Watch what you bring the other way Brian, I suspect that may be more of a problem with HMRC Customs! You may need your receipt for your Rolex you took out of the UK to get it back in the country without import tax!

I notice the British Embassy has posted plenty of pictures of people laughing and smiling to show how things have improved. Take a driving test if you arrived in 2021 ha ha ha! Get some private health insurance ha ha ha! The comments arent quite so positive.

People voted for Brexit and for end of free movement. You realize that your p.port now gets stamped when entering. Better get stamped out on day 90. The fact that you own a house gives you no privilege.

Elective residency require a visa to be obtained before your arrival, and then the process of PdS started, with all that that entails. You will need to prove you have around 40.000 euros p.a for a couple, as well as health insurance etc. This is all standard for a non EU country, so its very unlikely that tehre will be a special reciprocal arrangement with the UK.
- Certificate of an abstract recognition of the resources necessary for the business, trade or craft activity to be undertaken, issued by the relevant Chamber of Commerce for the area where the activity shall take place. These resources must not be fewer than the annual amount of the minimum income (€ 4,962.36)
- availability of an income relating to the previous financial year which must be higher than the minimum level required by law for exemption from health care contribution (€8,500), already acquired in the country of residence

Re: Any way to stay more than 90 days but less than 180 in one trip??
I am considering applying for residence in Italy but it is complicated by the fact I have dual nationality. I spend about 5 months of the year in italy. I am worried about the tax situation. If any of you are resident in Italy and have elected to pay tax in the UK I would be grateful if you have any advice. Do you have to file a tax return in Italy ? even if you are paying your taxes in the UK, if so does the double taxation agreement come into force? and if so how does it work. I am concerned that if I had to declare my income in Italy because of the differnce in taxation I would be paying more tax. Any insights or experience would be welcome.

For elective residency your income must be not inferior to 31000 euros plus 20% for every other member of the family. For a work/selfemployed visa etc the amounts are different.

For Elective Residency Modi's answers seem to be confirmed in most searches I looked at, to get solid information you would need to look at the actual regulations "Decree of Ministry of Foreign Affairs N. 850/2011, Art. 13, Annex A" is what you ned to find, no idea how. None of the stuff I've looked at mentions tax returns, but one solicitor site touting business did mention "your tax affairs", I suspect you may need to do one.

My husband and I are both retired and therefore we would not be working we have no income in Italy and we meet the the minimum income levels.
