FAQ : Italy

Can I move permanently to Italy?

EU citizens don't require a visa but if you intend to spend longer than 90 days you must apply for a permit to stay, which you should get from the local police headquarters. A permit to stay isn't a residence permit, which you can apply for at the registry office of your local town hall. You do not officially have to apply for a residence permit if you are an EU citizen staying over 183 days of the year, but it is recommended that you do so as there are several benefits that apply.

Is it a good investment to buy in Italy?

Property prices in Italy have been rising, especially in popular areas like Tuscany, but it still remains good value, especially in the more rural areas. If you are thinking of buying a property in Italy, especially in a popular tourist area or one of the cities you will need to spend more and you will find it hard to find anything that could be described as a bargain; although if you are buying as an investment property, these areas will always be in high demand.
