Residency Visa in the age of COVID?

4 years ago
Hi all:

The situation is kind of new. But, I'm hoping others looking to move to Italy might have insights. Thank you in advance for your help.

My wife and I began the process of getting our elective residency visas, gathering the documents, scheduling the appointment. Then the EU shut down non-essential travel from the U.S. I believe returning residents are allowed in (an American friend who lives in Venice recently made back to spend his two weeks locked up).

I haven't been able to get response from my consulate or the group in the embassy dealing with COVID questions: Are they even taking applications for elective residency visas? And, if we were lucky enough to get one, would we be let in. Any chance anyone knows anything about this?

Thanks again!
