Thank you for watching! If you have any questions regarding the subjects in this video, please DO NOT email me directly. Instead, leave your question in the comments below so that I can collate all the queries in one place and also see if your question is liked by others to make a shortlist of the most common questions for a Part 2 video. I made this episode in response to the hundreds of emails I get every week about the challenging visa process. I know how frustrating this whole experience can be but it's worth it in the end, so don't give up!! If you are interested in learning more about Michele's law firm, you can find his site here: www.capecchilegal.com/
I found this very interesting to watch and thank you so much for putting this on RUclips, I am looking to buy a house in Italy or France soon and it has made me aware there is a lot to sort before hand. I hope to retire out there one day but as we are now out of the EU in the UK it will only entitle me to stay 90 days in 180 days . My partner is of French descendent found out via his father who did a family tree and so now he may be able to obtain residency in France if they will allow or do you know if this is something only allowed in Italy? I would be grateful for your advise. Love watching all you video's Angela xx
Kylie, Grazie per queso video. All of my grandparents were born in Italy but in areas where I have not visited. I looked into becoming a citizen, but came to the conclusion I did not qualify. This video gave me hope I could be wrong. IF you do a Part 2 I would appreciate advice as to how to proceed and even an estimate of cost.
I'm going to take this as a sign to take the chance of studying abroad in Florence. I was so determined at first but as I was finally getting started with the process, I started to feel doubt and fear. But having had such a tough year mentally, I realized that it's videos like this that restore my faith and determination to just go for my dreams.
One more comment: Michele Capecchi was wonderful in this interview, I would definitely feel confident in this legal expert's practice, competency, and acumen! I hope he receives many referrals from this film. Amazing job you did with this, Kylie, such succinct questions and answers. This is excellent! I can't wait to hear numero due!
I really admire how well you help people dream but also give them the reality of that dream Kylie. It's a hard balance to strike! As an American who lived in Italy I hope people understand just how difficult it is to do this and I get frustrated when it's presented by other creators as that they're "living the dream" and everything is perfect... They don't show the tears, frustration, thousands and thousands of dollars/pounds spent, etc just to be able to get there... And then it all starts over again when you try to rent a property, send mail abroad, renew your permesso etc. Loved this interview, really well done ❤️
Thank you! Yes, I feel that frustration with how the full spectrum isn’t always shared too. Thank you for noticing this. It’s quite delicate to inspire and give people hope but also prepare them for the reality. 😊
@@KylieFlavell I understand the frustration but I don't think EU immigration rules are the most strict in the world. Have you ever tried emigrating to US/Australia? Good luck : )
@@KylieFlavell Thank you so much for this episode! This clarifies what many of your viewers need to know to make plans for their individual situations. I am happy to hear there are options for those who may not plan on spending all year in Italy, but maybe big chunks of a year.
Thank you Kylie for this video! As an American who is looking to move to Florence later this year it was very informative. The 1st part of the video regarding the Student Visas was the best for me. It confirmed for me that I am doing and following the correct steps to obtain a Student Visa. When doing all the research by yourself and watching videos, reading articles, etc. you "believe" that you are doing the right things. But now I KNOW that I am correctly following the steps and know what I need to obtain my Student Visa later this year. My school (Parola in Florence) is accepted by the government and I can work up to 20 hours per week. So, again grazie for another GREAT video and one that affected me personally! ❤🇮🇹 Paul
Kylie, this was incredible! This lawyer is actually friends with one of my dear friends who also lives in Florence. She connected us so Michele could help me understand all that I’ll need to do when I marry my Italian fiancé (soon!). We live in Manhattan now but so wish to move to Italy. I’m taking this video as a sign based on all the things you covered. I’m delighted that this is the video you released today after having had a really long chat with my beau regarding when/how we will move. Plus, my great grandmother is born/raised in Palermo, so I’m also looking to take the citizenship path too ♥️♥️♥️ So happy - blessings to you always! Xx
You'll see, if you like you can spend all your life traveling every weekend in a different Italian city or village and even in all your life you wouldn't be able to visit everything you have to see here. I don't like Italian mind, but I can say it's a wonderful Country.
