10588 Advice for moving - residency?

Hi there,
My family and I, (wife and 2 children), will be moving to Italy next
year for 8 months.
Can anyone advice me please what documentation is required to do this?
We all have valid Irish passports. I will not be working in Italy. The
trip is an extended holiday. We have a house in Italy that I have
owned for 5 years.

Do I need to apply for some kind of Italian residency? Or do I simply
register with the Commune that the house is in?

Also, I will be buying a car while in Italy. Do I need particular
papers to do this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Not certain but if you are here for more than six months I think you need to go to your comune and register there.

As to buying a car, conflicting stories - some say you need residence others say you just need codice fiscale. Haven't had to do it myself but when we reregistered our UK car here they definitely wanted residency documents

The laws have changed in the last couple of years. Registering at the Comune is highly advised, not least for getting any schooling for children of school age. You may be surprised at the help they may offer.

By law you must register with the Anagraft at your local Comune after three months in Italy. You will need to take your passports and the deeds of your house. As you are not working you will probably be caught by the new laws on health insurance and will need to show, by producing a policy that is valid for at least a year that you and your family have private health cover, unless you are entitled to one of the E forms - E106, E109 (or E37), E120, E121 (or E33) - which you should apply for in the UK before leaving. You will also need to sign a self-certificate declaring you have sufficient income to support yourselves during your stay.

Thanks Charlotte...it always feels so much better getting advice from a solicitor!!! Really appreciate it. Ciao.

Actually, does anyone know do I need to make an appointment with the Anagraft (what is this???) at my local Comune or can I just turn up and take a number kind of thing? And can I go see them for residency 3 months before I make the move to Italy? I want to do this as I'm told I need residency to buy a car and I'm intending to buy a car whilst there in 2 weeks, but not moving until January.

It is the anagrafe or registry office of births, deaths and marriage. Part of your comune.

We are resident in Italy and receently bought a second hand car from a dealership near Sarzana which accepted my wife's ID and Codice Fiscale. i.e. there was no need to prove residency.

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Hi Ronan

Have you been into the Municipio in Licciana yet? They have only just got computers. They still use an old mechanical adding machine to work out my 'ICI'. I am not sure where the 'Anagrafe' is in the building or it may even be in one of the satalite offices situated in a house somewhere in Licciana. But remember all the offices close to the public at 11.30am

Hope the move goes well. We are over on 11th February for 2 weeks so you must pop up and see us[/FONT]
