Italia Startup Visa

A fast-track self-employment route for non-EU entrepreneurs founding or joining an innovative startup in Italy, run by the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy. It bypasses the Decreto Flussi quota: applicants apply directly to the dedicated committee, which aims to issue a nulla osta within 30 days, before applying for a one-year self-employment visa.
