Italy is commonly regarded as high-tax jurisdiction, which makes it important to look for tax efficient ways to manage your financial planning. One popular solution for Italian residents with investment assets is to use a compliant tax wrapper as a vehicle for managing long-term investments.

Whether it has been your dream to move to live in Italy for a lifetime, or if you are moving here for another reason, below you will find a series of steps that you should ideally do before you arrive in Italy or immediately after you get here.

Planning ahead of your permanent move to Italy will ensure that your relocation to Italy will go as smoothly as possible.

Before You Arrive

Your Legal Status: Unless you have Italian or EU citizenship, you will need a visa / permit of stay to live and work legally in Italy.
Personal Documents: There are several documents required in Italy to legalize one’s status. Therefore, make sure that you have all of these, legalized and apostilled, if required, before moving to Italy.
Cost of Living: Unless you are moving to a third-tier city, life in the major markets like Rome and Milan, especially in terms of rent versus average salary is expensive.

When You Arrive

Tax Code: One of the first items that you will need to process is your Italian Tax Code (Codice Fiscale).
Home Search: Unless you will be staying with a friend or a relative, you will need to carry out a home search with a realtor or by looking at classifieds.

Town Hall Registration: All EU citizens who will reside in Italy for more than 90 days are obliged by law to register at their local Town Hall. Non-EU citizens, after they get their Work Permit & Permit of Stay, may also choose to become residents.

Relocating to Italy can be very exciting, but at the same time, it can present several obstacles and some challenging issues.

Driving in Italy
While driving in Italy, you need to keep to the right side of the road. Tourists visiting Italy from other EU member states can drive with their national license without the need of obtaining an International Driver’s License.

The legal age to drive in Italy is 18 years old, while 14-year-olds are permitted to drive a moped of motorcycle of 50cc up to a maximum speed of 45km/h.

Italian car rental companies do not rent to individuals under the age of 21 years of age.

In accordance with Italian law, if a resident of a Non-EU country such as the US or New Zealand violates a traffic law, the offender must pay the fine in the moment when it is issued. Failure to pay immediately may result in the police confiscating the vehicle.

International Driving Licenses

If one is coming to Italy with a Non-EU driving license, it would be advantageous to obtain an IND (International Driver’s License) before arriving. This can serve as an additional means of proof of identity and can be requested when renting a car.

NB: An IND is not a driving license – drivers must always keep with them their national, state-issued, or province or territory-issued driving license.

Permanent Residents (EU and Non-EU)

The US, Canada, and Australia do not have a national-issued license. Instead, each state, territory, or province issues its own license and Italy, more often than not, does not have an agreement with countries that issue their licenses at a local level.

In Italy, a license from a country, state, province, or territory with which Italy does not have a reciprocal agreement, is valid for one year from the time you request Italian residency.

Before the window of one year expires, if you wish to continue driving in Italy legally, you will need to take the Italian driving test. Unfortunately, this is only available in Italian (French and German are also available if you live in the Italian regions where these are official languages).

EU driving licenses can either be exchanged or validated at the Motor Vehicle Department (Motorizzazione) or a driving school – this is case-specific and needs to be looked at further.
