What You Need to Know

Complete guide to understanding your path to Italian residency through investment

The Investor Visa (Italian Golden Visa) is an exclusive instrument designed for non-European citizens who wish to transfer their residence to Italy through a concrete economic contribution to the national economy.

Italy, with its cultural heritage, strategic position in Europe, and a rapidly evolving entrepreneurial ecosystem, offers a privileged context for those who intend to live and invest with foresight.

This type of visa allows legal entry and stay in Italy for at least two years, with the possibility of renewal and progressive access to permanent residency and Italian citizenship.

💎 The visa is not just a pass to live in Italy — it's also the key to one of the most advantageous tax regimes in Europe, designed specifically for those with international wealth.
