Moving to Italy

it's perhaps a little late in the day given that your (final) departure is imminent-no? Actually the actual "moving" is pretty easy (one imagines that you'll have already organized electricity-telephone- internet-water connections/contracts for your house as these can take time...especially if you are not sited in a town) You'll need to register with the authorities if you're going to be resident means a trip (or ten) to the local municipalty...to the police you'll need to have your permit to stay....to the health authorities to enroll on the S.S.N.N. the national health system and choosing a local doctor, if you're not working you'll have to produce documentation concerning your financial situation and depending, a private health insurance.One presumes that you'll already have a bank,but would recomend a local bank which can offer home banking facilty.Apart from services to the house which you'll require from day one the other things you can do without a rush once here and having picked up some more detailed info from local people and you'll probably find a number of british es pats who can help you with some advice However if you will be working get your advice from those who work as life is very different for those who work and who are not here "on a pension" or the like. wish you best of luck.  

Hi there   Good luck with your adventure. Have a look at this website. Lots of info and helpful people   http://expatsinitaly.com P

Best wishes. What Sebastiano says is right. Keep in mind that any move or change is stressful. Not everything will go as planned. Keep up your spirits and, most important, don't try to compare your present experience with what you left behind. This is a new phase in your life.

Welcome to Marche......where are you moving to?. There are forum members living here, who I am sure will be happy to share experiences and give advice, and by the time you arrive it may have stopped raining!.

You'll love it here once you get over the local 'foibles'........... Have good trip, S

Hi Both, sounds like you are in a similar situation to ourselves! Our house is now finished after full renovation, just the outside to tackle now:-) We too are going to be relocating & leaving our grown up children in the Uk. Our move was planned for May 2014, however it looks like this will be brought forward to within the next 6 months. So really good luck to you both & hope everything goes smoothly for you. Where a outs in Le Marche will you be? Maxine & Peter
