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).
