If you have ever dreamed of strolling through Rome’s cobblestone streets, sipping espresso in Florence or enjoying the sunsets of Venice. All while holding the keys to the European Union, Italy’s Golden Visa could be your perfect gateway.
This program does not just offer you a residency permit; it opens the door to permanent residency and eventually Italian citizenship. Here is how it works, step-by-step.
Step 1: Start with the Italy Golden Visa
The Italy Golden Visa is a residency-by-investment program designed for non-EU nationals. The most popular and affordable route is the €250,000 Innovative Company investment, which allows you to:
- Live, work and study in Italy
- Travel freely in the Schengen Area
- Include your spouse, children under 18 and dependent parents
- Keep your residency with no minimum stay requirement
Fun Fact: This is one of the most affordable EU residency programs, many others start at €500,000 or more!
Step 2: Your First Residency Permit
Once approved, you will receive a 2-year residence permit. The process looks like this:
- Prepare and submit documents — proof of funds, clean criminal record, investment plan.
- Obtain Nulla Osta — the official certificate of no impediment from the Italian Investor Visa Committee.
- Apply for the visa at the Italian consulate in your home country.
- Enter Italy and complete your investment.
- Receive your 2-year residence permit (Permesso di Soggiorno).
Step 3: Renew for 3 More Years
Before your 2-year permit expires, you can renew for 3 additional years if:
- You maintain your qualifying investment.
- You continue to meet the original program requirements.
- You have no legal issues in Italy or the EU.
Step 4: Become a Permanent Resident
After 5 years of continuous residency (counting from your first permit), you can apply for permanent residency in Italy.
Key points:
- You don’t need to physically live in Italy full-time, but spending more time there can strengthen your ties.
- Permanent residency gives you the right to live in Italy indefinitely, under almost the same conditions as citizens.
Step 5: Apply for Italian Citizenship
Once you have held legal residency for 10 years, you may be eligible to apply for Italian citizenship. This brings:
- An Italian passport — one of the world’s strongest, with visa-free access to over 190 countries.
- The right to live and work anywhere in the EU.
- The ability to pass citizenship on to your children.
