The American's Guide to the Italy Golden Visa

Colin Maurer |

 Step-by-step guide to obtaining Italy’s Investor Golden Visa, from Nulla Osta to visa approval, investment timeline, residency registration, and pathway to citizenship.

 

The Italy Investor Golden Visa program provides a fast, flexible way to gain European residency while investing in a growing economy with much to offer. With a minimum investment starting at €250,000, successful applicants and their families gain access to a range of benefits.

Step 1

Following an initial consultation and due diligence screening, we will provide you with a Client Engagement Agreement document for review and signature. Upon receiving the signed agreement and retainer payment, our legal partners will complete all the necessary government forms and supporting documents.

Step 2

The documents and forms will be submitted to the official Italy investor web platform.

Step 3

Apply for your Nulla Osta. Submit your application online through the Italian Ministry of Economic Development. Processing takes about one month.

Step 4

Receive Nulla Osta approval. Once approved, your Nulla Osta certificate will be valid for six months. Before it expires, you will apply for your residence visa.

Step 5

Apply for the Italian Investor Golden Visa. Submit your application at the nearest Italian embassy or consulate with your Nulla Osta, in conjunction with your additional supporting documents.

Step 6

Following approval of your Investor Golden Visa with initial validity for two years, travel to Italy and register at the local police headquarters (Questura).

Step 7

Make your investment. Complete your investment or donation within three months of entering Italy on your visa.

Step 8

Maintain your investment. Keep your investment for the full duration of your residence permit. Don’t “cash out.”
