Session #1: Nick Metta, Attorney
The most important part of your dream of moving to Italy is permission to stay in Italy longer than 90 out of every 180 days and that comes with a visa or potentially Italian citizenship.
On Saturday, July 12 at noon ET/9 a.m. PT, attorney Nick Metta will walk us through the options and has been a frequent participant in our Dream of Italy How to Move to Italy Virtual Workshops.
As you may know, there have been many ups and downs and changes in the past few months in citizenship jure sanguinis. Do you have Italian blood? Do you know if you still qualify to have your Italian citizenship recognized? And if it is up in the air, do you know what to do next? Nick has the answers!
Nick will also walk us through visa options including the Elective Residency Visa and Digital Nomad Visa and share the latest in what minimum income is required as well as wait times for appointments and tips and tricks to make your application complete.
PLUS Nick is a tax expert. Do you know the best time of year to move to minimize your tax bill? Nick will share!

Session #2: Sean Carlos, Real Estate Agent
I dare you to find a more complete hour-long presentation about buying and renting property in Italy. That’s why I invite American-born real estate agent Sean Carlos to join our workshop again and again. You will have time to ask him direct questions during his session!
Buying a home in Italy is NOT the same process in buying one in the U.S. and there are pitfalls galore, but you can be armed with expert information from Sean. The man is thorough! On Saturday, July 19 at noon ET/9 a.m. PT Sean will join us live for our second session.
Sean will lay out the steps in choosing the ideal location for you to buy or rent – this is something many of struggle with, exactly where to land. He will explain why though it might be ideal to rent in some cases, you may have more options in Italy if you buy.
Americans are buying homes in Italy at the fastest pace ever – give yourself an advantage with Sean’s insider real estate advice!
