The Italian Investors Visa (often called a Golden Visa) is designed to attract Non-EU Citizens that have the capital to invest in an Italian company. In exchange for the investment, you, your spouse and all dependent children will be granted a Visa to live, work and play in Italy - without the need to move your taxable residency.
why the investor visa
What is the Italian Investor Visa
Since 2017, the Italian immigration law has made visas available for individuals who are able to invest in the Italian economy. Unlike other countries, this investment is tied to Italian businesses, not property. Italy wants funding for their Start-Ups and existing business to help them create jobs, research and development.
Furthermore, in 2020, they approved a reduction in the required investment to €500,000 and €250,000 for a start-up (half of what it was before). Making this incredibly flexible and valuable Visa accessible to many more people.
The Reason for the Investor Visa
You must be 18 years old at the time of the application
You must have a clear criminal record
You must invest in one of these four options
the nuts and bolts
The Visa is valid for an initial two years, but can be renewed for another three years. after which time, you can apply for an EU long term permit, cash out your investment and access all of the benefits as a resident of Italy
€500k in share capital of an Italian Limited Company or,
€250k into a designated Italian Start-Up company of your choice or,
€2 million invested in Italian bonds or,
€1 million donation to an Italian charity
The investment must remain in the company of your choice for the duration of your Visa.
Criteria
Your family can work, have access to healthcare, and benefit from unlimited travel to Italy
KEY BENEFITS
The Process
We start with collecting all of the documents required to apply for the clearance and assist you in researching potential investment options. You are free to choose whichever investment you wish, and our team will help with on-the-ground research in Italy.
You do not need to make the investment until 3 months after you arrive in Italy.
There are four steps to the process which includes preparing your application, seeking approval from the Investors Visa Committee, and finally arriving on your Visa.
We must apply to the Investor Visa Committee for your clearance certificate which is called the Nulla Osta. This can take up to 30 days and is valid for six months. You do not need to be present in Italy through this process.
Once we have received the clearance, we can proceed to apply for your Visa.
apply to the committee for the nulla osta
Once we have received your Nulla Osta, and you are ready to move depart for Italy, we will apply at the local consulate for your Visa. This can take between 3 - 5 business days through a fast-track Investors Visa option. You may be required to attend the Consulate in your home country.
prepare your application & choose your investment
We must apply for your permesso di soggiorno within eight (8) days of your arrival in Italy. Our visa specialist will attend all appointments with you to ensure they are smooth and stress free.
