In May 2025, I was on the train from Dorset to the beautiful Walker-North’s wedding in London and remember thinking: I think I want to move to Italy.
One year and two months later, after an 800-page visa application, seven hire cars, and five months of loving the most beautiful land in Liguria, the DIGITAL NOMAD VISA for Italy is here ❤️🔥
It’s been the wildest, most uncertain ride where every pillar of life has wobbled, and all of the edges have stretched, and there’s been a lot of questioning of whether I’d lost my actual mind. I trembled while handing in the file on the 8th July like it was my heart I was passing over and the only question asked in the visa appointment was what kind of pasta flour I used – Italian or English – and I lost all the words.
But 21 days later, on the day of the Buck Moon, the visa is in, the wait is over, and the one-way flight is booked. NIPOTINA IS MOVING TO ITALY BB.
