Oh and CONGRATULATIONS!
You can now live anywhere in Schengen countries just so long as you don't work - correct? So you could pursue online income from a low-cost area of Portugal, southwest France, southern Italy, or a Greek island, right?eurobrat wrote:It took me 4 years to get it, I'm currently looking at the Italian job market which isn't good as well (about the same for unemployment as Los Angeles).
Wouldn't I get bored in those areas?Jester wrote:You can now live anywhere in Schengen countries just so long as you don't work - correct?

Good luck!
Yeah, I suppose. Depends on what I thought was fun. Maybe you want to get laid by blondes from Northern Europe. So maybe Corfu or Mallorca would work better for you?eurobrat wrote:Wouldn't I get bored in those areas?Jester wrote:You can now live anywhere in Schengen countries just so long as you don't work - correct?

Paisa'!!! Sorry for being the last up on the thread but, well, congratulations! Mostly, kudos for having the guts to become a citizen of the weirdest country on planet Earth. When are you flying to Italy?eurobrat wrote:I just picked up my Italian Passport this last week from the Italian Consulate, cost me only $100!

Ouch, sour topic. Italy has one of world's worst environments to open a new business and have it flourish. If you are planning to freelance, say, as an English teacher, your best bet is to open what we call "Partita IVA", which means you have an accounting book where you can post your invoices, claim expenses and pay (a lot of) taxes. Don't even think of setting up a limited company (called "Srl"), it takes a very long time and if you're not successful you may end up paying a lot in fixed and accounting costs. I don't have names as I don't know where you'll be living, but mail me when you're there and I can find you a good accountant ("commercialista") there.eurobrat wrote:Thanks guy's for the compliment. I'm looking into other things you can do with the citizenship like how much easier it is to start a business over there. From my understanding the IT business is still critically in need over in Italy. I also found out that there's a good sized tax break for buying your first property over in Italy???
I'm going to be over there for Xmas and the New Year. I already opened an Italian Paypal account and I'm looking at opening a bank account while I'm over there. Publicduende do you have any recommendations as to which bank is the best over in Italy?
