Victor got his Italian Self-Employed Visa & Pays Only 5% Income Tax! | Live Your Dream Life in Italy

[@dlross173]

I’m going to move out there. I’m going back and forth between going as self-employed or as remote worker. I also have two dogs. I’m thinking about bringing my mom. She has a very slow, progressive ALS, like Stephen Hawkins, and she has Medicaid, Medicare, and three different income sources. My fear is mostly just getting out there and finding a place for me and my mom on the countryside. It would be nice to have a little land to grow a garden and perhaps have some chickens and room for my dogs to run. These videos inspire me.

[@BradsWorld]

You can find all that with ease! Good luck!

[@ricosalomar]

Thanks Victor!! As a vegetarian, I am in heaven when in Italy. Cant wait to get back.

[@BradsWorld]

You'll love it!

Love the interview thanks Brad and Victor , thoroughly enjoyed 💎💎🪽

[@BradsWorld]

Glad you liked it! 👍

GRAZIE Grazie grazie per questa videi! Loved it!

[@maggiedevlin6187]

Thanks Victor and Brad!

[@BradsWorld]

You are most welcome!

[@ArleneChernenko]

Very interesting presentation. Thank you to Victor!

[@jodidenby1695]

Thanks Guys! Really enjoyed that, love natural and alternative medicine also so was even better. Would be great to see more of these if you have the time Brad, especially with Aussie expats as our dollar is much different to the US dollar and Euro. When we convert it is much more expensive so we need to factor in a higher conversion rate. Keep the videos coming as I enjoy them immensely. :)

[@BradsWorld]

You got it! Thanks Mate! 😬🤣

I Love Montepulciano! I have spent extensive time there. I understand the city and have friends there. Yes, it’s touristic, but, after the busses leave for the evening….its your town again. Also, outside of the city walls, you are in the country. It’s a great location. I want to start exploring the south of Italy more (I know….totally different in landscape and function). I am more of a warm weather beach person….,so, we will see where I end up. This video was very interesting to me because I am especially interested in Functional Medicine. I will look into Victors Ayurvedic practice. It makes me happy to hear that you both are enjoying what the area has to offer. I thought I was done with Montepulciano because I want to go south…..but, you two make it hard to not stay in love with Montepulciano. I am vegetarian(pescatarian ) and even in the Meaty-est restaurant there…..I had an amazing meal. Thank you for sharing the love of Montepulciano.

[@BradsWorld]

It is a very special place and we love it here, so much so we’ve had friends move here too!

[@BlueCobalt]

Great info! Thanks Victor and Brad! I'm in the beginning stages of applying for the self-employment as a sustainable clothing designer/creator, and have been super stressed about my prospects. It was great hearing your story, Victor. Helped me feel calmer about my situation. I'm going to drop you an email. I found a lawyer in Italy I like a lot so far. 🙏 I was surprised how difficult it was to get accurate information about this visa online. Brad, I'm moving from Texas, and I emailed you recently about what I'm doing, and what I'm looking for in a property. Would love to schedule a virtual meeting with you soon. Thanks again gentlemen!

[@LunaeStelleMagic]

Blue again. I just joined your channel under this account, Brad. This is my clothing brand.

[@BradsWorld]

Great! Welcome aboard.

[@GracieOpulanza1]

Great interview. We know alot on this. As digital nomads we have been masters on this online working, way before COVID. I have 25yrs online experience. The process is utter a nightmare welcome to Italy. Exactly work with a lawyer and you may get there.😅 €5000 each OMG. But well done for perseverance on this. I hope it has all been worth it.

[@angeloavanti2538]

Thanks you guys. Yes, it is hurry up and wait but well worth the price of admission. Can't wait to get there.

[@BradsWorld]

You’re in for a treat!

Great interview!

Can you recommend the lawyer for 2k€

[@BradsWorld]

Write Victor. I don’t out their party emails out in comments. His email is in the video

[@LIZABETHSCHINSKY]

Hello Brad, I’m a retired teacher, I bought a house in Puglia. It’s being worked on. My husband is insistent on staying for 3 more years because of insurance and pension. I have a pension, he will have one. Can you please shoot some inspiring info to us that it’s okay to leave now? I want to be there so bad! I need to be there, my heart is breaking because I am not there. Please, watching this gives me hope that we can actually go now! Sell our place and go now!

[@sugarpienorman]

Puglia is next on my list. Where did you end up buying? Did you have a connection to the city you purchased in?

[@laurabushnell]

Thanks!

[@BradsWorld]

Thanks! (Said while sipping on a cappuccino!)

[@amymegginson-uz7jj]

Did I understand you say it takes a year to get your medical card? I thought it was three months. I'm thinking about using the residency visa by using my social security.

[@BradsWorld]

Took us more than a year. We need our Italian Green Card first. That’s the ERV. Victor got his faster because it’s a different kind of visa.

[@amymegginson-uz7jj]

BTW, great interview 👍

[@BradsWorld]

Thanks, I was really glad to have him on!

[@lorenlinck4345]

You speak of the 5% tax rate. My understanding is that only applies if your annual income is less than $65,000. Is that true?

[@mohananirudh5714]

Hi Brad i want to set up a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant in rural Italy. Is it viable in the long term?

[@BradsWorld]

No idea

[@obfuscateidentity2329]

Can You recommend the Italian lawyer for 2000 euros who can we contact?

[@BradsWorld]

Contact Victor directly on the email he left. I won’t post it here…

[@romaannegallant5654]

How do I contact you for advice, I have a very challenging question. I recently learned that Canadians can no longer buy a house in Italy. Is this true, I am just starting the process of looking for a place in the next year and move here permanently.

[@BradsWorld]

It is not that straight forward. Depends where it is and city size etc. Also there are work arounds. You can write me at [e-mail]

[@Dragonlord9]

do you still need to pay for USA income tax?

[@BradsWorld]

Yes... That is why I think people putting so much emphasis on moving to small desolate villages so they can get the 7% tax is a fool's errand to some degree. It just means there's more tax left over for you to get charged back in the US or other countries once you get done paying your Italian tax. You'll never be double taxed, but just because you pay lower tax here doesn't mean that your tax rate from the home country is going to change that much.

[@maggiedevlin6187]

Where is your closest hospital Brad?

[@BradsWorld]

Nottola. It’s about 8 mins max by car from Montepulciano. It is a new huge regional hospital.

[@maggiedevlin6187]

@@BradsWorld Thank you so much!

[@maggiedevlin6187]

@@BradsWorld Thank you so much. We are south of you, so this hospital is 45 minutes away. But a good option!

[@laurabushnell]

I am an author and life coach. How can I find the lawyer?

[@saintpreferred9223]

Life coach means you get paid for talking.

[@BradsWorld]

Write Victor at his email address in video. I’ll add it to the description too.

[@SR-gd7vt]

is there 5G internet in Montepulciano

[@BradsWorld]

We get 200 Down and about 20+ up. Don’t know if it’s 5G. I do know it’s €19/mo!

[@ToItalywithLove]

Thank you Victor!! I’m anxious to learn more about your practice but I can go vegan.

[@WeaponX2007A]

But he still has to file for taxes in the US unless he gives up his citizenship.

[@BradsWorld]

Yes. He said that he still has to pay in the US. Very few people give up citizenship.

[@TeresaCook-de6jo]

Yes you file but there is no double taxation between countries.

[@saintpreferred9223]

Ridiculous.

[@BradsWorld]

Stupendous.
