Kristine Ripamonti takes the overwhelm out of relocation. We manage every step—housing, paperwork, healthcare, local registration, and more—so you can arrive in Italy ready to live, not just land. Thoughtful, thorough, and tailored to you.
1. Assistance with Residency
Help navigating the application for residency permits (permesso di soggiorno) and registration at the local town hall (anagrafe). This includes gathering the required documentation, booking appointments with the questura (immigration office), and following up on renewals or changes in status (e.g., family reunification, self-employment, EU/Non-EU status). It may also involve obtaining a codice fiscale (Italian tax code), which is essential for almost all legal and financial transactions.
2. Tessera Sanitaria (Health Insurance Card)
Support in applying for or renewing the tessera sanitaria, which allows access to the national healthcare system (SSN). This includes registering with a family doctor (medico di base), understanding co-payments (ticket), and knowing which services are covered. Assistance may be needed for expats in determining eligibility (especially non-EU), navigating regional health agencies (ASST/ATS), and translating documents.
Apartment Hunting (Including Utilities Setup)
Help finding long-term rentals through local agents or online platforms. Services may include:
• Viewing appointments
• Lease negotiation and translation
• Deposits and registration of lease (contratto registrato)
Once rented, assistance can include setting up:
• Electricity (Enel, Edison, etc.)
• Gas
• Water
• WiFi/Internet (TIM, Vodafone, etc.)
• Garbage tax registration (TARI)
• Managing utility name transfers and dealing with bills
