031: The Ultimate Guide to Moving to Ita...

DAVID BACH
About this episode

Welcome back to the podcast. Today, I'm interviewing my dear friend, Michele Capecchi!

Known as the Italian Legal Whisperer, Michele is an international lawyer who helps ex-pats (like myself) navigate the challenges of moving to Italy from other parts of the world. He's also recognized for his work securing dual citizenship for Americans with Italian heritage and has been doing this for 20+ years. 

Today, you'll learn the process for making an Italian move possible while avoiding the mistakes that hold so many people back from making their dreams of relocating to this beautiful country a reality. 

In this session, here’s what we cover: 

  • What options are available for people who want to live in Italy for longer than 90 days?
  • The downside to buying Italian property as a tourist
  • Why it's essential to hire an attorney when moving abroad.
  • How long does a visa application take?
  • What you must do in the first 8 days of moving to Italy to make your stay legal.  
  • How my one-year sabbatical turned into 4 years in Italy!
  • The process for investing in Italian real estate.
  • Why Italian banks aren't willing to give a mortgage to a foreigner—and the process for financing a property.
  • The process for operating your online business from Italy.
  • How Americans with Italian heritage can recover their citizenship.
  • The many advantages of having dual citizenship and a second passport.
