The Housing Requirement: Solved
A critical component of any successful Elective Residency application is proving you have suitable accommodation in Italy… before you even apply. This catch-22 stops many applicants in their tracks.

The Elective Residency Process Simplified
The Italian authorities scrutinize financial documentation with exacting precision. Without expertise, even substantial assets can be presented inadequately, leading to disappointing rejections. With us, your financial case will be presented perfectly.
Every application we handle benefits from our intimate understanding of exactly what each Italian consulate expects to see - which documentation formats work best, how to present investment income, and how to address the subtle variations between consulate requirements across different regions.
We specialize in creating elective residency solutions for:
- Retirees with pensions seeking Mediterranean sunshine
- Investors with dividend income dreaming of hillside villas
- Early retirees strategizing for international living
- Anyone with stable passive income and an Italian vision
- Property owners looking to spend more time at their Italian home