Thank you Kylie! I’m studying Italian in school and have been enamoured with Italy for years. I’ve just started college and I’m going to spend my Erasmus in Italy I hope . After that I really feel my spiritual home is Italy and I really want to live there for good. This is so helpful and all your videos are so beautiful and make me so so excited to move. I honestly feel like I’m not living until I get to Italy 😿 Thank you so much for the time and care you took to make this , it’s just so special xxxxx
Wow thank you kylie for this video, this is exactly what i am going through right now!! .I am english and have been living in tuscany for 8 years. I have tried many times to get my Visa over that time for various reasons! I am now married to an Italian with a baby. I was trying to get my residency again at the end of last year before Brexit went through but was denied because I changed my surname to my italian husband's. Changing your surname in italy is highly unusual in Italy so I had to get a statuary declaration from a change of deed firm. It then needed an appostile from the uk government and then a certified translation. I am going through this now so hopefully this is the last hoop I have to go through before re-applying with the questura. My story may help some of your viewers as I had no idea how to obtain this info before going though the process as there was no information online and even my italian lawyers didn't know what to do. I hope this could help someone that wants to move here and has changed their name! Thank you so much for your wonderful videos! Xx
Finally something straight forward! 😅I’ve been researching for days with various responses and information. Thank you and Mr. Capecchi for making this insightful and helpful video.
This is the most amazing, important, insightful, helpful, beloved, beautiful thing you have done for us. It’s so thoughtful because we all need to understand and learn from your experience. This needs to be shared with all of our friends!!
Thank you sooo much for your nice comments! Share it! The more you share the easier will be for people to get oriented and avoid many of the pitfalls and hidden surprises that they encounter when they arrive in Italy or decide to buy a property in Italy. And if you have specific questions don’t hesitate to contact us at legal@capecchilegal.com
Thank you so much for your comment! It really means a lot to me to know that what I say is sufficiently clear and useful to avoid unpleasant surprises when people finally decide to move to Italy!
Go Kylie....super informative for people and it comes with a built in connection to Michele who can help guide one through the process.....good show...
I am glad that you did this video. I have been thinking about moving my life to Italy. All of my work is done through virtual meetings. So I can live and work anywhere. Florence is my goal. This video gave me information and a good legal contact in Italy. Thank you.
Grazie mille Kylie!!! Abito e sono nato in Canada (Toronto) con genitori da Friuli. Spero un giorno di traslocare nel bel paese. Mi hai aiutato moltissimo!
Thank you Kylie. It was so kind of you to make this video. There is a lot you can’t find online now you have given us the details of a reputable law firm it will prove very helpful. We need someone whom we can trust. Thank you again.❤️
Priscilla, feel free to email us anytime at legal@capecchilegal.com and I’ll be happy to respond to your questions. Mention Kylie’s video, when you contact us! Cheers!
A subscriber from India. Kylie it is really a very helpful and informative video. Italy is my dream country. I love it. I think Sicily has an incredible aura which pulls me towards it. I will certainly visit Italy and Sicily on travel Visa. Thank you so much for this valuable video. 🇮🇪 🇮🇳
Amazing Kylie i went back you sound more british than Australian in the english accent. I love how you have embraced Italian culture and your love of Firenze and surrounds. I visited my family in Italy Abruzzo (land of the mountains) and pre-covid i just love it .
I never considered living in Italy before watching your videos. Such thorough and fair advice helps one consider things they previously dismissed as too wild a dream! Thank you!
Hello Kylie, thank you, thank you for your wonderful videos. I am a Uruguayan living in New York for 20 years, 3 years ago I fulfilled my dream "Under the Tuscan sun" and I fell in love. Last March I was going to plan my next trip to Italy and it wasn't possible.But we spent our quarantine days enjoying your videos.I ended up falling in love.I enjoy them a lot, they give me peace, happiness, hope and also a lot of interesting information! Thank you Thank you I hope this September 2021 can be there ... Sardegna is waiting for us. I can't wait for every Friday to see the new video! ❤️
I am very fortunate to have acquired Italian citizenship through my great grandfather. The next step is to acquire property and move there. This was extremely helpful in knowing what to expect and how complicated the process is. I'll be sure to get an lawyer involved when the time comes.
