What do you have to do to prove your divorce? I'm wondering if it's the same thing as registering s death certificate, i.e. getting it translated and apostilled then authenticated??

My husband and I are from Denver, Colorado. We decided to retire and test run living in Italy. We both fell in love with Verona and are now here for several months.

We are hoping to meet people English speaking, though we are working on our Italian through a school: inClasse, which has been great so far.


We were disappointed in Bologna. The graffiti on almost every historical building, church, etc makes for a very dirty college town. Too bad, as it is the birthplace of a lot of rich cultural heritage.

Consider the North. A bit more expensive, but beautiful, cooler, great access to the rest of Europe.

Other English speaking folks, please let us know who you are!

Hello

Am Renee from London UK. I am planning to move next April to Verona Italy with my husband and twins. We decided on Verona area as its close to my husband’s family and our friends.

So far we found the school for the children but hopping to find a good size family house to rent.

Unfortunately its quite difficult to find online as there aren’t many suitable large properties to rent advertised online.
Does anyone know how or where can I look we need to be about 20 to 30 minutes drive to central Verona max and looking for a independent house with large garden and swimming pool.

So far I found nothing.

Ps is there any expats groups in th area?

I have this permesso familiare, released last year and will be expire on 5 years. Last year I entered Italy twice for three months each using visa. In this year I entered Italy again using my permesso, (currently 2 months now since I arrived this year) but again have to go back in Philippines in the next month. I would like to ask how long can I stay to Philippines to maintain my permesso valid until the date of expiry. ? I have read some answers that if they stay out of Italy for 6 consecutive months , the permesso may  not be valid anymore,.

Thank you,
Christelle

Hi Everyone, My name is Druan.
I am very pleased to meet you and to be part of  this forum. The reason why I reached out to expact.com is because of a love story.

Four years ago I met the most amazing, beautiful and intelligent woman that a man can desire online.She lives in Foggia Italy and I live in South Africa. We were friends for a long time but before I knew it I was deeply in love with her.

She introduced me to her family and I started to fall in love with the Italian people and their language culture and esspecially the food. Every day that passes makes my heart grow fonder. We want to be together.

That is why I decided to look for work in Italy. I Have been looking for work now for quite some time and I have even been to some interviews, but until now my job hunt has been unfruitful and yielded no results.

I've tried everything from online Jobs sites like indeed.com to reaching out to employers through their own websites or from refferals.

I feel that part of the problem is that I don't have a network of contacts in Italy aside from my girlfriend and her family. I'm not a person that quits or gives up, and thats why I decided to see if I can find people online that I can reach out to.

I have many skills. I was a music and art teacher for quite some time before I entered the world of sales and marketing. I'm not afraid of hard work or getting my hands dirty either. I worked in farms and carpentry and recycling factories and have also had a hand in hard labour construction Jobs. I am a qualified legal financial compliance officer.

I have problem solving skills and am also very intelligent. I have web and software development skills. I Know HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Java, C++ and Linux skills. I am also very good at SEO and SMM.

Here is a link to a mobile first, responsive website that I hand coded. [link moderated]


I am an honest and hard working person, I come out of a good Afrikaans home. However, I love Italian culture and people. I have even learned to speak Italian and I know that I will assimilate well. If you know someone that can assist me or have some advice then please help me.

Ciao John

I am Akash. I will be moving to Italy soon. I will be staying there as an MBA grad at Politechnico di Milano. I am very excited about it and a friend advised me to join Expat to make new friends. I am interested in learning Italian and also looking for some accommodation help.

Ciao,

I am planning to move to Bologna in September. I would like to meet people and learn more about the city, how to get jobs and more information. Hoping to socialize and learn.

Feel free to message me.

Thanks everyone. I’m from Sydney and have just started researching the feasibility of making Perugia my ‘second home’. It seems I can’t get a working visa or register as a Psychologist there (I am a registered Psych in Sydney with 20 plus years experience). Do you think  it might be possible for me to have a small private practice in Perugia serving the English expat community without getting into trouble? I would appreciate any thoughts you may have as this could help me to realise my dream. Thank you.

I am Ugo, owner of the website *** - I deal with problems with Italian bureaucracy and mortgages for non Italians who buy home in Italy or simply move to Italy - Army this activity for over 20 years, to date 24 June 2018, I have 780 satisfied customers, the site has an interesting page of Testimonials (reach them!) - I'm present in many expart forums, answering the most varied questions, my site has pages always updated on various Italian laws, in particular on regulations that affect all those who come to live or buy real estate in Italy.

Thank you for developing this wonderful website. If I have any real estate needs I will contact you. In fact one day  Id like to buy  a traditional stone house with minimum 3  beds and two bathrooms with a lovely private garden 3 to 8 kms outside a a lovely Italian town such as San Gimignano or even on the outskirts of Florence, Perugia or even Cinque Terre. I will contact you when I get to that stage. Thanks again.

Hi,
I'm looking for native English-speaking graduates with tefl or similar.
Those are the baseline requirements.

Hi, Did you try to use an immigration lawyer?  They normally know their way around these situations and often have contacts at the embassy that they work with.

Ciao All!!

I will be relocating to Porto Santo Stefano, Tuscany at the end of August and would love to know if there are any fellow expats around that area. I'm certain that I will pick up Italian within no time and mingle with the locals no problem, however it is always comforting to meet fellow expats who can share any tips on being the Newbie.

I am a South African who grew up in England and Hong Kong and have spent the last 3 years working around Europe within the yachting industry.

Looking forward to hearing back,

Emily

Ciao y'all,

I'm technically not an expat— I recently obtained my Italian Passport and am a dual-citizen. I currently practice as a marriage and family therapist in the Bay Area and have an MA in counseling psychology. I hope eventually to practice and teach in Italy once I brush up on my Italian and figure out all the ins-and-outs of being a psychotherapist there. My girlfriend and I have targeted Perugia as a potentially cool spot to land due to its appealing size and culture. And advice or thoughts would be appreciated!

Best,

Ken
