Italy's picturesque scenery, Dolce Vita lifestyle, and tasty cuisine draw thousands of expats worldwide — but the country has so much more to offer.
Those who want to escape the fast-paced life would love Italy. Italians savour every moment, take midday breaks, and enjoy leisure dinners on weeknights. If you're looking for a life away from the hustle and bustle, Italy is the place to be.
Living in Italy is quite affordable compared to many countries. While Florence and Milan are expensive, other parts of the country are still very reasonable. Real estate prices are a steal in many rural areas, with three-bedroom apartments ranging between €1,000 and €2,000. Italy's well-facilitated transport routes also reduce additional costs.
Visiting other European countries is much easier when you're already based in Italy. Excellent transit options — including flights and trains — make travel to and from the UK straightforward. Budget airlines keep ticket prices low, and scenic views are never far away.
Moving from the UK to Italy involves several key considerations post-Brexit. UK citizens need a visa to stay for more than 90 days, and a residency permit must be obtained within 8 days of arrival for extended stays.
Italy is consistently one of the most popular destinations for UK expats — drawn by the culture, the climate, the food, and the pace of life. Whether you're retiring to Tuscany, relocating to Milan for work, or making a long-held dream a reality on the Amalfi Coast, Italy offers a deeply rewarding change of lifestyle.
Post-Brexit, UK citizens can stay in Italy visa-free for up to 90 days. For longer stays, an Elective Residency Visa or work permit is needed, along with customs documentation for your household goods. Gentlevan Removals runs regular part load routes to Italy and handles all the customs paperwork — so you arrive relaxed, not stressed.
Costs vary depending on volume, origin and destination, and service type. Part loads are more economical for smaller volumes; dedicated loads offer faster, exclusive service for larger moves. Contact us for a free, personalised quote.