Kylie!! You are a wonderful resource to the travelling gypsy in all of us. I, however will alway live in Canada but your videos remind me weekly to open my eyes and look around at the beauty I take for granted. Beautiful video. Much love xx🇨🇦
The timing is perfect !! I will be moving to Italy for a research program soon. Kylie, I hope our paths cross effortlessly ❤️ Thank you for this video :)
My goal is to move to Tuscany/ Florence in the next 5-7 years. My boyfriend and I studied abroad there our first year of college & it was truly magical. I hope we make it happen!!!🌻 love your videos Kylie ♥️
Well done Kylie. Not the most visually interesting topic but your art direction and cutaways make it very watchable. The most important thing here is to contact a local lawyer and make sure to do your homework before you leap. Message received
Wow, it's really exciting to see my country from another point of view. Wow, where I live? We can't see it often and that's so sad. I live in another beautiful coast of Italy, the one where there is also Portofino, Liguria. Thank you for your beautiful videos about my home and my origin, really thank you. You made my day!
What a beautiful place, I'm glad these strict rules are in place for properties and their landscapes. I will definitely buy a place in Italy, near the lakes, one day!
Very well done video. I am Portuguese and I know many people(expats) are moving to Lisbon and I think your video answers a lot of questions on how to prepare when moving to another country.
Hi Kylie. Your videos are always beautifully filmed and wonderfully engrossing; this episode is no exception. Anyone who is contemplating a move to Italy to retire for example would do well to watch this. My wife and I have settled in Lucca this padt September from Canada after many years of dreaming and more importantly, planning our move. It seems daunting at first and to be sure there are a lot of moving pieces in play as well as details that seem to be... well... backwards. But as you’ve skillfully pointed out the rewards for running the consulate’s gauntlet and bearing with the immigration bureaucracy are worth it in the end. We are so happy to have made the move and are now just waiting for our Permessi di Sogiorno. I would add that even though the pandemic is a horrible and tiring affair it has afforded us the additional “free time” to immerse ourselves in language lessons with our teacher. Thank you for your wonderful channel ❤️
Please let me know if you and your wife would ever be interested in meeting for a chat on camera. I have so many Canadian followers who I’m sure would love to hear more of your story.
Hi Kylie. If you feel sharing our experience would help other Canadians realize their dream of retiring in Italy then we would be pleased to pay it forward. ☺️
@@stevehaire6181 Amazing. Thank you. If you could send me an email to kylie@bottegaflavell.com I would love to know when might suit for me to come to you in Lucca. But of course, if you’d prefer not to share your story publicly I completely understand so please don’t feel obliged. 😊
Thank you for another great video! You and Michele answered a bunch of questions that I've been researching the last couple of weeks. Helping me keep my dream alive!
This was so helpful, thank you! And really interesting to learn about the different options - I had no idea there was the option to apply for a visa that isn't for working, providing you've got enough money saved / coming in from passive sources. Also very interesting to learn that the Italian heritage can now come through the female side as well; I had been told it was only paternal, but if it's maternal as well then that's something I could look into. (My mum's side of the family has Italian heritage; think it's my great-grandfather that was Italian). So this was all incredibly helpful & fascinating, thank you so much! 💜
Excellent information. What I get from this, and other videos I've watched, is that you need to plan, plan, plan. Make a timeline, make sure you have all your documents in order before you start the process, and make sure you have all your other ducks in a row.
This was great! So much great information. I do have citizenship so that makes things easier but the dream of buying a home in Italy still seems daunting. So it's great to have a resource that I can connect with. Thanks for putting this together!
Submitted my jure sanguinis to the New York consulate in November ... possible wait time is up to 2 years ... but who knows with Covid. I was not able to attend the face-to-face at the consulate due to the disease; I can’t wait to be recognized.
Kylie, YOU HAVE A GREEK MOTHER ?! So wonderful, I feel even closer to you!!! Very good video by the way-very similar to Greece. I admire your work and I'd like to do the same for life in Greece. I am Greek-Canadian...I've also lived in Rome a while back. I know all these legal issues you are discussing. It really was challenging for me to stay for more than a year, even though I loved Italy. I'm happy to have chosen to live in Greece (for me) on the Athens riviera, it's so nice, I hope you come to visit. I'll host you & we can go filming !
