HOW TO GET AN ITALIAN VISA, BUY A PROPERTY, STUDY ITALIAN OR FIND A JOB AND MOVE TO ITALY

Buongiorno. So many of you have asked me for advice on this topic of study visas, getting a European passport if you have Italian parents or grandparents, buying a property in Italy and handling all the documents, consulate meetings, red tape, process times and hoops one has to jump through to legally move to Italy, study the language, buy a property and make a new life here. This episode I interview an Italian lawyer, Michele Capecchi, who gives a wealth of information and advice for everyone who is dreaming of moving to Italy. You can find his law firm here: www.capecchilegal.com/ Making these episodes alone is very time consuming and expensive and if you would like to support my work, you can find my Patreon page here:

You can find my recipes and other information on moving to Italy, learning Italian or my filmmaking equipment on my website:

Please don't follow me on Facebook as that person is not me - they have stolen my identity for the past few years. You can follow me over on Instagram for daily inspiration from Italy and around the world to make you dream, learn a language, cook, travel, move to a foreign country, film, edit or pursue your passion:

Thank you for watching! If you have any questions regarding the subjects in this video, please DO NOT email me directly. Instead, leave your question in the comments below so that I can collate all the queries in one place and also see if your question is liked by others to make a shortlist of the most common questions for a Part 2 video. I made this episode in response to the hundreds of emails I get every week about the challenging visa process. I know how frustrating this whole experience can be but it's worth it in the end, so don't give up!!

I found this very interesting to watch and thank you so much for putting this on KZbin, I am looking to buy a house in Italy or France soon and it has made me aware there is a lot to sort before hand. I hope to retire out there one day but as we are now out of the EU in the UK it will only entitle me to stay 90 days in 180 days . My partner is of French descendent found out via his father who did a family tree and so now he may be able to obtain residency in France if they will allow or do you know if this is something only allowed in Italy? I would be grateful for your advise. Love watching all you video's Angela xx

[@GeraldPantalone]

Kylie, Grazie per queso video. All of my grandparents were born in Italy but in areas where I have not visited. I looked into becoming a citizen, but came to the conclusion I did not qualify. This video gave me hope I could be wrong. IF you do a Part 2 I would appreciate advice as to how to proceed and even an estimate of cost.

[@loveandlondon]

I really admire how well you help people dream but also give them the reality of that dream Kylie. It's a hard balance to strike! As an American who lived in Italy I hope people understand just how difficult it is to do this and I get frustrated when it's presented by other creators as that they're "living the dream" and everything is perfect... They don't show the tears, frustration, thousands and thousands of dollars/pounds spent, etc just to be able to get there... And then it all starts over again when you try to rent a property, send mail abroad, renew your permesso etc. Loved this interview, really well done ❤️

[@KylieFlavell]

Thank you! Yes, I feel that frustration with how the full spectrum isn’t always shared too. Thank you for noticing this. It’s quite delicate to inspire and give people hope but also prepare them for the reality. 😊

[@UndertheTuscanSun]

​@@KylieFlavell I understand the frustration but I don't think EU immigration rules are the most strict in the world. Have you ever tried emigrating to US/Australia? Good luck : )

[@lark-ellenkeary3753]

I'm going to take this as a sign to take the chance of studying abroad in Florence. I was so determined at first but as I was finally getting started with the process, I started to feel doubt and fear. But having had such a tough year mentally, I realized that it's videos like this that restore my faith and determination to just go for my dreams.

[@stephanie64687]

Hi! I’m curious if you did go to study abroad in Florence? 🤗

[@flyingcheff]

One more comment: Michele Capecchi was wonderful in this interview, I would definitely feel confident in this legal expert's practice, competency, and acumen! I hope he receives many referrals from this film. Amazing job you did with this, Kylie, such succinct questions and answers. This is excellent! I can't wait to hear numero due!

[@claudiofoiadelli8721]

senza parole. Questo video dovrebbe essere trasmesso sulle reti RAI come materiale divulgativo. Utilissimo, la materia è complessa, ma l'intervistato l'ha resa limpida. Davvero brava Kylie per come realizzi i tuoi documentari e ignobile il fatto che qualcuno, che dovrebbe essere professionista nell'informazione, ignori questa tua capacità di parlare e approfondire argomenti complessi rendendoli fruibili a tutti. ragazza sei davvero in gamba !!!!!!!!

[@paulfreitag7772]

Thank you Kylie for this video! As an American who is looking to move to Florence later this year it was very informative. The 1st part of the video regarding the Student Visas was the best for me. It confirmed for me that I am doing and following the correct steps to obtain a Student Visa. When doing all the research by yourself and watching videos, reading articles, etc. you "believe" that you are doing the right things. But now I KNOW that I am correctly following the steps and know what I need to obtain my Student Visa later this year. My school (Parola in Florence) is accepted by the government and I can work up to 20 hours per week. So, again grazie for another GREAT video and one that affected me personally! ❤🇮🇹 Paul

[@KylieFlavell]

Thank you so much Paul. Yes, I know all about that feeling when you’re researching for years alone and HOPING you’re doing everything correctly.

I hope that as people consider a move to Italy or wherever their heart takes them, that they will follow your lead by learning the language and embracing the culture. As wonderful as these opportunities are, it makes me sad to think of Italian losing ground to English and Italy becoming Americanized. I'm sorry to be pessimistic because this video is helpful and motivating and beautiful like everything you do. Please let's protect this beautiful country, Italy.

[@josiemullings4536]

Wow thank you kylie for this video, this is exactly what i am going through right now!! .I am english and have been living in tuscany for 8 years. I have tried many times to get my Visa over that time for various reasons! I am now married to an Italian with a baby. I was trying to get my residency again at the end of last year before Brexit went through but was denied because I changed my surname to my italian husband's. Changing your surname in italy is highly unusual in Italy so I had to get a statuary declaration from a change of deed firm. It then needed an appostile from the uk government and then a certified translation. I am going through this now so hopefully this is the last hoop I have to go through before re-applying with the questura. My story may help some of your viewers as I had no idea how to obtain this info before going though the process as there was no information online and even my italian lawyers didn't know what to do. I hope this could help someone that wants to move here and has changed their name! Thank you so much for your wonderful videos! Xx
