Italy
Europe
Italy rewrote its residency test in 2024 into four independent triggers, including family ties, so it is meaningfully easier to trip into than a simple day count. Its Digital Nomad Visa and flat-tax new-resident regime are both real, but the flat-tax lump sum keeps rising and the visa's income floor moves with inflation.
