If you're planning to buy a car in Italy, whether you're a dual Italian citizen or an expat living in Italy as a foreign resident, there are a few things to keep in mind. The process can vary depending on your residency status. If you’re a non-resident, registering a car in your name can be challenging, but if you’ve established residency with a visa like the elective residency visa, it’s much easier. For non-residents, renting a car is often the best option. For expats planning to enjoy long-term life in Italy, understanding the rules around car ownership is key. 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 legal steps and considerations for purchasing a car in Italy as an international resident.
