REQUIREMENTS

Understanding Italian Residency Requirements

Why you don't need to relocate permanently to Italy
Important Legal Distinction
Under Italian Law No. 91 & 92, establishing residency is about meeting specific legal requirements, not about continuous physical presence in Italy.
What is Required
• Obtain Codice Fiscale (Italian Tax Code)
• Sign a valid lease agreement
• Complete police verification
• Register with local commune
What is not Required
• Continuous physical presence in Italy
• Permanent relocation to Italy
• Extended stays beyond verification
• Regular visits to maintain status
How It Works
Initial Setup
Complete the required administrative steps to establish legal residency (Codice Fiscale, lease, etc.)
Verification
Complete the mandatory police verification of your registered address
Return Home
Once requirements are met and verified, you can return to your home country while your application processes
This process is established under Italian Law No. 91 & 92, which focuses on legal requirements rather than physical presence for citizenship applications.

Your Questions About Italian Citizenship, Answered

Who is eligible for Italian citizenship by descent?

Eligibility is now limited to individuals who can demonstrate a direct ancestral link to Italy through a parent or grandparent born in Italy. Applicants must also prove a genuine and recent connection to Italy, such as recent residence or direct family ties. This change aims to ensure applicants have an "effective bond" (vincolo effettivo) with the country.

Is there a generational limit for applying?

Yes. The new decree restricts automatic citizenship by descent to two generations: applicants must have at least one parent or grandparent born in Italy. Descendants beyond this lineage, such as great-grandchildren, are no longer automatically eligible.

What documents are required?

Birth, marriage, and death certificates for all ancestors in the direct line, plus proof of the Italian ancestor’s naturalization status. Documents must be apostilled and translated into Italian.

Can I apply if my Italian ancestor naturalized in another country?

Yes, provided the ancestor naturalized after the birth of their child.

How long does the application process take?

As little as 6 months for those applying in Italy, and 12-24 months for those applying abroad, depending on the complexity of the case and the availability of the necessary documentation.

Can my minor children obtain Italian citizenship with me?

Yes, if they fall within the second-generation limit.

Do I need to speak Italian to apply?

No language requirement exists for citizenship by descent.
