obstacles to retiring in Italy

11 years ago

Hi All,
I have been hearing that's it's very difficult to get the necessary visa/permission to retire in Italy (we don't have Italian blood). The Italian consulate wrote back to an inquiry of mine about the amount of income necessary to prove - $4000 per month per person. That would mean my husband and I would have to show an income of $8000 a month! This doesn't seem reasonable - is this really adhered to? We would both be retire age and with enough income but not nearly that much. Does anyone have advice?
