Your journey to Italy starts here!

Italian citizenship by residence for descendants up to the second degree allows children and grandchildren of Italian citizens living in Italy to apply for citizenship after residing legally and continuously in the country for at least three years.

A.I.R.E. is the mandatory registry for Italian citizens living abroad for more than 12 months. It allows access to consular services and the right to vote from abroad. Registration must be done at the consulate within 90 days of arriving in the new country. There are exceptions, and penalties for non-registration.

Second-degree relatives of Italian citizens (parents, children, siblings, grandparents, and grandchildren) can obtain a residence permit if they live with the Italian citizen and are financially supported. Actual cohabitation is essential.
