Italian Citizenship Requirements and How to Qualify
1. Citizenship by Descent
Got Italian roots? You could be eligible for citizenship by descent. If you have Italian ancestors, we’ll help you trace your lineage and secure your place in the Italian community. Reconnect with your heritage and make Italy part of your legacy.
2. Citizenship by Residence
Establish a deep, lasting connection with Italy by converting years of residency into citizenship. This path solidifies your bond with Italian society and culture, recognizing your commitment to making Italy your home. Typically, you need to have legally resided in Italy for at least ten years (or four years for EU nationals) to be eligible.
3. Citizenship by Marriage
If you are married to an Italian citizen, you may qualify for Italian citizenship after three years of marriage if living abroad, or after two years if residing in Italy. This pathway acknowledges and strengthens the family unit, providing a streamlined route for spouses to integrate fully into Italian life.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Italy allow dual citizenship?
Yes, Italy permits dual citizenship, allowing individuals to retain their original nationality while acquiring Italian citizenship. This enables you to enjoy the benefits of citizenship in two countries, expanding your rights and opportunities globally.
2. Do I need to live in Italy to apply for Italian citizenship?
Not necessarily. While residency is required for citizenship through naturalization, you can apply for Italian citizenship through descent or marriage without residing in Italy. Each pathway has specific requirements that do not always necessitate living in Italy.
3. Is it easy to obtain citizenship in Italy?
The ease of obtaining Italian citizenship varies by the method of application. Citizenship through descent can be more straightforward if you have verifiable Italian ancestry. However, citizenship through residency or marriage involves more complex legal requirements and a longer process. Engaging with expert guidance can streamline this process.
4. Is knowledge of Italian necessary for citizenship?
For citizenship through naturalization and marriage, a basic knowledge of the Italian language is required. However, for citizenship through descent, there are no language requirements. It’s beneficial to understand Italian to integrate more effectively into the community and culture.
