Italy’s Golden Visa, known as the Dolce Visa (formerly the Italian Investor Visa), grants residency to applicants who invest in one of the following categories:
Currently, Italy does not offer a residency programme for direct real estate investments. However, one of the most accessible options under the Investor Visa Programme is a €500,000 investment in a limited company. Oxbridge collaborates with a private equity fund, offering investors an opportunity to become shareholders in a luxury hospitality venture. This initiative supports the development of high-end hotels across Italy, providing a passive, hands-off investment option that satisfies programme requirements.
After making the required investment and maintaining tax residency in Italy for ten years, applicants may become eligible to apply for Italian citizenship. However, if residing in Italy is not part of your plan and your primary goal is obtaining citizenship in a European country, Portugal’s Golden Visa programme may be a more suitable alternative.
In addition to the required investment, applicants must provide several documents, including a clean criminal record, valid personal identification, and proof of sufficient funds.
With support from Oxbridge’s expert advisors, you will begin with a comprehensive consultation and a pre-application background check. Our team will guide you in selecting the most suitable investment option under Italy’s Dolce Visa programme. Once your application file is complete and submitted, residency visas are often approved within 60 days. While most of the process can be handled remotely, applicants must make one trip to Italy to submit biometric data.
Successful applicants gain the right to live, work, and study in Italy. The main applicant can also include family members such as a spouse, dependent children, and dependent parents in the application. After five years of residency, applicants may apply for Permanent Residency, and citizenship becomes a possibility after ten years of full-time residency.
Italy offers a vibrant lifestyle filled with rich culture, breathtaking landscapes, and world-renowned cuisine. As home to some of Europe’s most iconic cities and tourist destinations, Italy continues to attract visitors and residents from around the world.
