Not all self-employment categories are available each year. In general, to be eligible for self-employment, an applicant must: Have suitable accommodation in Italy; Have financial resources exceeding the minimum level set by the law for the exemption from a healthcare contribution (8,500 euros); Obtain a Police Clearance (Nulla Osta) in Italy; and Have certificates, documents, or attestations as required for the type of self-employment activity to be performed (applicants must meet the legal requirements for the performance of the activity in question, including, when required, the prerequisites for entering into professional registers). Some categories of self-employment visas are issued outside of the quota decree (e.g., translators and interpreters, university professors, lecturers, managers in an intra-company framework).
