Questions Asked

My place is between Lakes Orta and Maggiore, and I have used Flybe in the past to fly from Birmingham to Milan Malpensa.

I have often advocated swinging up through Belgium when travelling from UK to Italy, on the grounds of the cheap petrol in Luxembourg and toll free motorways.

 

When driving to Italy, [Lake Maggiore area], from Calais, I almost always drive up towards Dunkirk and then head East towards Luxembourg. 

 

 

The reasons for doing so is simple:-

If you are driving down to Italy, this regularly updated AA site gives you the latest info on fuel prices across Europe.  Its useful for deciding where to fill up.

Thank for the information. 

One question  - the reference to vaccine bar codes, is this on the new NHS Covid Pass, or is it on something else? 

(Just had message from NHS that the Covid Pass is now available,  both electronic and paper version)

You must be joking?

Second clue.     Everton Football Club are also known as the Blues  -  their kit is coloured BLUE

(I think I'm losing the will to live!!!!!!!)

I think it's fair to say that each Comune has its own wY of dealing with bills.

I now use, as I say above, the Bank route.  Before that I used the IBAN BIC way - both have their faults.  ---  

My bank closed my branch and transferred me to a nearby branch, but forgot to pay the F24s, in the reorganisation process, until reminded, after the due date

When I used BIC IBAN route, I was contacted 6 years later, saying I hadn't paid one bill.  They had lost my email, but luckily I had a copy to send them.

So keep good records of what you do.

My Comune sends the F24s to me for paying bills - but I have to email the signed F24s to my Italian bank for payment to be made.

The Comune does have an online bill payment site, but at present 'foreigners ' can't use it - but they are working on how to let us do it.

So, in essence,  my advice is talk to the Comune, as every Comune seems to have different processes in place.

Go on - have a guess - what colour is their football kit???????

I think it is actually that the access has been (regularly?) used for 20 years.

I can't find anything that states what to do in your situation.
I'd suggest that you phone the Italian Embassy for advice on the matter.

Will you have to quarantine for 5 days at your place in Italy?  On theory, it looks like you should.

How will you get to Italy?

I thought that France, Germany and Italy had quarantine requirements on Brits, and no way through Switzerland.  Unless, of course, you have Italian residency.
