Why join

Half-answers are expensive

Most people planning a move to Italy piece together their information from forums, Facebook groups, expat blogs and influencers.

What you usually get

  • Half-answers from people who moved under different rules
  • Outdated thresholds, deadlines and regimes
  • Advice that doesn't apply to your visa type, income source or country of origin
  • Ten sources that contradict each other

What you get here

  • Professionals who do this work day to day
  • Current rules, explained as they actually apply
  • Taxes, visas and financial planning covered together, because they're interconnected
  • One live session, with your questions answered on the spot

The agenda

What we'll cover

In one live session, the panel works through the three areas that decide whether a move to Italy works on paper, not just on Instagram.

Italian tax residency & obligations

  • When Italy considers you tax resident, and why the 183-day rule is only the start
  • What you must declare once you're resident: worldwide income, foreign assets and property
  • Special regimes for new residents, and who actually qualifies for them

Visas & immigration

  • Elective residence, digital nomad and other routes, and which fits your situation
  • Income thresholds, documents and realistic processing times
  • After arrival: permesso di soggiorno, residenza and codice fiscale in the right order

Cross-border financial planning

  • How pensions, investments and property are taxed across two countries
  • Double taxation treaties and foreign tax credits in practice
  • Banking, currency and estate questions to settle before you move

Who this is for

Built for people who are serious about the move

  • Anyone actively considering a move to Italy
  • Remote workers and digital nomads weighing Italy as a base
  • Retirees exploring Italy for retirement
  • Dual citizens and people with Italian ancestry considering a formal move
  • People who've already moved but aren't confident they're handling taxes correctly
