Visa for Fashion Models

Fashion models typically enter Italy with business visas for short-term business meetings and castings. For short-term/long-term work purpose stay instead, Italian law does not foresee a special work visa for fashion models and therefore their immigration process is regulated by the general work immigration process. An option for fashion models to work in Italy is the Self-employment visa (visto per lavoro autnomo).
