Frequently asked questions

What do I need to register as a resident in Italy?
EU citizens can stay up to 90 days freely; to stay longer you must register with the Anagrafe (residents’ registry) at your local comune, usually within 20 days of establishing habitual residence. You will first need a codice fiscale (tax code) from the Agenzia delle Entrate, which is required to rent, open a bank account or access public services. (Agenzia delle Entrate)

Do I have to clear customs for my household goods moving to Italy?
No. Italy is in the EU single market, so moving your personal belongings from another EU country involves no customs declaration or import duty on household goods. Standard rules still apply to regulated items such as alcohol, tobacco, weapons or protected species. (Agenzia delle Dogane)

How much does an international move to Italy cost and how long does it take?
Costs depend mainly on the volume of goods, the distance, access at both ends and any extra services such as packing or storage, so figures vary considerably from one move to the next. An itemised, survey-based quotation is more reliable than a flat estimate, and transit times depend on your origin and route. (Flyto Relocation)

Can foreigners rent or buy a home in Italy?
EU citizens can rent and buy property in Italy without restriction. Rental contracts (contratto di locazione) are registered with the tax authority, and landlords typically request a deposit of up to three months’ rent plus proof of income; a codice fiscale is needed to sign a lease. (Agenzia delle Entrate)

How do I access healthcare in Italy?
Italy’s National Health Service (Servizio Sanitario Nazionale, SSN) provides public healthcare; once resident you register with your local health authority (ASL) and choose a family doctor. EU citizens who are working or resident can enrol, while short-stay visitors can use a European Health Insurance Card for necessary care. (Ministry of Health)

Is my EU driving licence valid in Italy?
Yes. An EU/EEA driving licence is valid throughout Italy and you do not normally need to exchange it, though you may swap it voluntarily. Non-EU licences must generally be exchanged within one year of establishing residence. (Your Europe)
