Preparing your documents for a new life in Italy.
Every relocation journey is different. A retiree applying for an Elective Residency Visa, a remote professional moving with a Digital Nomad Visa, an investor establishing a presence in Italy, may all require different documentation and different levels of certification.
Our role is to help ensure that your documents are:
✔accurately translated
✔consistent across countries
✔prepared in the correct format
✔ready for submission to the appropriate Italian authority.
How we work
We review your documents before translating anything. We check names, dates, and financial terms across every document from every country involved for inconsistencies.
We prepare certified and sworn translations. We prepare certified translations accompanied by Certificates of Accuracy, as well as sworn translations (traduzioni giurate) completed personally at the Court of Florence.
We work alongside your team. Your lawyer, accountant, financial adviser and other specialists, in Italy or abroad.
We keep everything confidential. Especially for cases involving significant assets or complex holdings.
Which visa is right for you?
Different Italian visas need different documents. Here are the ones that we specialize in and what each one requires.
Elective Residency Visa (ERV)
You will need to show steady, ongoing income that isn’t from work: investments, pensions, annuities. You also need housing and health insurance documents as well as your vital records.
We assist with documents such as:
✔Financial records and investment portfolios.
✔Retirement and pension records.
✔Annuities and passive income documentation.
✔Property deeds (rogiti).
✔Lease agreements (contratti di locazione).
✔Health insurance records and background checks.
✔Birth certificates, marriage certificates and divorce decrees.
Investor (Golden) Visa
Investment options: €250,000 in a startup, €500,000 in a company, €2,000,000 in government bonds, or a €1,000,000 donation.
You will need to prove where the money legally came from. This gets reviewed under anti-money-laundering rules and your documents need to be airtight.
Applications often involve extensive financial and corporate documentation, including:
✔Banking and tax records.
✔Investment portfolios and shareholding documents.
✔Corporate and shareholding records.
✔Audited financial statements.
✔Trust documentation.
Digital Nomad & Remote Worker Visa
You will need to show your income meets the minimum amount, and that you are professionally qualified for what you do. We translate contracts, degrees, and tax records into terms Italian authorities recognize.
We assist with the preparation, translation and certification of:
✔Employment contracts.
✔Freelance agreements.
✔Service agreements and SLAs.
✔Corporate documentation.
✔University degrees and professional certifications.
✔Résumés and professional records.
✔Tax returns and income documentation.
✔Health insurance records.
Our goal is to help you demonstrate your professional background clearly through accurate bilingual documentation.
