Major Update: How the 2025 Emergency Decree Impacts Italian Dual Citizenship by Descent Applicants

Significant changes are currently unfolding for individuals pursuing Italian dual citizenship. A newly issued emergency decree from the Italian government introduces restrictions, including generational limits on those applying for citizenship by ancestry or jure sanguinis, while also signaling possible reforms to the recognition process through female ancestors and the overall application structure. These developments may have a considerable impact on eligibility for dual citizenship and the future of Italian citizenship by descent. 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 these new rules affect current and future applications, what exceptions may apply, and what to expect from the proposed legislative changes.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 Rafael Di Furia 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 #italiandualcitizenship #dualcitizenshipTopics & Timestamps:0:00 – Intro & Opening Thoughts0:42 - The recent update5:35 - Validity of the Decree7:18 - Proposed changes13:00 - If and when the proposals could be approved13:38 - Review of the decree14:51 - Closing Thoughts & Outro
