Professionals we'd happily point a friend toward when they're planning the move. Researched by us, paid for by no one — a place to start your own research.
Italy first. Portugal, Spain, France, and Ireland follow
as their relocation portals come online.
Each of the six categories below opens onto its Italy page.
Six areas where the move usually gets complicated for US citizens — and where the right person at the right time makes a real difference. Each category lists professionals for the countries with an open GEO portal.
Attorneys who handle the visa and citizenship paths Americans actually take — elective residence, jure sanguinis under the 2025 reform, family reunification, and the work-authorized routes.
Accountants who handle both halves of the picture — your US returns as an American living abroad, your Italian filings as a new resident, and the coordination in between so the same money doesn't get taxed twice.
Brokers who handle repeating dollar-to-euro transfers — pensions, mortgage payments, the wire for closing day — at better rates than your bank will give you.
The major property portals American buyers use to browse Italian inventory — the search step that comes before contacting an agent.
Movers who've shipped from the US to Italy enough times to know the customs piece, the codice fiscale step, and the realities of transatlantic container shipping.
Brokers and Italian carriers for the months between US departure and enrollment in Italy's public health system — and for keeping private coverage alongside it once you're in.

If you've worked with someone — an attorney, an accountant, anyone who helped you through the move — and you'd send a friend their way, we want to hear about it. Every email gets read.
