valid for a period of two years.
At the end of this period, it is possible to apply for a renewal of the visa for another two years. However, it is important to note that the renewal of the visa is subject to the verification of compliance with the conditions for which it was initially issued, namely the creation of jobs and the generation of added value for the Italian economy.
