Does Lifeset Overseas process self-employment visas?

No. Work-related visas require a separate licence we do not hold. This page is informational only, so you understand the pathway.

What is the Decreto Flussi?

It is Italy's annual decree setting quotas for work-related entries, including self-employment. Applications can only be filed within the windows the decree opens.

What can Lifeset Overseas help me with instead?

We can fully support a study visa, a visitor visa, or family routes to Italy — and permanent-residency pathways in countries where that option exists. Talk to us and we will map an honest plan.

Lifeset Overseas does NOT process work permits. Work permits require a separate MEA Recruiting Agent (RA) licence under the Emigration Act, which we do not hold. Our Licence (No. 849/DC/PTA/PLA/LC-3/2024) covers visa consultancy only — study, permanent residency, visitor, family, and CAIPS/GCMS support. This page exists so you understand the work-permit pathway, not because we can apply for it on your behalf.

Italy Self-Employment Visa

Information on the long-stay visa for self-employed and independent work in Italy (Lavoro Autonomo).

Your guideOne consultant

The Italy Self-Employment Visa (Lavoro Autonomo) is a long-stay Type D visa for those intending to carry out independent or self-employed work in Italy. It is tied to Italy's annual quota system (Decreto Flussi) and requires a Nulla Osta and a certification from the competent Italian authority confirming the activity meets the legal and financial thresholds.

This page is provided for awareness only. Lifeset Overseas does not process work-related visas — those fall under a separate licensing regime. If your real goal is to live and work in Italy, a study route followed by a graduate pathway, or a permanent-residency route in another country, is often a stronger and fully supportable plan, and we are happy to talk you through it.

A real way forward

Work visas aren’t our licence — a real route to Italy is.

Employer-driven work visas need a separate licence we don't hold — so this page is information only. But if your real goal is to build a future in Italy, we can help with a study route, a family route, or permanent residency where it exists. Talk to us and we'll map the honest path that actually works for you.
