Hello, i have tried to post reply to katabiel 2x (see below, post under "Retiring" topic) and see nothing on web page. I'm a newbie, first visit to this excellent forum!! Any advice greatly appreciated, thanks!
---------------------------
Dear katabiel, congrats on finally securing elective residency visas for both of you!! i am experiencing similar problems with NYC italian consulate. They rejected my application last year without cause (said it was lack of finances, assure you that is not the case.) i hired italian attorney and we won 2 judgments by court in Rome. however, i still need to officially apply a third time, appt is mid-May. Wish me luck! It may be a great help for me to speak with you for just a few minutes to learn more about how you made it work by moving to TX. Please advise if you are open to that, thanks! About your registering for Italian Health Care insurance, here's how it worked for me, quite easily, maybe because i am younger than both of you. My real estate agent in Tuscany referred me to a local insurance agent. Before even moving to Italy for my first 90 day stay last April 2015, I asked the insurance agent to email me the application. She works with insurer, Cattolica ASSICURAZIONE. I had the Italian form translated to English, filled it out, signed and returned it. After receiving approval (only took 2 weeks), I paid 6 mo of annual premium. Approx 1 month later, received insurance id card. Because i do not (yet) have my residency visa, this coverage may be a different type than you are thinking of. However, given that you both have ER visas, getting some type of coverage should not be an issue. Ask the agent who sold you your property if s/he can help. Good luck!!
