What is the Italy Elective Residence Visa?
In recent years, many non-EU nationals from the U.S. and Canada have chosen Italy as the perfect destination for a slower, more meaningful lifestyle. With its culture, climate, gastronomy and quality of life, Italy offers an unmatched experience.
Why is the Elective Residence Visa one of the most attractive options?
This visa is designed for financially independent individuals who can sustain themselves and their families through passive income such as pensions, investments, rental income or dividends.
Successful applicants and their families benefit from:
The right to reside in Italy long-term
Access to healthcare services
Access to education and public services
Protection under the Italian legal system
A base in Europe with Schengen travel freedom
This is why the Italy Elective Residence Visa is so attractive.
