Checklist: Moving to Italy

Check Solution
Residence & registration on arrival EU citizens must register with the local municipality within 3 months. A certificate of residence (“Certificato di Residenza”) must also be applied for. This ensures that all official requirements are met.
Check your visa or residence permit Non-EU citizens need a visa before entering the country. They must then register with the Questura so that a residence permit can be issued. This is absolutely essential.
Arrange health & social insurance Registration with the national health system (SSN) is required. It also gives you access to medical care, so you are properly covered.
Clarify taxes & main residence If you live in Italy, you are liable to pay tax. You must therefore register with the tax office and apply for a tax number (Codice Fiscale). This way you meet all legal requirements.
Handle the change of address / re-registration After the move, your address must be updated with the municipality. This is important for residence certificates and official correspondence. It also prevents delays with forms.
Check the import of your belongings from abroad When moving from non-EU countries, customs formalities must be observed. Moves within the EU are usually duty-free for personal belongings. This saves you effort and time.
Arrange utility connections & housing Electricity, water, gas and internet must be registered with local providers. Contracts are usually not included in the rent. So you should organise everything in good time.
Look into language and integration programmes Italy offers language courses and integration programmes. These are often run by municipalities or language schools. They also make it easier to settle in quickly.

What services do the moving companies offer? Our partners handle every service connected with your move. This includes professional packing, transport by lorry, sea or air freight, and support with customs formalities. They also offer door-to-door service, temporary storage and various types of insurance for your goods.
