Working with an immigration attorney now. I have a house in Sicily and am trying to get there full time. I love italy but this 90 days twice a year i am completely over. Im ready for life there
that was going to be my question.. how to live there full time if you own a house.. I see your comment is 2 years old.. did you get there? what happened?
I thought you were from my country Kenya 🤗😅. Very informative video. Thanks girl, I would like to move and work there. I did Italian but am not fluent.
Could you please share some information regarding how to obtain italian health insurance before applying for the Visa? -- The embassy websites state that one has to attach health insurance while applying for the Visa. Thanks in advance :)
Hi there! So, you can sign an affidavit when applying for the visa that you will register upon arrival in Italy for the health insurance. Most embassies should have the same regulations, so there shouldn’t be a problem.
Hey Kenya- If one wants to live in Italy _without restraint of the Visa process,_ one may indeed already be an Italian citizen without knowing it: *Italian Citizenship By Descent (Jure Sanguinis)* The Jure Sanguinis rules are very broad, in that if _Anyone_ in a persons ancestry was originally from Italy and this can be "reasonably" documented - then one can likely get an _Italian Second Citizenship_ and passport. There are millions of People of Color that actually qualify for this as they have a grandparent or great-grandparent (or even further back) who was an Italian immigrant...regardless of legal marriage of the ancestor. A DNA test could help to begin the process. Here is the overview: *CLASS 1* When you were born, your father was a citizen of Italy. He was not a citizen of any other country. CLASS 2 When you were born, your mother was a citizen of Italy. She was not a citizen of the United States or any other country. Your birth-date was not before January 1st, 1948. It was after. *CLASS 3* Your father was not born in Italy, but his father or mother (your paternal grandfather or grandmother) was born in Italy and was a citizen of Italy or had rights to Italian citizenship jure sanguinis when your father was born. CLASS 4 Your mother was not born in Italy, but her father or mother (your maternal grandfather or grandmother) was born in Italy and was a citizen of Italy or had rights to Italian citizenship jure sanguinis when your mother was born. Also, your birth-date cannot be before January 1st, 1948. *CLASS 5* Your paternal grandparent or maternal grandparent was not born in Italy. Your maternal and paternal great-grandfathers or great-grandmothers were born in Italy and were citizens of Italy or had rights to Italian citizenship jure sanguinis when your grandparents were born. In the "Modern World", your subs should have a 2nd Citizenship from someplace on the planet just as an Insurance from "unforeseen circumstances" in ones home Country.
Ciao! Thank you so much for posting this! I am not a candidate for this procedure and haven't met anyone that has acquired Italian Citizenship by descent so far (other European countries, yes), so I decided not to mention it in this video as I wouldn't classify it as one of the most common visa procedures, especially if you are looking for a quick/immediate solution to life in Italy. I've heard it takes years for that process! I guess it is the best solution for people that are patient enough to want access to this wonderful Italian life forever, though, haha! After checking my lineage, I'm not eligible for this procedure, unfortunately. One of my friends was interested as she, in fact, did find a connection to Italy through one of her ancestors. Still, the dates were too early for her to be eligible since at least one of the Italian-born ancestors had to be alive AND an Italian citizen after 1861, when Italian unification took place. Truly unfortunate, indeed... I guess there is always naturalization and through marriage to become Italian! 😉
@@NaturallyKenya Back in my 'younger days' in Los Angeles, I knew a Woman whose parents had migrated to Italy from Senegal, where she was born and raised. She had this gorgeously beautiful, deep deep dark Umber flawless complexion. It initially amazed me - the ignorant American I was - that she kept like 9 different bottles of Olive Oil over her stove, until I tasted her cooking. She had an extremely THICK Italian accent when speaking English. Her Italian was perfect, FAST, and without any hesitation - which was so surreal (based on my captive culture mindset at the time) to see. Especially when she spoke to other Italian Americans. Their eyes almost came out of their heads. If I knew then what I know now, Assunta (Susan) should have my route to ... "...naturalization .. through marriage to become Italian!" Hummm...BTW ... are we to expect some "announcement" in the near future? 😉
Thanks for watching! The Italian "Retirement Visa", is technically called the elective residency visa (i.e., residenza elettiva). It has a similar process to the other visas, but you have to usually prove higher financial means, get a background check, etc. Check with your nearest Italian Embassy/Consulate for more details.
Yup I have friends who just completed this - the qualifications are not much - combined monthly income of €3000 in retirement, you can’t hold a job, you have to have a one yr lease/purchase prior to arrival in Italy as well, they used a visa lawyer but said they could have figured it out - this is the visa we are looking into as well.
Wow this is an amazing video! Super helpful
Thanks so much, Tayla! Happy to help!
Soon 🙏
