When should you work with a licensed lawyer?
Italy Nomad Desk is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. If your case involves any of the situations below, work with a licensed Italian immigration lawyer (avvocato). Tell us about your case and we'll refer you; the lawyer quotes and bills you directly.
| Situation | Why |
|---|---|
| You are paid by a company you own | Whether the relationship counts as genuine remote work or self-employment is a legal judgment. |
| A previous refusal, or an appeal | Appeals have strict deadlines and must be filed correctly. |
| Any criminal record or past immigration problem | Whether it blocks the permit depends on the offence and the law. |
| Unusual family situations | Custody, unmarried partners without registration, dependent parents or adult children. |
| Mixed or unusual income | Income close to the threshold, crypto income, income from several entities. |
| Tax planning (impatriati, forfettario, US taxes) | That's for a tax advisor (commercialista), not a visa service. |
You can verify that an Italian lawyer is registered with the bar through the Consiglio Nazionale Forense (Italian National Bar Council). See also is the Italy nomad visa hard to get?
