Look inside

Phase 1 of the Move Checklists

An actual page from the guide — six of the twelve-months-out steps.

  • Decide roughly where you're drawn to — north, central, or south — and why.
  • Take an off-season scouting trip; see a town in winter, not just August.
  • Choose your likely visa route: retirement, work, study, family, or digital nomad.
  • Total your reliable annual income and check it clears your visa's minimum, with margin.
  • Know how many days you can currently stay visa-free, and whether that's enough.
  • Start a dedicated buffer for deposits, fees, and the inevitable surprises.

What you're buying — and what you're not

What these guides are

  • Written against current Italian rules and consular practice — sourced from consulate document lists, comune and questura procedure, and Agenzia delle Entrate guidance.
  • Sequenced in the order the paperwork actually happens. The order of the steps, not just the facts, is the point.
  • Plain English throughout, with the Italian terms you'll actually be asked for at the counter.
  • 2026 editions, revised when the rules change — with a reader's discount on future editions if you've already bought.

What they're not

  • Not legal, tax or immigration advice. Italy Decoded is a publisher, not a law or tax firm — confirm your own case with a professional or the relevant authority.
  • Not a service. Nobody files anything for you; these guides show you exactly what to file, and in what order.
  • Not a guarantee of timelines. Consulates and comuni vary, and we say so where it matters.

Not sure which guide you need? Email us before you buy and we'll tell you straight — or read the free sample first. And if it isn't what you expected, you have 7 days to get your money back.
