I'm moving to Italy
Everything you need to arrive, settle and live in Italy.
Moving to Italy means a chain of offices, documents and deadlines. Here is the order to follow, what to expect, and an English-speaking tax and legal team for each step, paid only as the work is proven.
Key things to know
Apply before you travelAn entry visa for stays over 90 days is requested at the Italian consulate in your country, before you leave. The consulate decides and can refuse.
Residence permit within 8 working daysAfter you arrive, the permit request must be filed within 8 working days. Then you wait for the appointment and the issue.
Order mattersVisa first, then permit, tax code, residency, healthcare. Many offices ask for the previous document.
Rent contracts: 30 daysA rental contract must be registered within 30 days. Do not send money before seeing the home and checking the owner.
Documents from abroadCivil records often need a sworn translation and an apostille. Each office can ask for a different format.
You pay for the work, not the outcomePublic offices decide the result. Your payment is released phase by phase, as each step of the work is proven.
Times are estimates: offices set the real ones. Prices include VAT and the Fidato Care fee. Government fees, stamp duties and taxes are never included.
