Dettagli del programma

Italy's Investor Visa offers EU residency through qualifying investments: startup capital, company shares, government bonds, or philanthropic donations. Real estate investment does not qualify for this program.

A key attraction is the absence of minimum stay requirements for visa holders, combined with access to Italy's flat tax regime of EUR 200K/year on foreign income for wealthy individuals.

The pathway to citizenship is longer than many EU alternatives at 10 years, requiring B1 Italian language proficiency and a naturalization test.

Important: The program has been suspended for Russian and Belarusian citizens since July 2023 per EU Recommendation C(2022) 2028.
