Long term non-resident stay

Is there a way to live long-term in Italy without going through the residenza elettiva route?  I am retired and am able to fulfill all the R.E requirements, but am wondering if there are other alternatives.

Thanks,
Joyce

Hi Joyce and welcome to Expat.com!

Hope that you'll soon be enlightened.;)

Harmonie.

The long-term visas for living in Italy, for a period longer than 90 days,, are specified by law. They may be issued only for: adoption, medical care, diplomatic reasons, self-employment, employment, mission, religious reasons, re-entry, “residenza elettiva”, family reunion, study, working holiday.

kind regards

Marco

Thanks, Marco--that settles that!  I'll continue with the process of residenza elettiva.
