여기는 어떤 곳인가
Italy is a third cheaper than France and a quarter cheaper than Germany, the health service is universal and good, and the elective residence permit is a published route for someone arriving on passive income. The reservations are administrative rather than structural: the permit forbids work, the questura queues are long, and since 2024 joining the health service voluntarily costs a percentage of income rather than a flat fee.
절차는 이렇습니다
Elective residence visa, applied for at the consulate
Passive income, and accommodation already secured in Italy.
Permesso di soggiorno, then the codice fiscale
The tax number is what everything else — bank, health service, utilities — hangs off.
Register with the health service
Voluntary registration is now an income-based contribution rather than a flat fee.
