Can You Still Claim Italian Citizenship Under the Old Rules?

from The Italian Citizenship Podcast · host Italian Citizenship Assistance

Italian citizenship by descent may still remain possible under the old rules for some people who were already trying to apply before the 2025 decree changed the legal framework. Consular booking attempts, waiting lists, and prior communications can all play a role in showing that recognition was being pursued before the rules changed, particularly in cases now being brought before the Italian courts. In this episode of the Italian Citizenship Podcast hosted by Italian attorney Marco Permunian and dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, we’ll learn more about how recognition under the previous citizenship rules may still be available in certain cases.For help with the Italian citizenship process and more information about Italian Citizenship Assistance visit ICA's website:https://ItalianCitizenshipAssistance.comTo contact Italian Attorney Marco Permunian and his team of dual-citizenship experts and attorneys you can use the contact form on the Italian Citizenship Assistance website:https://italiancitizenshipassistance.com/contact/To see more from  @RafaelDiFuria  about life in Italy and life as a dual-citizen expat check out his YouTube channel and website:Http://YouTube.com/RafaelDiFuriaHttp://RafaelDiFuria.com#italiancitizenship #tajanidecree #italiandualcitizenship
