Does anyone have experience with or knowledge about establishing residency as an expat retiree in Italy -- as a liveaboard?
Steps required for landlubbers:
1. Before entering Italy -- get from one's home consulate: visto per dimora - long stay visa/elective residence visa (one must meet financial, medical insurance and housing requirements).
2. Upon arrival in Italy -- get from the questura: permesso di soggiorno (PdiS) - permit to stay.
3. Finally, from the comune: get residenza (residency) permit.
Are the steps the same if one were to purchase a yacht and live aboard (or cruise) in Italian waters? Is it even possible? In other words, could a yacht owned by an expat be considered his "permanent home" for residency purposes?
