If you are moving to Italy or have already made the move, Expats in Italy is the place for you!
[header.htm]

So you want to move to Italy . . .

You just came back from a wonderful vacation in Tuscany and you decide, "that’s it, I’m moving to Italy!" You want to enjoy those wonderful meals every day. You want to enjoy the people every day. Well you are among the lucky few who have been bitten by the Italian bug. Now what do you do? Hop on a plane and just figure it along the way? No, your best bet is to take a little bit of time and research every aspect that you can think of and others that you didn’t even know existed.

This website is an information center for people like you, written by ex-pats who have already made the move. I hope to be able to supply as much information and as many links as possible to make your dream a reality.

Many questions can only be answered by contacting your local Italian consulate.  Things like how much income for retirees and work quotas vary from consulate to consulate so please contact them on these subjects. 

Where to start?  In my opinion, you need to first find out if it is even a possibility.  Can you legally and financially make the move? What are your options (types of visas, citizenship, etc.) and how long will they take? 

Options?  There are many different ways to come over but all entail a lot of paperwork, running around and aggravation.  Are you up for it?  Then your first stop should be your local Italian Consulate's Website to get the latest rundown on what you will need.  From there you can get to their pages on the different visas or better yet, the pages on citizenship if you can claim it. 

If you follow the links on the top of this page you will be able to get to all of the pages mentioned and then some. 

Come on in, have a cappuccino and learn the secrets that those who have made the move already know.

Thanks for stopping by,
