Your Legal Partner in Italy

Moccia Legal covers the full range of legal needs for those moving to or living in Italy — citizenship by ancestry (jure sanguinis), visas, residency, family reunification, and disputes with Italian authorities. Our bilingual team of Italian and Italian-American attorneys and consultants can help.

Explore our services below, or contact us for a free consultation.

CoNTACT US

1. Italian Dual Citizenship (Jure Sanguinis)

We help you claim Italian citizenship through ancestry (jure sanguinis) — from eligibility assessment and document research to court petitions (including 1948 cases and generational-limit challenges) and consular applications, all the way to your Italian passport.

2. Italian Visas

We help our clients find the right visa for living, working, studying, or retiring in Italy, and prepare a complete, consulate-ready application.

We assist with:

  • Elective residency visas (for those living off passive income/retirement)
  • Work visas and self-employment visas
  • Family reunification / cohabitation visas
  • Student visas
  • Digital nomad visas
  • Visa renewals and conversions once in Italy

3. Residence Permit (Permesso di Soggiorno)

Italian law requires you to formalize your stay with a permesso di soggiorno within 8 days of arriving on a long-stay visa. We manage the process with the local Questura — from the initial kit postale application to renewals and document requests.

We also represent clients in disputes with the Questura, including contested income-sourcing requirements for residenza elettiva permits, and appeals before the Tribunale Amministrativo Regionale (TAR) where needed.

4. EU Long-Term / Family Residence Card (Carta di Soggiorno)

4. EU Long-Term / Family Residence Card (Carta di Soggiorno)

4. EU Long-Term / Family Residence Card (Carta di Soggiorno)

We handle Carta di Soggiorno applications under D.Lgs. 30/2007 and related EU free-movement rules — for non-EU family members of EU citizens relocating to Italy, and for those who qualify for long-term resident status after five years of legal residence, including mixed-nationality couples and cross-border family situations.

5. Elective Residency (Residenza Elettiva)

4. EU Long-Term / Family Residence Card (Carta di Soggiorno)

4. EU Long-Term / Family Residence Card (Carta di Soggiorno)

The residenza elettiva visa and permit are for those with sufficient passive income who want to reside in Italy without working. We guide clients through the income and documentation requirements — including sourcing and apostilling financial and personal documents — and liaise with local Comuni and Questure to avoid delays and errors.

6. Family Reunification (Ricongiungimento Familiare)

4. EU Long-Term / Family Residence Card (Carta di Soggiorno)

7. Appeals & Administrative Litigation (Ricorsi, TAR)

Bringing a spouse, child, or other eligible family member to Italy involves specific income, housing, and documentation thresholds. We prepare and file nulla osta applications, coordinate with Italian consulates abroad, and support families through to residence registration.

7. Appeals & Administrative Litigation (Ricorsi, TAR)

9. Translations of Documents and Certified Translations

7. Appeals & Administrative Litigation (Ricorsi, TAR)

When an claim for citizenship is wrongly denied, you have the right to challenge it. We represent clients in:

  • Appeals before the Tribunale Amministrativo Regionale (TAR)
  • Citizenship court petitions following administrative or consular refusals
  • Challenges related to recent legislative changes (e.g., the generational limits introduced by L. 74/2025)

8. Real Estate Legal Assistance

9. Translations of Documents and Certified Translations

9. Translations of Documents and Certified Translations

We help clients navigate the Italian real estate system as legal consultants — narrowing down what they're looking for and connecting them with the right real estate agent:

  • Acting as your Power of Attorney to sign at closing when you can't be in Italy in person
  • Coordinating with notaries and guiding you through closing
  • Assistance with mortgage requirements and lender documentation
  • Helping you set up utilities once closing is complete
  • Connecting you with trusted local professionals — surveyors, accountants, and others outside our scope

9. Translations of Documents and Certified Translations

9. Translations of Documents and Certified Translations

9. Translations of Documents and Certified Translations

Many Italian administrative and judicial procedures require certified or sworn (asseverata) translations of foreign documents — birth, marriage, and death certificates, court records, diplomas, and more. We offer both certified/sworn and simple translations so your documents are accepted by Italian Comuni, consulates, and courts without delays caused by translation errors or missing certifications.

10. Codice Fiscale

11. Opening an Italian Bank Account

11. Opening an Italian Bank Account

The codice fiscale is Italy's tax identification number, and it's required for nearly everything — opening a bank account, signing a lease, buying property, registering residency, or starting a visa or citizenship application. We help clients obtain their codice fiscale quickly, whether applying from abroad through an Italian consulate or in person once in Italy.

11. Opening an Italian Bank Account

11. Opening an Italian Bank Account

11. Opening an Italian Bank Account

Opening a bank account in Italy — as a resident, non-resident, or non-Italian citizen — can involve confusing documentation requirements and bank-specific rules that vary widely. We help clients prepare what's needed — codice fiscale, proof of residence or non-resident status, and other required documents — and guide them through the account-opening process, whether in person or, where the bank allows it, remotely.

12. Mortgage & Financing Assistance

11. Opening an Italian Bank Account

12. Mortgage & Financing Assistance

Navigating the Italian lending process as a non-resident or non-Italian citizen involves requirements that differ significantly from those in the US, UK, or elsewhere, and not all Italian banks lend to foreign buyers on the same terms. We help clients understand the documentation typically required and coordinate with lenders and notaries throughout the process. For clients who cannot be physically present in Italy, we can also assist as your Power of Attorney where needed.
