Italy Investor Visa Requirements

The Italy Investor Visa is your path to living legally in Italy through financial contribution. But getting approved takes more than just wiring funds. Every part of the process needs to be handled with exact precision—from picking the right investment vehicle to passing through the legal, banking, and government filters.

We work directly with foreign investors who want this done right—without the typical delays, wrong filings, or lack of clarity.

We Handle the Legal Grind So You Can Focus on the Investment

Our role isn’t just to point you toward a government checklist. We roll up our sleeves and guide you through each stage—starting from the very first consultation, all the way to your final residency permit being issued in Italy.

Whether you’re planning to invest in an Italian tech startup or buy long-term bonds, we take on the technical steps so your plans stay in motion.

What We Give (The Good Stuff That Gets You Approved)

💶 Structured Investment Options with Legal Backing

We help you pick from the four legal investment paths allowed under the Italy investor visa requirements:

€2M in government bonds
€500K in an Italian company
€250K in a registered startup
€1M donation to a public-interest project

✅ Example: A Canadian family invested €250K in a health-tech startup based in Rome. We verified that the company was on the government list and helped with every form tied to the transfer.

📂 Application That Matches What Italy Wants

Most rejections happen because people treat the Italy Investor Visa like a bank form. It’s not. Your application must tell the right story in legal, financial, and procedural language.

✅ Example: A Dubai-based investor was denied twice before working with us. We restructured his portfolio documents, wrote a proper legal brief, and the Nulla Osta was granted in 17 days.

🧾 Nulla Osta (Certificate of No Impediment) Filing

Without this certificate, you can’t even apply for the visa. We handle the direct communication with the Investor Visa Committee and prepare your file to match their strict requirements.

✅ Example: We secured a Nulla Osta in under 30 days for a British national by fixing his document formatting and cross-verifying investment timing.

🏛️ Consulate Coordination Without Guessing

We handle scheduling, prepping the consulate file, and making sure your paperwork is accepted without back-and-forth. Each consulate has its quirks—we know how to adjust your file for London, New York, Mumbai, or Tokyo.

✅ Example: A U.S. investor was approved at the NY consulate on the first try after we built a localized packet for their file intake system.

🇮🇹 Support After You Land in Italy

After your visa is approved, you’re not done. You need your residence card (permesso di soggiorno), tax code, and Italian banking. We handle this locally.

✅ Example: A South African business owner had her residence permit and tax ID set up within 10 business days of arrival—no wasted time, no confusion.

Real Investor Outcomes (Not Generic Examples)

✅ A Japanese investor chose the €1M donation path to support art restoration. We worked with the Ministry of Culture to validate the donation and got him his visa within 45 days.
✅ An Indian founder placed €500K in an Italian AI company. We helped conduct basic due diligence, filed all proof of transfer, and managed his family’s dependent visas.
✅ A German investor bought €2M in long-term bonds through his EU portfolio manager. We structured the file to comply with the Italian Treasury reporting rules.
✅ A Singaporean crypto VC placed funds in a Milan-based fintech startup. We coordinated with the startup to issue the required share confirmation legally accepted by the visa committee.

FAQs – The Ones That Actually Matter

Do I need to be in Italy to start the visa process?

No. The Nulla Osta can be filed from your home country. Most steps are remote—except biometric data after arrival.

Is the €250K startup route real?

Yes—but the startup must be listed on the official registry of “innovative startups.” We’ll verify that before you transfer any funds.

Can I bring my spouse and kids?

Yes. They are covered under family reunification, and we handle their residence permit applications after your main visa is approved.

What’s the real timeline for approval?

30–45 days for Nulla Osta, then consulate appointment scheduling varies by country (usually 1–4 weeks). Add 7–10 days post-arrival for final formalities.

Can I use a trust or holding company to invest?

You can, but ownership documentation must be watertight. We’ll review your structure and flag what needs editing.
