A request for older Italian records can raise practical questions for anyone dealing with civil status documentation in Italy, especially when the information being searched for predates the period in which municipal registries were formally kept.

Many people assume that buying a house in Italy automatically grants them the right to live there, but Italian immigration law works differently. Property ownership can be helpful in certain visa applications, yet it is not in itself a basis for residency.

If you need to buy property in Italy but can’t be physically present, giving power of attorney to an Italian lawyer can allow the process to move forward on your behalf.

People considering a move to Italy often ask what types of visas are available if they don’t qualify for Italian citizenship by descent. From the elective residency visa (sometimes called the retirement visa) to the investor visa, student visa, work visa, self-employment visa, and now even the digital nomad visa, each option has its own requirements and restrictions. Each of these visas comes with its own rules, making it important for non-EU citizens to see which path works for their move to Italy.
