Italy - ROV Visa
The Italian Representative Office Visa enables foreign companies to establish offices in Italy.
Once established, the representative office can then appoint a representative (e.g. a manager). This person would then be able to apply for Italian residency and move to Italy to perform the functions required of them.
Program Overview:
The Italian Representative Office Visa enables foreign companies to establish offices in Italy.
A representative office is generally a foreign company’s non- commercial branch in a country, formed for marketing and promotional activities, and market research.
Once established, the representative office can then appoint a representative (e.g. a manager). This person would then be able to apply for Italian residency and move to Italy to perform the functions required of them.
In addition, the representative’s spouse and children can also join them in Italy under the same visa category.
There is no need to invest in Italy, and, importantly, the foreign company is exempt from Italian taxation.
All of the above-mentioned conditions are exceptionally favourable for a country known for its limited residency options (and restrictive residency requirements).

Documentation:
In order to register the office you need to obtain the following documents:

– Director’s tax code
If all the documents are in place, you can register your representative office in Italy, supplying the following information:
– Foreign company details;
– Registered office address in Italy;
– Director appointed to oversee
Once the representative office is up and running (2/3 weeks), you can obtain the Visura Camerale, which certifies that your office exists in Italy. You must also obtain the following documents:
– Managing director remuneration statement;
– Chamber of commerce clearance certificate;
– Local county labor office clearance certificate;
– Italian immigration office Nulla Osta.
You need to obtain the above documents in that order.
If you can’t visit all the offices above, you must provide someone with a power of attorney; in which we recommend doing so with our legal representative working on your application.
Italian Clearences:
Upon registering the representative office in Italy we must obtain three clearances:
1. Chamber of commerce clearance
We apply for the clearance/Authorisation to operate as the director of the foreign company once you will move to Italy
2. Labour county office clearance
We apply to the local labor county office stating that you will not be employed by the company, and act as a director
3. Immigration office clearance
At this last stage the immigration office will run a background criminal check to release the final clearance
