Can You Live in Italy if You Buy a €1 House? Visas and Residency Explained

from Ask The Italian Lawyer · host Marco Permunian & Rafael Di Furia

One euro homes in Italy can be an appealing way to buy property in Italy, but they often raise an important legal question for non-EU buyers: does a €1 house purchase affect your right to remain in the country, or do you still need an Italian visa and a residency permit (permesso di soggiorno) to live in Italy legally? This topic matters for anyone considering a one euro house program, relocating for renovations, or trying to understand the difference between owning real estate in Italy and establishing lawful residence, especially when a municipality requires residency as part of the program terms. In this episode of Ask The Italian Lawyer hosted by Italian attorney Marco Permunian and dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, we’ll learn the answer to the question: Does purchasing a one Euro home in Italy give you the ability to stay in the country?For help with the Italian citizenship process and more information about Italian Citizenship Assistance visit ICA's website:https://ItalianCitizenshipAssistance.comFor help with buying a home in Italy, and more information about Italian Real Estate Lawyers visit IREL's website:https://ItalianRealEstateLawyers.comTo contact Italian Attorney Marco Permunian and his team at Italian Citizenship Assistance & Italian Real Estate Lawyers:https://italiancitizenshipassistance.com/contact/https://italianrealestatelawyers.com/contact-us/To see more from @RafaelDiFuria living abroad and life as a dual-citizen expat check out his YouTube channel and website:Http://YouTube.com/RafaelDiFuriaHttp://RafaelDiFuria.com#italiancitizenship #Italiandualcitizenship #tajanidecree
