ITALIAN CITIZENSHIP LAWYER

​"Many people choose to move to Italy because it offers benefits and programs to help immigrants fit into Italian society. If foreigners decide to settle in Italy, they can even apply for Italian citizenship. While permanent residency is an option, being a citizen comes with more advantages
​In 2023, our Italian citizenship lawyer offers a range of services to help foreign citizens navigate the process of obtaining Italian citizenship. Here's a list of the services we provide:
  1. Assistance in applying for visas that can speed up the citizenship acquisition process.
  2. Help in applying for permanent residence permits with the Italian authorities.
  3. Guidance on obtaining Italian citizenship through national legislation.
  4. Legal support in preparing the necessary documents for Italian citizenship applications.
  5. Assistance in obtaining citizenship in Italy through the Golden Visa Scheme.

Foreigners have various paths to obtain Italian citizenship, each with its own requirements:
  1. Descent: If you have Italian ancestors, you may qualify for Italian citizenship without living in Italy.
  2. Adoption: Being adopted by Italian citizens can grant you Italian citizenship.
  3. Permanent Residence: You can apply for citizenship after meeting specific residency requirements in Italy.
  4. Marriage: Marrying an Italian citizen and meeting residency conditions can make you eligible for citizenship.
  5. Investment: Making significant contributions to the Italian economy may lead to citizenship, targeting specific immigrant categories.
PERMANENT RESIDENCE AS A MEANS TO CITIZENSHIP IN ITALY IN 2023

A foreign applicant must first become a permanent resident to obtain Italian citizenship. For this to happen, a minimum period of living here and a good knowledge of the legislation and Italian language and culture is mandatory.

HOW TO OBTAIN CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT IN ITALY?

Like other countries around the world, Italy has a Golden Visa program dedicated to non-EU citizens who want to apply for citizenship in Italy. 

HOW OBTAINING CITIZENSHIP BY MARRIAGE?


Foreigners can also become Italian citizens if they marry with an Italian national. There are certain advantages provided by this procedure, one of them being the fact that the foreigner will be able to receive the citizenship in a much shorter period of time, compared to the standard procedure, which is of 10 years. 

When a foreign national marries an Italian citizen abroad, Italy recognizes the marriage. The foreign spouse can apply for Italian citizenship, but they must wait for three years from the date of the marriage before they can start the citizenship application process. However, if the couple has children under 18 or has adopted children and the marriage took place outside Italy, the waiting period is reduced by half, allowing the foreign spouse to begin the citizenship application process in 1.5 years.
