But although the Italian government’s digital nomad visa launched in April 2024, so far there have been few accounts of people securing one. Italy’s digital nomad visa scheme was first announced in 2022 and launched in April 2024. Apart from anything else, she had a full-time job in San Francisco at the time. Although the website warned of a minimum four-month wait time, she saw an available slot at the San Francisco consulate for 10 days later. Despite her travails to get the visa, Waite says it was worth it.

The Stellantis sign is seen outside the FCA Headquarters and Technology Center in Auburn Hills, Michigan, on Jan. 19, 2021. Stellantis on Monday trimmed its 2024 annual guidance on the back of deteriorating "global industry dynamics" and bolstered competition from China, sending Milan-listed shares lower on open. It now pencils in an adjusted operating income (AOI) margin between 5.5% to 7.0% for the full-year 2024 period, down from a "double digit" outlook. The automaker further attributed the revisions to its guidance to "decisions to significantly enlarge remediation actions on North American performance issues," but supplied no additional details. Earlier this year, Stellantis was sued by shareholders in the U.S. who claimed the automaker defrauded them by concealing rising inventories and other items, Reuters reported.