Thank you so much for creating and uploading this very useful video Kylie. Italy is one of my favourite country in Europe. Hopefully after this pandemic time I can go back to Italy. Grazie mille mio caro amico. si prega di fare attenzione e stare al sicuro.
This is absolutely spectacular! I will be applying to the University of Padova in January and need to start looking at visa requirements to study for 2 years with my masters and then to continue living there after and working
Without a doubt, this was the most informative video I have ever come across relative to Italian Visa requirements and more importantly Citizenship. Wonderful Job! Bravo!
Kylie, this was fantastic! Great information but the interview and his points of view are priceless. It’s much like those trying to move to Portugal... which I’m very familiar with. Grazie/Obrigada xoxo
This video is among the best I've watched regarding this process. I will be contacting Michele's firm when I make this move. Your videos are so inspiring in these confusing times. Thank you very much.
Excellent information...I've actually looked at the idea of coming over and living/buying property in at least one village where they are paying citizens from other countries to move and re-populate that village and they can get paid...The requirements are that you have a business to offer and there may be age restrictions...what a great find with this information!
Thank you, Kylie...I'll contact Signore Capecchi per Golden Visa (Elective in italia) and/or any investment/property matters in italia...brava! Michele provides excellent advice and tips...i just bookmarked his site. So now we know where Signorina Kylie gets her Mediterranean look and open, passionate nature - Greek mom! Yay
Absolutely beautiful video of the ups and downs of life, thanks for sharing this with those of us that watch your channel. Outstanding job. Well done young lady.
Its very interesting...and you can completely understand why there are certain rules etc in place.....speaking Italian would be most beneficial ...thanks for sharing 😘
I have fond memories of living in Italy as a child in the 80s. The smell of honey sickle in the spring but now I wouldn’t live there. I did extended stays before my Italian Dad became too elderly and Italy wore thin after about a week.
Thank you Kylie and Michele, for sharing your vast experience and detailed knowledge - great collaboration. Michele's quick detailed replies should make it quite evident - a good lawyer is a good insurance for making dreams reality (instead of possible nightmares). Even for an EU citizen, like myself, this long informative session was quite helpful, both generally and especially for insight into a few specific matters. Kylie, your valuable experience and insights so eloquently detailed and professionally delivered - always a pleasure to witness. I'm looking forward to the next episode. Btw, happy for your Greek passport
Buongiorno Kylie, thank you very much for the video. It has be very informative!! I would love to move to Italy, one day. Your video definitely answers a few questions!! All your videos are wonderful! Keep up the exceptional work!!
Thanks for this, really good. I’m going through the ‘settling down’ process right now and the bureaucracy here challenges you, for sure, even as a European citizen.😄 I just left Germany with two suitcases and a dream, like about six weeks ago, and moved to Rome.😊 There were a couple of general requirements, applicable to everyone, that were new to me, especially in regards to property, so big thanks for the informative insights, Kylie.🤓📝🍷I’m currently trying to get my tessera sanitaria, and it’s a nightmare when you’re still in kind of a ‘limbo situation’.😅 But I’m getting there.😁
Hi by the seaside. I am German as well and have been living in the USA for the past 30 years. I am contemplating of retiring in Italy in 7 years. Do you know the requirements for a German wanting to live/retire in Italy. Do we also need a visa? I would love it if you could share some information and your experience. Thanks and good luck to you. Where in Italy did you move?
@@KMarkus00 Hi, with the dual citizen-ship that you have, I guess, it would probably be easier, as you’re born in Germany. Best would be to check with the German consulate in the Italian city of your choice. Good luck💚
Yes to both I'll love to travel to my farther land and I would love to speak fluent Italy. My disability, I have it'll make that an impossible dream to reach!
Grazie per il video informativo Kylie! Si conferma che siamo sulla strada giusta con i nostri piani di andare in pensione in Italia. Tutto il nostro amore!
