2017年5月29日 · Recently returned from a fabulous trip to Italy (Venice, Florence, Cinque Terre, Naples). Both myy wife and I are approaching retirement age (a few years away). Yes, we are basking in the glow of our wonderful trip but we are also giving serious thought to going back on a long term basis.

2019年12月11日 · Also let’s not forget that if a US citizen moves to Italy on an Elective Residency visa, they would still need to purchase private insurance or buy into the Italian NHS (approximately €3000 for a full year). A more money savvy strategy for retirement abroad might be to stay in Italy under 183 days a year and pay taxes in the US.

2018年12月29日 · Since I see more and more people here wishing to retire in Italy or at least live in Italy for extended periods after retirement, I’m posting the info at the bottom on how to apply for the long term ELECTIVE RESIDENCY VISA. The visa is for 365 days but it is renewed yearly at the Questura (State ...

2018年9月8日 · Italian consulates There's a FB group called Americans living in Italy that has been very helpful in answering questions, clarifying confusion, and pointing me in the right direction.

I spend time and money managing his health. After finding a good trainer who was willing to deal with his drugs and therapies I was able to go to Italy. I thought that would be a one and only trip.

2022年8月9日 · Read numerous posts about members that had traveled to Italy and then upon returning home received a ticket for a traffic infraction almost a year later. Mine was a speeding ticket in Siena. Thought it was a scam but after reading several forums on the subject I paid my fine via the nivisecure we...

2021年5月10日 · Thank you Roberto for clarifying some of the questions I had, in particular my question about which country would tax US social security retirement benefits. If US real estate taxes are deductible against the 0.76% wealth tax on foreign owned real estate it would reduce most Italian tax liability to zero or close to it.

2021年11月18日 · Completely agree with Roberto on Italian taxes. But we are still going through sticker shock here in Monterey County. Lunch for two at a brew pub with drinks last week- $75 including tip and tax. Italy might have been €30. Round of drinks with appetizer- $45-50. Italy -€8-12. The cost of living seemed so much less in Italy. Enjoy Italy.

2023年4月14日 · Hi all, Would appreciate opinions on my itinerary for a two week trip to Europe for my mom’s retirement. I have been reading these forums and I have a feeling the feedback I will get is this is too much, but I appreciate all perspectives. We will have 2 weeks. Flying into London, I know it...
