Thank you for watching this special interview with our amazing tenant Nick 🌟 Watch his journey from the USA to Puglia, and his Visa Residency story 😀❤
Any brits with stories out there?
What a wonderful interview with such a lovely man. You have a fabulous tenant and a very eloquent man right there, who explained things so clearly. David and I were just saying today that we are happy to pay a lawyer to help us through our residency/permesso processes, if it makes it simpler and clearer for us. It's worth it.
We are well ahead of things though, as we already have our Conad card LOL 🤣😂🤣Thanks lovelies…that was fabulous 🥰😍🙏🙏🙏
Great show and congratulations, Nick! Houston is our consulate too – arbitrary $ requirements for married couple. We've lived in Mexico 5 years and the consulate requirements were not uniform, so I'm also not surprised.
Yay love these episodes, bravi 😘🥰
It’s Carlos and Alice Balli from Texas USA that was a fantastic interview with great updated info. We hope to make that move hopefully with Gods help at the end of this year or next year. Thanks for all you do✌️
Hi guys. Great conversation with Nick. I see that Galatone has a train station. Is there a good service to Lecce? And, what about buses? I ask because it's probable that I'd have to pass a driving test if I make the move, and do not want to be stuck in a place with poor public transport. Also, are there taxis? I'm British but I live in Bangkok and can apply for an ERV through the Italian Embassy here. I meet the passive income threshold, but I'd use a lawyer if I decide to make an application. A final thought. I wonder if the new income requirement for couples will cause a drop off in the number of ERV applications? Grazie mille 😎.
