Italy is quite an appealing country for foreign citizens seeking to relocate here, mainly due to the variety of routes to obtaining citizenship here. There are several ways through which an Italian passport can be acquired, and the decision should be made based on the nationality of the applicant and the reason for immigrating to Italy.
HOW TO OBTAIN AN ITALIAN PASSPORT THROUGH RESIDENCY
Residency is one of the most common ways of obtaining an Italian passport. The procedure is nearly the same for EU and non-EU citizens, as both categories of applicants need to reside in Italy for different periods before applying for citizenship.
Obtaining a residence permit is rather simple in Italy, as the authorities here provide various visas for non-EU citizens who can relocate to this country for several reasons. The work permit is one of the most sought when it comes to foreign citizens outside the European Union..
CITIZENSHIP BY DESCENT IN ITALY
For foreign citizens with Italian origins, it is worth trying to obtain citizenship through their ancestors. However, these must know a few aspects before starting the procedure of acquiring Italy passports.
One can obtain an Italian passport by descent if at least one of the following are/were Italian citizens:
the father or the mother;
the paternal grandfather or the maternal grandfather;
the paternal or maternal great-grandfather.
Also, the foreign citizen must understand how the Italian Immigration Law provides for citizenship by descent and make sure he or she falls into the category of persons who can apply for an Italian passport this way.
Citizenship by descent is an option for citizens born in any country of the world, as long as their bloodline has Italian origins. However, the applicant must obtain all certified copies of official documents that attest to their origin.
