❓ What is the role of the endorsement letter?
The endorsement letter is a required document issued by an accredited incubator, investor, or support organization. It confirms that your business idea is valid and innovative. It’s essential to obtain the visa approval from the Italian Ministry (MIMIT).
❓ How long is the residence permit obtained through the StartUp Visa valid?
The initial residence permit is valid for 1 year and can be renewed if the startup is effectively operating and meets the requirements set by Italian law.
❓ Can I open the company without being physically in Italy?
Yes, it is possible to establish the company remotely, with the support of a consultant and by granting a power of attorney. You can also obtain a tax code and VAT number from abroad.
