Italy – Investor Visa Program
Italy offers a flexible Investor Visa program that supports startups, established companies, and government bonds, granting investors long-term residence.
Italy’s Investor Visa program is ideal for high-net-worth individuals looking to contribute to Italy’s economy. Investors can choose from multiple options: €500,000 in startups, €1 million in established companies, €2 million in government bonds, or €1 million in philanthropic projects. The program grants a two-year renewable residence permit, with the opportunity to extend and eventually apply for citizenship after 10 years. Italy offers investors not just residency, but also access to special tax regimes for newcomers, including flat-tax options. With its global business hubs, cultural heritage, and strong lifestyle appeal, Italy is a prime destination for long-term settlement.
