Description

A recent court decision in Rome has addressed income requirements for those applying for Italy’s elective residency visa, also known as the retirement visa, which allows financially self-sufficient individuals to relocate to Italy without working. While this visa is often associated with retirees, it is also open to anyone with adequate passive income, such as pensions, investment returns, or rental income. The administrative court’s decision, which may potentially ease the path for families, clarified how income thresholds apply to household members. 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 elective residency visa, its requirements, and the implications of this recent court ruling.For help with buying a home in Italy, and more information about Italian Real Estate Lawyers visit IREL's website:https://ItalianRealEstateLawyers.comTo contact Italian Attorney Marco Permunian and his team, you can use the contact form on the Italian Real Estate Lawyers website: https://italianrealestatelawyers.com/contact-us/To see more from @RafaelDiFuria about life in Italy and life as a dual citizen check out his YouTube channel and website:http://YouTube.com/RafaelDiFuriaHttp://RafaelDiFuria.comTopics & Timestamps:0:00 – Intro & Opening Thoughts0:32 - The Elective Residency Visa5:20 - The Administrative Court’s ruling8:30 - Does this ruling apply to whoever goes through the process, or are there limitations?10:11 - Closing Thoughts & Outro
