I have just been to my local Municipality, simply to check what papers I need for Residency.

We were told that as I am not a pensioner, and not working here , that I CANNOT be a resident.

I sold my house in London and moved here to live with my Italian fella, (who is working) Half the money from my House Sale is going to be my share of a house we are going to buy here together. The rest of the money will be my nest-egg to live off.

But this lady insisted that I cannot be a resident unless I get a job.

Please somebody tell me this isnt true. I was under the impression that so long as I can show proof that I can financially support myself, and have medical insurance, then that would be all that is needed?

Help somebody . Thanks

Unless things have changed again recently, it is all you need. Plus Private Health Insurance - maybe the bit she forgot to mention to you. Without this they won't give you your residency no matter how much money you have.

Lorna will provide you with the links for chapter and verse to print off and take back to them.

I changed my residency fairly recently as we moved house. I also took a letter from my OH stating that financially he is responsible for me. I don't work here and I have residency.

yes I have residency here but I am also not married. My partner had to sign some sort of declaration to say that he was financially responsible for me AND the two kids that we have together and he had to have a letter from his employer showing how much he earned as he is on secondment here.

That's my understanding also, proof of funds and private medical insurance is all you need - can those that know clarify please?

There is info and links on the British Embassy website page for Living in Italy. If you look there you will find info on the links in both English and Italian. It SHOULD be up to date!!!

This is the legal blurb from the Italian parliament website ..............

http://www.parlamento.it/leggi/deleghe/07030dl.htm

Article 7 clearly states :

must have sufficient economic funds for himself and all family members so as not to be a burden on the State social assistence during his stay here, AND health insurance or other similar that covers all risks in this national territory.


b) dispone per se' stesso e per i propri familiari di risorse economiche sufficienti, per non diventare un onere a carico dell'assistenza sociale dello Stato durante il periodo di soggiorno, e di un'assicurazione sanitaria o di altro titolo idoneo comunque denominato che copra tutti i rischi nel territorio nazionale;
