Para quem é este guia

For Schengen holidays, art and design study, and people with passive income considering elective residence.

Como visitar e por quanto tempo

Schengen 90/180. Chinese passports file a Schengen visa with Italy when it is the main destination. Peak-season appointments and insurance are strict. Short stays have no work right.

Trabalho e residência

Work visas are quota-limited by decreto flussi. Elective residence needs passive income and forbids employment. A digital-nomad visa targets well-paid remote work. Study and self-employment have their own articles.

Residência permanente e nacionalidade

EU long-term residence is commonly five years. Nationality is ten years, shorter with an Italian spouse. Investor or elective residence does not automatically cut that. Confirm with the interior ministry.

Time to PR：5 years
