Relocation, Legal & Settling-In Support
for Moving to Italy
Ensuring clear guidance every
step of the way
While we’re based in Puglia and provide on-the-ground support here, we also support relocations throughout Italy, working with trusted local partners in regions including Bologna, Verona, Milan, Florence and beyond.
From understanding your legal pathway to feeling at home once you arrive — we support both sides of the move.
Relocating to Italy isn’t one decision.
It’s a sequence of them and getting that sequence right makes all the difference.
How we work
(Your friendly team of two)
Relocation works best when legal structure and real-life support are aligned.
We combine legal expertise with on-the-ground relocation support, so nothing feels fragmented or unclear.
With Valentina
(Legal )
• Citizenship, visa and residency assessment
• Legal strategy and documentation
• Applications, submissions and court processes
• General bureaucracy
With Stef
(Relocation & Settling-In)
• Clarity calls
• Relocation planning and sequencing
• Rental process and local navigation
• Administrative setup and day-to-day life
• On-the-ground support in Puglia + coordination across Italy
We work with English speakers
who are:
• Exploring Italian citizenship by descent
• Applying for visas (Digital Nomad, ERV, Student, Work)
• Planning a long-term move to Italy
• Navigating recent legal changes
• Looking for structured, realistic relocation support
With recent updates to Italian citizenship law, many people are unsure where they stand. Part of our role is helping you understand what still applies to you — before you invest time or money in the wrong pathway.
Who we support
1. Start with Clarity
Clarity Call (€35)
A focused 30-minute session to understand your options and next steps.
Best for:
• citizenship or visa direction
• understanding timelines
• avoiding early mistakes
2. Plan your move properly
Relocation Planning Session (€200)
For those planning a move within the next 6–18 months.
We map:
• your timeline
• legal sequencing
• rental strategy
• location fit
• admin order
This is structured advisory designed to reduce overwhelm and prevent costly mistakes.
3. Full relocation & legal support
For those who want ongoing support, we offer structured packages that combine legal guidance with relocation and settling-in support.
This ensures everything happens in the right order — legally and practically.
How you can work with us
Most people don’t need everything at once.
They need the right starting point and a clear next step.
Our Packages
We tailor everything to suit, but your move might look a little something like this.
Full Relocation Journey
(Legal + Arrival Support)
A complete, end-to-end service for those relocating to Italy for citizenship, visas or long-term residency.
This combines Valentina’s legal expertise with on-the-ground relocation support, so the process is approached properly — from the legal pathway through to everyday life once you arrive.
Before you arrive — Legal preparation & planning
This is where the move is structured correctly from the beginning.
• Citizenship or visa pathway guidance (with Valentina)
• Document preparation, translations and requirements
• Appointment preparation and coordination
• Personalised relocation roadmap (your country → Italy)
• Pre-departure planning call (what to expect, priorities, timing)
• Practical coordination where needed (transfers, basic home setup, arrival readiness)
Property & location coordination
If you need support navigating the rental process, we coordinate this alongside your legal and relocation timeline.
• Guidance on where to live based on your situation
• Introductions to trusted local property contacts
• Coordination of viewings and communication where needed
• Support understanding contracts and expectations
Handled through trusted local partners, with us ensuring everything stays aligned and properly sequenced.
When you arrive — structured settling-in support
Your first days in Italy are where things either feel overwhelming — or clear.
We make sure it’s the latter.
• Welcome support (groceries + initial orientation)
• Neighbourhood walkthrough (essentials, local rhythm, day-to-day life)
• Settling-in day with key admin tasks completed with you
(SIM, codice fiscale, residency, healthcare, SPID, permesso support where relevant)
After arrival — ongoing support & integration
Support doesn’t stop once the paperwork starts.
• One month of WhatsApp support (weekday access)
• Ongoing guidance so nothing feels unclear or fragmented
• Access to trusted local professionals
• Introductions to like-minded people and local networks
• Relevant WhatsApp groups and community connections
• Cultural guidance to help you settle into everyday life
What this gives you
This isn’t just support, it’s structure.
• You’re not figuring things out step by step
• You’re not making decisions in the wrong order
• You’re not managing multiple providers
You have a clear pathway, the right timing, and support both legally and practically.
Arrival & Orientation (One Month)
A structured, supported start to life in Italy
Designed for those who are already legally approved, or arriving independently, but want to feel confident and settled from the beginning.
This is about removing that first-month uncertainty — so you’re not trying to figure everything out alone.
Before you arrive — preparation & clarity
We make sure you arrive knowing what matters (and what doesn’t).
• Pre-departure planning call
• Practical guidance on what to bring, what to organise, and what can wait
• Optional coordination support (airport transfers, basic home setup if needed)
When you arrive — a clear, supported start
Your first days set the tone for everything that follows.
• Welcome support (groceries ready for your first night)
• Welcome coffee or aperitivo to walk through priorities and expectations
• Neighbourhood orientation (cafés, groceries, transport, essentials)
Settling-in support — getting the essentials done
Instead of navigating bureaucracy alone, we complete key steps with you.
• One dedicated settling-in day
• Support with essential admin (SIM, codice fiscale, residency, healthcare, SPID, permesso where relevant)
After arrival — ongoing support & local connection
The small questions are often the ones that slow everything down.
You’ll have support while things become familiar.
• One month of WhatsApp support (weekday access)
• Help navigating everyday situations and next steps
• Introductions to trusted local services where needed
• Access to local networks and relevant WhatsApp groups
• Cultural guidance on how things actually work day-to-day
A lighter option?
If you don’t need in-person admin support, we also offer a lighter version of this service.
You’ll still receive the same guidance, orientation and support — just without the settling-in day.
Ideal for independent movers who want clarity, without full hands-on assistance.
Need some VIP settling-in solutions?
We can also organise some personalised
touches…just for you.
A shuttle bus from the airport to your new home
Cleaning for your new residence before you arrive
A set of brand new bed sheets!
A few days of home-cooked meals in the freezer
Enrolment in Italian lessons
Curated Private Experiences in Salento
Relocation isn’t just about paperwork, it’s about feeling connected to where you live.
Alongside our relocation services, we offer optional experiences designed to help you settle in, meet people, and enjoy everyday life in Puglia.
Experiences may include:
• Cooking classes with local chefs
• Masseria visits and food experiences
• Wine tastings
• Beach days and weekend escapes
• Aperitivo or private dining experiences
• Seasonal events and local outings
• Community meetups
These are tailored to your interests and timing — simple, considered ways to feel more at home.
A note from me
When I moved to Italy, I realised very quickly that the process itself isn’t impossible — but it does need to be approached properly.
What feels overwhelming at the beginning usually comes down to one thing:
not knowing what to do first.
That’s what this is designed to solve.
So you’re not figuring it out step by step —
you’re moving forward with a clear plan.
