Italy is a dream destination for many. However, bureaucratic complexity remains a significant obstacle for those who wish to settle in the country.

Citizenship process, consular services, residence permit, tax returns, access to the health system and even obtaining a driver's license are identified as challenging areas. These tasks often require detailed knowledge of the system and often patience to deal with delays and confusing processes.

The issue of bureaucracy affects both newcomers and those who have lived in the country for years. For many, the challenges lie not only in the procedures themselves, but also in the lack of clear information and the number of documents required.
