Buying Property in Italy – Can You Get A Visa & Live There Legally?

from Ask The Italian Lawyer · host Marco Permunian & Rafael Di Furia

Many people assume that buying a house in Italy automatically grants them the right to live there, but Italian immigration law works differently. Property ownership can be helpful in certain visa applications, yet it is not in itself a basis for residency. For those considering citizenship by descent, spousal residency permits, or various visa categories such as the investor visa, elective residency visa, or the newly introduced digital nomad visa, understanding how property factors into the process is essential. In this episode of Ask The Italian Lawyer hosted by Italian attorney Marco Permunian and dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, we’ll learn the answer to the question: does purchasing property in Italy give you the right to stay and live in Italy?For help with the Italian citizenship process and more information about Italian Citizenship Assistance visit ICA's website:https://ItalianCitizenshipAssistance.comFor help with buying a home in Italy, and more information about Italian Real Estate Lawyers visit IREL's website:https://ItalianRealEstateLawyers.comTo contact Italian Attorney Marco Permunian and his team at Italian Citizenship Assistance & Italian Real Estate Lawyers:https://italiancitizenshipassistance.com/contact/https://italianrealestatelawyers.com/contact-us/To see more from @RafaelDiFuria living abroad and life as a dual-citizen expat check out his YouTube channel and website:Http://YouTube.com/RafaelDiFuriaHttp://RafaelDiFuria.com#italianrealestate #italianproperty #Italianlawyer
