    Help you make this simple. If you don’t have passive income, get a student visa for a year, by law, a student visa allows you to work 20 hours a week. A student visa can also be changed into a work visa at any point in time. Done…

      @@autygris1 Yes, and if applying for a student visa to study Italian, most consulates now want you to have a B1 level of Italian; therefore, getting a visa for a beginner's course is almost impossible now.

    Nice site! I just subscribed! I am solo and probably prefer smaller cities or towns. I was considering retiring in Europe (Italy, Spain, or Portugal) but then COVID happened. I instead retired in Guanajuato, Mexico! Now I am more likely to slow travel alternating between the Schengen and non-Schengen countries than to go through the effort of obtaining visas and moving there.

    I'm currently waiting for my dual citizenship by decent to finalize (U.S- Italy) I've narrowed down my move for a place to purchase/rent in Puglia. Do you have any specific videos on that region? I'd would also like to ask if you have a breakdown on living expenses for Puglia.

      If you don't earn at least 80k USD after taxes and you live alone, just choose a different Country. When you go from simple touristic, basic, lifestyle, to proper "Italian" one (having to meddle with public offices, rules, taxes) Italy is a nightmare.

    No wine costs less than water in italy. A good wine on average doesn't costs less than 5 or 6 euros! Below this prices it's not wine but petrol!!😂

      Before moving, it would be good to complete the first level which is about 90 hours, as not having any Italian will make things quite challenging.

    Non è vero che hai bisogno di un. Assicurazione Sanitaria! Il sistema sanitario in Italia è gratuito

      Non diamo false informazioni perfavore.
      Lo straniero extra UE che viene in Italia (legalmente) deve pagare un'assicurazione specifica per poter accedere al sistema sanitario, perchè NON E' GRATUITO, si copre con le tasse dei cittadini, quindi con soldi.
