"We Are All Pilgrims Who Seek Italy" - Goethe

We assist our clients in securing the Elective Residence Visa which allows an American retiree to enter and reside permanently in Italy, after demonstrating sufficient income, in order to support himself and his family during their permanence in the country. We can represent our clients before any Italian Consulate in the United States, depending on the state of current domicile of the retiree applicant.

We can also assist in applying for the Italian citizenship those American retirees who are of Italian descent or who are married to an Italian citizen.

  After securing the Elective Residence Visa and upon arrival to Italy, one of our collaborators in the country will assist you in the initial immigration process before the Italian customs police, so as to obtain the Permesso di soggiorno – Permit of Stay – an official document issued by the Italian government that will formalize your status as resident of Italy.  

  An American retiree who wants to relocate to Italy, must provide evidence of a place where to stay before he/she can receive the Elective Residence Visa. Whether you want to buy or rent, we can assist you with our network of real estate professionals on location, to select a home for your initial period or a property for your long term stay.

Renting or purchasing real estate in Italy is very affordable when compared to prices in the U.S. real estate market. However renting and purchasing a property in Italy can sometimes be a long and intricate process which is very different from real estate conveyance in the U.S. One of our services is to educate our clients in understanding and learning the differences and nuances between leasing or buying real estate in Italy. We can also assist you in any real estate transaction from the U.S. or once you are in Italy, through our network of real estate professionals.
