Planning to retire or live in Italy on passive income? Our experienced immigration team helps you navigate the financial requirements, prepare your application and meet your consulate’s expectations.
From your first documents to your arrival in Italy, we’re here to guide you.
With over 1,000 clients helped, Smart Move Italy brings proven immigration expertise and hands-on support to every step of your journey.
Our services can include:
Check that the ERV is the right visa for your circumstances.
Prepare and organize evidence of your qualifying passive income.
Forms, supporting documents and your consulate's specific requirements.
Secure suitable housing in Italy when it's required.
Understand the application and appointment process.
Help with your permesso di soggiorno and Italian residency, depending on your package.
From expert help preparing your visa to full relocation support, we offer three service levels.
€2,500
Professional assistance preparing and organizing your Elective Residency Visa application.
€4,000
More comprehensive guidance for applicants who want extra support throughout the visa process.
€6,500
Our most comprehensive support, for clients who want help coordinating their whole move to Italy.
Inclusions and pricing depend on whether you're applying individually or as a couple. We'll explain the services and costs before you proceed.
An ERV application is about more than forms. It's about showing you can build your life in Italy without working. Our specialists handle Italian visa applications every day, so we know the documents, the questions consulates raise and the practical side of relocating.
And because our team is based in Italy, we help with far more than the visa: from finding a home to residency after you arrive.
We would never have moved here without your help. You are my guru.
We’re thrilled to share that we received our ERVs today in the mail. We’re leaving for Italy on Sunday. It’s finally happened!
We review your circumstances, passive income and timeline.
We guide you through the documents and prepare your application for your consulate.
You submit at your Italian consulate, knowing what to expect.
Once approved, we help with residency and the practical steps after arrival.
Two lighter ways to get expert help with your own ERV application.
The commonly published minimum is about €32,000 net per year for a single applicant and €64,000 combined for a couple, though consulates can apply different requirements. We recommend planning for more, ideally €40,000 or more per applicant in reliable annual passive income.
No. The ERV is for people who can support themselves through qualifying passive income without working in Italy.
Italian authorities can take up to 90 days to process a national visa. Preparing your documents and securing accommodation can take several months, so plan early.
Yes. We assist individuals and couples. Each applicant submits their own application and must meet the requirements.
No. No immigration firm can. The Italian consulate makes the final decision. We help you prepare a thorough, well-documented application and catch potential issues before you submit.
You've decided to explore a new life in Italy. Now make sure you have the right professionals helping you get there, from your first application to the practical steps of settling in.
