Italy

Investor visa and elective residence

Country overview

Italy offers two routes for people who want to establish themselves in the European Union on the strength of their own capital: an investor visa, and an elective residence visa for those with independent income.

Both lead to an Italian residence permit, which allows you to live in Italy and travel within the Schengen area once it is issued.

We confirm which of the two matches your profile, prepare the financial and civil documentation, and coordinate the filing with the Italian consulate.