Greek mother???? Wow!!! That’s why you remind me myself many times...! I’m Greek and I live in USA for 6 years. Greek blood is unique ❤️❤️ I admire your talent!!!
holy crap i just realized u just posted this video this morning (im in American East coast time), literally last night and this morning i was thinking about how i would apply for a citizenship or visa for italy and as i was getting up this morning i was thinking how i want to take first steps to look into how that would work. my grandparents were from there, and my great aunt and cousins r still in trieste so im wondering if they allow for citizenship easier if u have family there etc. thanks for the vid, very helpful if not at the least encouraging and comforting to hear a bit about the process from someone who's experienced it
Ciao Annie! Reacquiring the Italian citizenship will be one of the most incredible achievements ever! And the benefit of becoming not only Italian citizen but also European Union Citizen are countless! Feel free to contact me directly at legal@capecchilegal.com providing some basic info of your background and I’ll be happy to answer to your questions! Cheers! Michele
Moving to Italy seems really hard, the paperwork and complexity of government....when you talked about that little room you can't change even inside- I get it but it does feel restrictive for those not used ot that.
It’s incredible how many times foreigners give more visibility to small things in Italy than people living there... especially with the view of the dream that I think any Italian has at the end inside but for example problems of the life as now economy is hiding
Thank you for this video! If you make a part 2 could you focus more on acquiring citizenship while still in your home country, for example Canada through jure sanguinis
Ciao Christina, the application in your home country (via Italian Consulate) is possible in many cases...But not always. If you would like to have more details on this process and the benefits that having an Italian passport entails, feel free to write me at legal@capecchilegal.com
Id be hiring his firm to find my lineage! Such great info!!! I have a great great grandmother from Italy but I read it was only paternal so i never looked further, but now I have an avenue to research if I can regain my citizenship! I am SOOO glad you guys covered that. Oh thank you both a million

hmmmm are we going to hear wedding bells kylie lol
very interesting thankyou
Hye I'm big fan of you my dear ...
I realize how lucky I am to be European
Everything that make Italy fantastic to be, makes it impossible to live (let alone apply for anything)....
If I was a European I'd visit all countries in the EU
As a Brit, I wish the rest of my country could understand this
Nah for real yall are blessed. Ive been in love with Europe since I was young. Im working on making that move.
yesss - very lucky🍀

@Eloise I feel EXACTLY the same way
If you're ethnicity isn't italian then Italy will never be your home and you will never be true italian. Italy is for the italian race only.

Last March I was going to plan my next trip to Italy and it wasn't possible.But we spent our quarantine days enjoying your videos.I ended up falling in love.I enjoy them a lot, they give me peace, happiness, hope and also a lot of interesting information! Thank you Thank you I hope this September 2021 can be there ... Sardegna is waiting for us. I can't wait for every Friday to see the new video! ❤️
Thank you so much, sweet Veronica!!
Ah, I know this is going to be good. Taking notes.
Hi
I am very fortunate to have acquired Italian citizenship through my great grandfather. The next step is to acquire property and move there. This was extremely helpful in knowing what to expect and how complicated the process is. I'll be sure to get an lawyer involved when the time comes.
Kylie!! You are a wonderful resource to the travelling gypsy in all of us.
I, however will alway live in Canada but your videos remind me weekly to open my eyes and look around at the beauty I take for granted.
Beautiful video. Much love xx🇨🇦
Thank you Amanda!
The timing is perfect !! I will be moving to Italy for a research program soon. Kylie, I hope our paths cross effortlessly ❤️
Thank you for this video :)
Hi
My goal is to move to Tuscany/ Florence in the next 5-7 years. My boyfriend and I studied abroad there our first year of college & it was truly magical. I hope we make it happen!!!🌻 love your videos Kylie ♥️
Good luck Cassity!!
Thank you Kylie! This video is worth gold. Living in Italy one day, short term or long term, is my chiodo fisso.
What an amazing knowledgeable man. A very useful video for anyone thinking of a move to Italy thanks for this Kylie looking forward to part 2
Nice work Kylie :) Note to Michele: You website analytics must be through the roof today ;)
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! So incredibly helpful!! As always, stunning cinematography!
Thank you dear Nancy!
Phenomenal Kylie.. Mille Grazie for this informative and beautifully well done! Cheers~
Thank you for being honest with us Kylie!
Well done Kylie. Not the most visually interesting topic but your art direction and cutaways make it very watchable. The most important thing here is to contact a local lawyer and make sure to do your homework before you leap. Message received
Beautiful video - With Italian tax being a MAJOR challenge.
