Italy's Digital Nomad Visa is for highly skilled remote workers and freelancers. Your document file includes an apostilled FBI background check and a sworn Italian translation. Here is how to get it in 7 to 10 business days.
Italy's Digital Nomad Visa is for qualified remote workers earning income from outside Italy. Alongside proof of remote work, income, and qualifications, Italy requires a criminal record certificate. For Americans that is the FBI Identity History Summary, apostilled by the U.S. Department of State, because the FBI check is a federal document.
After the apostille, Italy requires a sworn or certified Italian translation (traduzione giurata) of your FBI background check. Get the apostille first, then translate the complete document. Our fast turnaround leaves you time to complete the translation before your appointment.
Upload it to our apostille order form. We apostille it and return it in 7 to 10 business days.
Get fingerprinted (livescan in Virginia, or an FD-258 card mailed in from anywhere for $95, ideal if you are already in Italy), get your result, then apostille it.
