How much does the Italy digital nomad visa cost in total?
Updated · Income, costs & timing guide · Not legal advice
The government visa fee is €116 for a national (type D) visa, charged in local currency at the consulate's current rate. The real cost is the paperwork around it: apostilles, certified Italian translations, degree recognition, health insurance, a registered lease (usually with a deposit), and the permesso di soggiorno fees after you arrive.

What a lawyer would cost instead
Italian immigration lawyers typically charge more than a flat-fee review, and are worth it for complex cases (own company, criminal record, past refusal). For a standard case, a careful checklist and a human review cover most risks. See lawyer path.
