In this episode of A New Life in Italy, I’m back with something really exciting — it’s Bootcamp season! Every year around this time, my inbox fills up with questions from people just like you who are dreaming about making the move to Italy. So I thought, why not answer some of the biggest ones right here on the podcast?
I’m diving into all the essentials you need to know if Italy is on your horizon. Things like visas (yes, including the tricky elective residency visa for retirees), what kind of income you really need to show, how healthcare works once you’re here, and the age-old question… should you rent first or go all in and buy?
We’ll also talk about what happens if you’re married to an EU citizen, the rules around driving in Italy (spoiler: you’ll need that international driver’s permit), and what it actually takes to be able to work legally once you arrive. I’ll even touch a little on the political climate, because I know that’s on some of your minds, but mostly to remind you to stay focused on your own move and your own new life.
Most importantly, this episode is your warm-up for the Move to Italy Bootcamp happening September 9th, 10th, and 11th, 2025. It’s three days of clarity, guidance, and real answers so you can stop wondering if this dream is possible and actually start planning it.
So, tune in, take notes, and then grab your spot at Bootcamp. I promise you, it’s the best first step you can take toward making Italy your home.
Grab Your Spot in the Bootcamp 2025!!
Ciao for now,
Samantha
