Hey there, dreamers and doers! It's your go-to guide for all things Italian,we are back with another episode of "A New Life in Italy."

This week, we dove deep into the golden opportunity that is the Italian Investor Visa. If you've been fantasizing about sipping espresso in a quaint piazza or exploring the rolling hills of Tuscany, but you're not quite ready to retire or don't have that sweet passive income that you need for an ERV, then perk up your ears because this episode is for you!

The Italian version of the Investor Visa, also known as the Golden Visa, is Italy's best-kept secret for those looking to extend their stay or work in Italy without the strings of residency or retirement. I broke down the nitty-gritty details, from the investment options (hello, 250,000 euros in an innovative startup or 500,000 euros in an established company) to the perks of this visa, like bringing your family along, working in Italy, and not being tied down to a specific residency period.

But wait, there's more! We also tackled the process and timeline, so you can plan your move without the guesswork. And for those of you wondering about the risks, I covered what happens if your investment goes south (spoiler: it's not as scary as you think).

To wrap things up, I answered some burning listener questions about the Elective Residency Visa, working remotely (spoiler: it's a no-go), and the ins and outs of driving in Italy with a foreign license.

So, if you're itching to make Italy your new playground and think my favorite Visa is right for you, head over to smartmoveitaly.com/investorvisa for the full scoop.

And remember, whether you're looking to stay for a year or a lifetime, I'm here to help you navigate the journey to your Italian dream.
