How to Move to Italy from the USA: Best Visa Options, Residency, and Italian Citizenship
Relocating to Italy from the U.S. can involve exploring a variety of visa options such as family reunification, student visas, the digital nomad visa, and elective residency visa for retirees. Whether you plan to study at an Italian university, work remotely as a freelancer, or retire in Italy, understanding the visa requirements and eligibility criteria is key. While purchasing property in Italy can support your plans, it doesn’t automatically provide residency. For those with Italian ancestry or married to an Italian citizen, Italian citizenship by descent or through marriage offers a more direct pathway to permanent residency in Italy. Given the complexities of the Italian immigration process, seeking professional assistance can help ensure a smooth transition and make settling into your new life in Italy easier. In this episode of the Italian Real Estate Podcast hosted by Italian attorney Marco Permunian and dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, we’ll learn more about the best legal pathways to live in Italy, including detailed insights on visas, property ownership, and achieving Italian citizenship.