This is seriously the most helpful video I’ve ever found on these matters
Wow, it's really exciting to see my country from another point of view. Wow, where I live? We can't see it often and that's so sad. I live in another beautiful coast of Italy, the one where there is also Portofino, Liguria. Thank you for your beautiful videos about my home and my origin, really thank you. You made my day!
What a beautiful place, I'm glad these strict rules are in place for properties and their landscapes. I will definitely buy a place in Italy, near the lakes, one day!
Very well done video. I am Portuguese and I know many people(expats) are moving to Lisbon and I think your video answers a lot of questions on how to prepare when moving to another country.
Hi Kylie. Your videos are always beautifully filmed and wonderfully engrossing; this episode is no exception. Anyone who is contemplating a move to Italy to retire for example would do well to watch this.
My wife and I have settled in Lucca this padt September from Canada after many years of dreaming and more importantly, planning our move. It seems daunting at first and to be sure there are a lot of moving pieces in play as well as details that seem to be... well... backwards. But as you’ve skillfully pointed out the rewards for running the consulate’s gauntlet and bearing with the immigration bureaucracy are worth it in the end. We are so happy to have made the move and are now just waiting for our Permessi di Sogiorno. I would add that even though the pandemic is a horrible and tiring affair it has afforded us the additional “free time” to immerse ourselves in language lessons with our teacher. Thank you for your wonderful channel ❤️
Thank you Steve! Lucca is such a wonderful area. Thank you for sharing your experience. 🙏
Please let me know if you and your wife would ever be interested in meeting for a chat on camera. I have so many Canadian followers who I’m sure would love to hear more of your story.
Hi Kylie. If you feel sharing our experience would help other Canadians realize their dream of retiring in Italy then we would be pleased to pay it forward. ☺️
@@stevehaire6181 Amazing. Thank you. If you could send me an email to kylie@bottegaflavell.com I would love to know when might suit for me to come to you in Lucca. But of course, if you’d prefer not to share your story publicly I completely understand so please don’t feel obliged. 😊
@@KylieFlavell good morning . EmIl is on its way 😌
Thank you for another great video! You and Michele answered a bunch of questions that I've been researching the last couple of weeks. Helping me keep my dream alive!
Thanks for your comments and nice words! Pursue your dreams and come! And if you need some more details and guidance don’t hesitate to contact us!
This was so helpful, thank you! And really interesting to learn about the different options - I had no idea there was the option to apply for a visa that isn't for working, providing you've got enough money saved / coming in from passive sources.
Also very interesting to learn that the Italian heritage can now come through the female side as well; I had been told it was only paternal, but if it's maternal as well then that's something I could look into. (My mum's side of the family has Italian heritage; think it's my great-grandfather that was Italian).
So this was all incredibly helpful & fascinating, thank you so much!
💜
Thank you! Best Video I've seen on this topic. Can't wait for things to open up again.
Wow this feels meant to be, Studying in Italy has been on my mind a lot lately so this video came just in time!
This is probably the most helpful and informative video on the subject.
Thank you so much.
Kylie, your not so much of a dream catcher, but very much more of a dream maker
Excellent information. What I get from this, and other videos I've watched, is that you need to plan, plan, plan. Make a timeline, make sure you have all your documents in order before you start the process, and make sure you have all your other ducks in a row.
Contacting Michele ASAP! My nono was born in Italy and I want an Italian passport! Had no idea they could go back 150 years, amazing!
This was great! So much great information. I do have citizenship so that makes things easier but the dream of buying a home in Italy still seems daunting. So it's great to have a resource that I can connect with. Thanks for putting this together!
What an amazingly helpful and detailed video! Honestly, the best on RUclips 👏
Grazie tante!
Just the information I need it Kylie🙌🏻 You are absolutely wonderful 💞Now I know how to make my dream come true. I am your fan.
Submitted my jure sanguinis to the New York consulate in November ... possible wait time is up to 2 years ... but who knows with Covid.
I was not able to attend the face-to-face at the consulate due to the disease; I can’t wait to be recognized.
