Family First. Your Fast-Track to Life in Italy.
Moving with a spouse, joining an EU partner, or relocating as a European citizen? Skip the standard visa red tape with our expert legal pathways.
Find Your Family Pathway
The "Reality Check"
Most agencies treat every relocation like a standard work visa. They force families into months of separation and endless Consulate appointments. At Italy Semplice, we do things differently. We leverage specific European directives and Article 30 of the Italian Immigration Law to keep your family together, often bypassing the Consulate entirely.

At Italy Semplice, we believe in keeping families together without unnecessary financial burdens. That’s why our Visa Management and Full Concierge packages cover both the Main Applicant and one additional family member (such as a spouse) completely free of charge.
For larger families, any additional dependents (such as children) will be added at no additional cost. Custom quotes for extended families or other services are available on demand during our Strategy Call.

Italy Semplice provides expert advisory, strategy, and coordination services. Please be advised that the final decision on any application rests solely with the Italian Government authorities (Consulates, Questures, and Municipalities). The Consultant does not guarantee visa approval, residency issuance, or specific processing timelines as these are subject to official government discretion and changing regulations.
-
Our professional fees cover our strategic coordination only. To maintain total transparency, the following external costs are not included and must be paid directly to the respective providers:
Government Fees: Consulate application fees, residency permit fees, and official duty stamps (marche da bollo).
Third-Party Professionals: Fees for specialized tax advisors (Commercialisti), Notaries, legal counsel, or independent tax experts.
Document Preparation: Costs for official translations, Apostilles, or legalization of foreign documents.
Real Estate Costs: Property deposits, agency commissions (unless specified), or related transaction taxes.
The Family Home: More Than Just a Lease
For families, a house in Italy is not just a place to sleep—it is a legal requirement for your residency and your children’s school enrollment. Most landlords are hesitant to rent to foreigners without an Italian credit history, and many properties do not meet the strict "Housing Suitability" (Idoneità Alloggiativa) standards required for family permits.
Our in-house scouting team, specializes in finding family-friendly homes in the right school districts. We don’t just find you a house; we secure a home with a registered contract that guarantees your family’s legal status from day one.
Official Sources & FAQ
Official Sources & Transparency Body: Confusion is the enemy of a successful relocation. Our procedures are not based on anecdotes, but on the strict application of Italian and European migration laws. We operate with total transparency, providing you with the exact legal framework for your specific family scenario.
Reference Sources:
Legislative Decree 30/2007: The "EU Charter" regulating the right of EU citizens and their family members to move and reside freely in Italy.
Article 30, Legislative Decree 286/98: The legal basis for "Family Cohesion" (Permesso di Soggiorno per Coesione Familiare).
Directive 2004/38/EC: European Union regulations on freedom of movement.
-
If you are joining an EU citizen spouse, your right to work is granted by law, but you usually need to wait for the physical "Ricevuta" (receipt) of your residency application or the permit itself to sign a formal Italian employment contract. We help you navigate this transition to minimize career gaps.
-
Our core packages include the Main Applicant and one spouse/partner. For additional dependents (children), we apply a flat fee of €500 per person. This covers the individual dossier preparation, certified translations of birth certificates, and the specific municipal or police appointments required for minors.
-
Italian public schools are very welcoming and are legally required to accept all children regardless of language level. However, navigating the enrollment forms and finding "Italian as a Second Language" (L2) support can be tricky. Our All-Inclusive and Elite packages include direct assistance with school registrations and local orientation.
-
The Family Cohesion (Art. 30) is available to spouses and children of non-EU citizens who already hold a valid Italian residence permit (like a Digital Nomad or ERV). It allows you to skip the Consulate abroad, but it requires meticulous timing and proof of "suitable housing." We audit your eligibility during our Strategy Call.
-
Yes. Even though you have the right to live in Italy with your spouse, the local Town Hall (Comune) will not grant you official residency without "Proof of Coverage." Since you won't have an Italian work contract immediately, you must provide either:
A private health insurance policy with zero deductible and full hospital coverage.
Proof of the €2,000 voluntary contribution to the Italian National Health Service (SSN).
(For EU citizens) An S1 Form from your home country, if applicable.
