Hi there,I have been reading a discussion regarding moving to and settling in Italy. We travel to Italy frequently and love it but have no family history from Italy.
Hi there,Thank you for your very good advice. Much appreciated. We really don't want to break the ties with Australia. It is a wonderful stable country with a healthy economy and excellent standard of living and we would miss it too much to stay away too long.Ciao : )
HiThanks for your feedback. I had the impression that this was the case from a little research I had done. I thought it would be good to get confirmation from this forum or an alternative view. We could suvive without work but a little would be helpful. I am becoming more inclined to think that a 6 month or 12 month sojourn in Italy or 6 in Italy and 6 in France might be a better option for us.Cheers
Assumimg we decided to try this out what is the potential to work in Italy? I would be happy to try to just cover our rent on a modest apartment in a Village in Umbria, The Abruzzo or Marche region. I have good communication skills and extensive experience dealing with people in a broad range of roles over my professional career and was thinking that teaching English might provide some opportunities? Any thoughts anyone?Thanks,Cheers
Thanks evryone for your ideas and advice. Not sure if we really want to do this yet but we are thinking about it for sure. We have been fortunate to be able to visit Italy each year since 2009 and we are heading there agin at the end of July to do a driving holiday in The Abruzzo, Umbria and a little of Tuscany.Cheers : )
Thank you for your reply. I am retired and have a superannuation retirement income and will also be eligible for some pension from the Australian Government. I own my own home here in Australia which could be rented to provide additional income to pay for rent in Italy.Are you able to elaborate further on the Tax situation in Italy that you mentioned? I have Private Health Ins here at home and we are also covered here by our Medicare System (a kind of National Health Scheme). I'm not sure if Australia has reciprocal health arrangements with Italy. I know we do with some European Countries and the UK.Cheers.
Thanks very much for your reply.I am from Australia and I am actually retired. I am currently working part time to keep occuied but I have my retirement income, and own my own home.Cheers
I find the discussion generally fascinating. I am however uncertain as to how a person born and bred in one country can simply choose to move to and settle in another unless they are able to get citizenship. That would seem almost impossible unless you already have family ties either through your own parents or granparents. So for me this becomes nothing more than a a hypothetical issue. Am I missing something here?Cheers
