"Alison is a total rock star at navigating immigration to Italy. My wife and myself came to her with a likely challenging prospect of moving to Italy on a short timeline while my wife is pregnant. And simply put, this move would not have been possible without Alison."
"I cannot recommend Why Wait Italy—and in particular, Alison—highly enough. From start to finish, Alison was an incredible support in helping me secure my Italian visa. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your success."
"Alison possesses exceptional expertise in navigating the complexities of acquiring visas, securing residency, and pursuing citizenship. Her deep familiarity with the inner workings of Italian consulates and Italian bureaucracy is invaluable."
"Alison helped us to focus on obtaining the necessary documents and, with her assistance, we obtained our Visas less than a week after our consulate appointment. We are convinced the short turn around was because we were well-organized and well-prepared all due to Alison’s guidance. We can’t say enough good things about Alison and her team at Why Wait Italy."

Alison Swindells
Founder
I’ve always had a passion for languages and law, which led me to study both extensively—earning a major in Italian and a degree in law. My career has been quite diverse, encompassing practicing law and driving business development for several large multinational corporations.
During my 20s, I spent eight incredible years living in Italy, fully immersing myself in the rich culture and beautiful language. My journey has also taken me to the UK, North America, and Australia, each place offering unique experiences and perspectives.
Upon returning to Italy, I was struck by how difficult and convoluted the relocation process could be. This experience inspired me to create “Why Wait Italy.” My goal is to provide a comprehensive solution to make the transition to life in Italy as smooth and hassle-free as possible. I wanted to build the kind of support system that I wished had been available to me during my own return journey.
I’ve been there, and I’ve created the service I wish existed for me.