Your videos to me are sessions of therapy ♥️♥️♥️♥️
♥️♥️♥️♥️
Kylie, YOU HAVE A GREEK MOTHER ?! So wonderful, I feel even closer to you!!! Very good video by the way-very similar to Greece. I admire your work and I'd like to do the same for life in Greece. I am Greek-Canadian...I've also lived in Rome a while back. I know all these legal issues you are discussing. It really was challenging for me to stay for more than a year, even though I loved Italy. I'm happy to have chosen to live in Greece (for me) on the Athens riviera, it's so nice, I hope you come to visit. I'll host you & we can go filming !
I think, as aDoc film maker myself - that you can do more of these interviews with other interesting people in Italy.
This is just the information I am looking for!! Grazie mille Kylie!!! 🥰
Thank you so much for creating and uploading this very useful video Kylie. Italy is one of my favourite country in Europe. Hopefully after this pandemic time I can go back to Italy. Grazie mille mio caro amico. si prega di fare attenzione e stare al sicuro.
This is absolutely spectacular! I will be applying to the University of Padova in January and need to start looking at visa requirements to study for 2 years with my masters and then to continue living there after and working
immensely helpful and informative, thank you!!! Can't wait for part 2 :)
Without a doubt, this was the most informative video I have ever come across relative to Italian Visa requirements and more importantly Citizenship. Wonderful Job! Bravo!
Excellent advice. Thank you so much for this video.
Kylie, this was fantastic! Great information but the interview and his points of view are priceless. It’s much like those trying to move to Portugal... which I’m very familiar with.
Grazie/Obrigada xoxo
This video is among the best I've watched regarding this process. I will be contacting Michele's firm when I make this move. Your videos are so inspiring in these confusing times. Thank you very much.
Excellent information...I've actually looked at the idea of coming over and living/buying property in at least one village where they are paying citizens from other countries to move and re-populate that village and they can get paid...The requirements are that you have a business to offer and there may be age restrictions...what a great find with this information!
Thank you, Kylie...I'll contact Signore Capecchi per Golden Visa (Elective in italia) and/or any investment/property matters in italia...brava!
Michele provides excellent advice and tips...i just bookmarked his site.
So now we know where Signorina Kylie gets her Mediterranean look and open, passionate nature - Greek mom! Yay
Steve, I look forward to speaking with you soon! Feel free to email me directly at legal@capecchilegal.com
@@CapecchiLegal Grazie! Look forward to connecting!
This man is such a great source of information! Thank you
Absolutely beautiful video of the ups and downs of life, thanks for sharing this with those of us that watch your channel. Outstanding job. Well done young lady.
Its very interesting...and you can completely understand why there are certain rules etc in place.....speaking Italian would be most beneficial ...thanks for sharing 😘
I have fond memories of living in Italy as a child in the 80s. The smell of honey sickle in the spring but now I wouldn’t live there. I did extended stays before my Italian Dad became too elderly and Italy wore thin after about a week.
Thank you Kylie and Michele, for sharing your vast experience and detailed knowledge - great collaboration. Michele's quick detailed replies should make it quite evident - a good lawyer is a good insurance for making dreams reality (instead of possible nightmares). Even for an EU citizen, like myself, this long informative session was quite helpful, both generally and especially for insight into a few specific matters.
Kylie, your valuable experience and insights so eloquently detailed and professionally delivered - always a pleasure to witness. I'm looking forward to the next episode.
Btw, happy for your Greek passport
Thank you. You’re so kind to write all this. 🙏
Every episode of your interview. Is so informative and nice 👍
What an incredibly informative episode! Thank you so much Kylie ❤️🙌✨
Fantastic video full of useful information. Thanks!
This has been very informative. Thank you. 🙏🏻
Buongiorno Kylie, thank you very much for the video. It has be very informative!! I would love to move to Italy, one day. Your video definitely answers a few questions!! All your videos are wonderful! Keep up the exceptional work!!
