EU resident and 90-day rule in Italy

Upvote:4

Italy is part of the Schengen travel zone and so is Austria. The UK is not.

  • A non-EU/EEA resident of one Schengen country can visit all other Schengen countries under the 90/180 rule, that is no more than 90 days out of the previous 180 days.

This condition must be fulfilled every single day. There is no reset. After 90 days in, you must stay 90 days out. (On the 181th day you could come back in since the first of the 90 days in was more than 180 days ago.)

But you are not a resident of the Schengen zone, I believe.

  • You are residents in the UK, not in a Schengen country. If you are also citizens of an EU/EEA country, your travel would be covered under the EU freedom of movement or freedom of establishment rules.
  • If you are not citizens of an EU/EEA country, either you need a visa or you have visa-free entry under the same 90/180 rule. You would need an Italian D visa.

Important: If you are an EU citizen who lives and works in Italy for clients elsewhere in the EU, you might already be an Italian resident for tax purposes. Talk to a competent tax counsellor now.
