THE SCALINI METHOD · “SCALINI” MEANS STEPS
One proven route to Italy. Choose how much of it we carry.
Every client follows the same four steps. Instead of separately hiring an immigration lawyer, tax advisor, house hunter, translator and local fixer, you engage one office, at the intensity your move needs.
I
WEEKS 1–3
Decide: choose your Italy
·Region & town shortlist against budget, family, seasons and access, with the trade-offs stated plainly
·Rent-first or buy: an honest recommendation
·Your likely visa route and what decides it
·A 12-month roadmap, in order
II
MONTHS 1–4
Prepare: get the green light
·Visa dossier run with vetted immigration counsel, built for your consulate's habits
·The registered 12-month lease secured before the application needs it
·Tax position mapped with a cross-border accountant, before you're resident, not after
·A scouting trip planned like a local, not a tourist
III
THE ARRIVAL QUARTER
Land: keys, papers, life running
·Home found, negotiated and checked buyer-side: documents, price, seller, risks
·Permesso kit prepared before you fly; the 8-day window kept
·Questura, Comune, tax office, INPS: four agencies, one owner: us
·Banking, healthcare enrolment, utilities, schools
IV
THE FIRST YEAR
Settle: make it home
·The driving-licence plan foreigners never see coming, started early
·Purchase advisory included when you're ready to buy
·Renovation & contractor coordination
·A named advisor on call, always a real person