Thanks for this, really good. I’m going through the ‘settling down’ process right now and the bureaucracy here challenges you, for sure, even as a European citizen.😄 I just left Germany with two suitcases and a dream, like about six weeks ago, and moved to Rome.😊 There were a couple of general requirements, applicable to everyone, that were new to me, especially in regards to property, so big thanks for the informative insights, Kylie.🤓📝🍷I’m currently trying to get my tessera sanitaria, and it’s a nightmare when you’re still in kind of a ‘limbo situation’.😅 But I’m getting there.😁
Hi by the seaside. I am German as well and have been living in the USA for the past 30 years. I am contemplating of retiring in Italy in 7 years. Do you know the requirements for a German wanting to live/retire in Italy. Do we also need a visa? I would love it if you could share some information and your experience. Thanks and good luck to you. Where in Italy did you move?
Ok sorry I see that you moved to beautiful Rome.
@@KMarkus00 Hi, with the dual citizen-ship that you have, I guess, it would probably be easier, as you’re born in Germany. Best would be to check with the German consulate in the Italian city of your choice. Good luck💚
@@bytheseaside5363Thanks for your reply. I wish you the best of luck living your dream.
@@KMarkus00 europeans do not need any visa! you can move whenever and wherever you want in the EU
Hi hope u been well and safe. Your vlogs are getting better and better. God bless you.
Excellent!!! So informative, please do a part 2. 😁
This is my second time listening to this.
Thank you KYLIE it was very informative.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
What a very helpful video.Thank you so much. You've worked your magic once again.
Thank you! 😘
Yes to both I'll love to travel to my farther land and I would love to speak fluent Italy. My disability, I have it'll make that an impossible dream to reach!
Grazie per il video informativo Kylie! Si conferma che siamo sulla strada giusta con i nostri piani di andare in pensione in Italia. Tutto il nostro amore!
So much fantastic information. Thank you dear.
Excellent segment. Very informative and helpful, as are all your other videos of your Italian adventure. Mille grazie.
Beautiful soul, thank you!
Greek mother???? Wow!!! That’s why you remind me myself many times...! I’m Greek and I live in USA for 6 years. Greek blood is unique ❤️❤️
I admire your talent!!!
holy crap i just realized u just posted this video this morning (im in American East coast time), literally last night and this morning i was thinking about how i would apply for a citizenship or visa for italy and as i was getting up this morning i was thinking how i want to take first steps to look into how that would work. my grandparents were from there, and my great aunt and cousins r still in trieste so im wondering if they allow for citizenship easier if u have family there etc. thanks for the vid, very helpful if not at the least encouraging and comforting to hear a bit about the process from someone who's experienced it
Thank you so much Annie. Lucky you having this possibility! I’ll try to include more information on this particular topic next time. 😘😘😘
Ciao Annie! Reacquiring the Italian citizenship will be one of the most incredible achievements ever! And the benefit of becoming not only Italian citizen but also European Union Citizen are countless!
Feel free to contact me directly at legal@capecchilegal.com providing some basic info of your background and I’ll be happy to answer to your questions! Cheers!
Michele
This is very helpful and thank you so much for sharing
Just found your beautiful body of work. So inspiring. Thank you!!
Up
Moving to Italy seems really hard, the paperwork and complexity of government....when you talked about that little room you can't change even inside- I get it but it does feel restrictive for those not used ot that.
I mean is moving to any country easy? lol
When the time comes, I’ll seek Michelle Capecchi’s legal advice 100% 🔥🔥🔥 #awesome #professional
It’s incredible how many times foreigners give more visibility to small things in Italy than people living there... especially with the view of the dream that I think any Italian has at the end inside but for example problems of the life as now economy is hiding
Thank you for this video! If you make a part 2 could you focus more on acquiring citizenship while still in your home country, for example Canada through jure sanguinis
Hi
Ciao Christina, the application in your home country (via Italian Consulate) is possible in many cases...But not always. If you would like to have more details on this process and the benefits that having an Italian passport entails, feel free to write me at legal@capecchilegal.com
Id be hiring his firm to find my lineage! Such great info!!! I have a great great grandmother from Italy but I read it was only paternal so i never looked further, but now I have an avenue to research if I can regain my citizenship! I am SOOO glad you guys covered that. Oh thank you both a million
You can use maternal, too. It's kind of luck of the draw on if your path matches the rules.
@@ericafilippo9755 Very true ^_^
This is an amazing idea for a video, congrats!
I wonder how you got your slight accent..it’s beautiful! You sound like an old Hollywood actress, like Audrey Hepburn.
