Visa Questions

2 years ago

Looking to rent for 6-12 months before deciding if Italy is the place for us. Wondering if anyone can speak to the elective residency visa vs the student visa. I would like to study there and could easily commit to the 20 hour a week requirement. What confuses me about the elective residence visa is the stipulation that you cannot work at all - even online for a US company. I understand "proof of passive income" is necessary but what if my husband's retirement covers both of us? Is there an option for me to earn a part time income if it's not needed to meet the income requirements? Or, is the student visa an easier path when just trying to decide...Thanks!
