There’s a very nice American woman on social media who has moved to Italy and now dispenses her knowledge of the country for others. Unfortunately a lot of what she says is wrong. I saw a broadcast of hers where she was talking about residency and health care for Americans who have got their citizenship by jure sanguinis. It was completely erroneous. If you have just got your citizenship, and come and live in Italy you will not be eligible for free healthcare just because you get your residency. To get free healthcare you will have to have paid into the Italian system for the previous five years, (as all other immigrants) or have had residency in Italy for 5 years in the past. ![]()
In a nutshell, even if you are Italian you don’t have the right to free healthcare unless you’ve already paid into the Italian state system.
