Investor Visa
La Dolce Vita
A program with an Italian soul
First introduced in 2017 by the Italian government and improved in subsequent years, the Investor Visa offers non-EU citizens a minimum 2-year entry into Italy in exchange for strategic investment in public debt, Italian companies, or a donation.
Investor Visa
More specifically, the Visa is granted for
one of the following investment types:
- an investment in Italian government bonds of at least 2 million euros;
- a philanthropic donation of at least 1 million euros to associations or foundations active in the fields of culture, art, music, education, immigration management, scientific research, or the conservation of cultural and landscape heritage;
- an investment in a private Italian corporation (“S.p.a.”: joint stock company/ ”S.r.l.”: private limited company) or listed on the market of the Italian Stock Exchange for at least 500 thousand euros;
- an investment in an innovative startup, as defined by Legislative Decree 179/2012, for at least 250 thousand euros.
The visa program does not require applicants to be residents of Italy. However, those who choose to transfer their tax residence to Italy can benefit from a favorable tax regime. This includes a flat tax of 100 thousand euros on income generated from foreign business operations.
