Yes. If you live abroad for more than 12 months, you MUST register with AIRE (Anagrafe degli Italiani Residenti all'Estero). It's a legal obligation and allows you to vote from abroad and renew documents at consulates. Failing to register can result in fines and tax complications (presumption of residence in Italy).

Can Italians work remotely in other EU countries?

Absolutely. As an EU citizen, you have the right to live and work in any EU/EEA country. You don't need a Digital Nomad Visa for Spain, Portugal, or Greece. You just need to register your presence with local authorities if staying long-term.

What are the best visa options for Italians outside Europe?

Top choices include the UAE (Dubai) for 0% tax, Thailand (DTV Visa for 5 years), and Costa Rica. The Working Holiday Visa (Vacanza Lavoro) is also popular for Italians under 30/35 in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.

How do I avoid double taxation as an Italian nomad?

You must establish tax residency abroad and register with AIRE to stop being an Italian tax resident. Italy has strict rules: if you are not in AIRE, you are presumed to be a resident. Check if your new home has a Double Taxation Treaty with Italy.
