Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Why Wait Italy different from other immigration consultancies?
Why Wait Italy offers a truly end-to-end, white-glove relocation service specifically designed for English-speaking clients. Unlike many consultancies, our key differentiator lies in our integrated approach. Founded by an Australian-trained lawyer with deep international business experience, we combine:
1. Legal & Tax Integration: Comprehensive visa packages include consultations with our vetted network of English-speaking Italian legal and tax professionals, alongside assistance securing your Italian tax code (Codice Fiscale) and Permit to Stay (Permesso di Soggiorno). These crucial services often incur significant extra costs elsewhere (typically ranging from $1,500 to $5,000 USD combined).
2. Technology-Enhanced Process: We utilize a secure, user-friendly client portal for streamlined document submission, application tracking, and communication, minimizing common errors and providing real-time updates.
3. Holistic Support: From the initial strategy assessment to post-arrival support, we provide step-by-step guidance, personalized assistance, and proactive communication, ensuring a smoother transition to life in Italy.
4. Transparent Pricing: Our package fees are clearly outlined upfront, with no hidden costs for the included core services.
How do you ensure the accuracy of the legal and taxation advice provided?
We maintain a curated network of highly reputable, experienced, and vetted English-speaking legal and taxation professionals based in Italy. Crucially, initial consultations with these experts are integrated into our comprehensive visa service packages. This ensures you receive timely, accurate, and reliable advice tailored specifically to your chosen immigration pathway and personal circumstances directly from qualified Italian professionals, without the need to source and vet them independently. Our founder's legal background also provides an additional layer of understanding in coordinating these essential advisory services.
How do you ensure the security and privacy of my personal information?
Protecting your personal information is paramount. We employ bank-grade encryption and operate a secure, dedicated client portal for all document submissions and sensitive communications. Our processes strictly adhere to the data protection protocols mandated by GDPR EU legislation, ensuring the confidentiality and security of your information throughout your relocation journey.
What level of support can I expect during the application process?
You can expect comprehensive, "white-glove" support from our dedicated team throughout the entire process. This includes:
• Personalized Guidance: Tailored advice and step-by-step instructions specific to your visa type and situation.
• Proactive Updates: Regular communication and status updates via our secure client portal.
• Dedicated Assistance: Prompt responses to your queries and ongoing support from initial application preparation through to consular interviews and post-arrival requirements like the Permesso di Soggiorno application.
• Coordination: Seamless management of included consultations with legal and tax professionals.Our goal is to make the complex process as clear, manageable, and stress-free as possible.
How do you handle any issues or complications that arise during the application process?
While our meticulous process aims to anticipate and prevent issues, immigration procedures can sometimes present unexpected challenges. With our extensive experience and legal understanding, our approach is to proactively identify potential hurdles before they occur. Should complications arise, we work collaboratively with you, leveraging our expertise and our network of Italian professionals to develop effective, tailored solutions quickly. Our focus is on navigating challenges efficiently to keep your application on track and achieve your relocation goals.
How do I start the application process with Why Wait Italy?
The process begins with our mandatory Initial Consultation:
1. Book Consultation: Visit the Why Wait Italy website to schedule and pay for your 40-minute initial video consultation ($65 USD).
2. Assessment Call: During this call, we'll discuss your goals, assess your individual circumstances, and recommend the most suitable immigration strategy and visa pathway for you.
3. Engage Services: Following the consultation, if you decide to proceed, you will receive a private link of your service agreement to sign to formally engage our services and commence work on your chosen visa package.
Is visa approval guaranteed if I use your services?
No immigration consultancy can, or should, guarantee visa approval. The final decision always rests solely with the relevant Italian authorities (e.g., the Italian Consulate in your jurisdiction or the Questura in Italy).
However, a core part of our service and ethical commitment is proactive assessment and honesty. During our initial evaluation and throughout the preparation process, based on our extensive experience, if we identify significant factors that make visa approval highly unlikely or problematic, it is our responsibility to inform you directly. Our goal is to identify and mitigate potential issues before an application reaches the decision stage, allowing us to adjust strategy, address concerns, or manage expectations realistically.
We believe in transparency and do not make promises we cannot keep. While we cannot guarantee the final outcome decided by the authorities, engaging Why Wait Italy ensures your application is meticulously prepared, complete, and compelling. Our expertise, integrated legal/tax support, and proactive approach significantly maximize your chances of a successful outcome by presenting the strongest possible case.
