How Retirees Can Get Italian Citizenship Through Residency

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

When it comes to retiring in Italy, one of the biggest questions people have is how that decision can eventually lead to Italian citizenship. For non-EU citizens, getting started usually means applying for a visa like the elective residency visa or in some cases the investor visa, while EU citizens follow a different and simpler path. From there, the length of time you’ll need to live in Italy before applying for citizenship can depend on whether you have Italian ancestry or not, and in some situations citizenship through marriage may even be the faster option. 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: how can retirees get Italian citizenship?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  about living abroad and life as a dual-citizen expat check out his YouTube channel and website:Http://YouTube.com/RafaelDiFuriaHttp://RafaelDiFuria.com#italiancitizenshipbydescent #italiancitizenship #italiandualcitizenship
