A recent change in Italian citizenship law has shortened the residency requirement to two years for those with an Italian parent or grandparent, offering a new path for individuals who no longer qualify for citizenship by descent. This updated process allows applicants to live in Italy on a qualifying visa while building their case for citizenship through residency, provided they can document their direct lineage and meet language requirements. In this episode of the Italian Citizenship Podcast hosted by Italian attorney Marco Permunian and dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, we’ll learn more about how this route works and what’s required to make it a reality.For help with the Italian citizenship process and more information about Italian Citizenship Assistance visit ICA's website:https://ItalianCitizenshipAssistance.comTo contact Italian Attorney Marco Permunian and his team of dual-citizenship experts and attorneys you can use the contact form on the Italian Citizenship Assistance website:https://italiancitizenshipassistance.com/contact/To see more from Rafael Di Furia about life in Italy and life as a dual-citizen expat check out his YouTube channel and website:Http://YouTube.com/RafaelDiFuriaHttp://RafaelDiFuria.com#italiancitizenship #italiandualcitizenship #dualcitizenshipTopics & Timestamps:0:00 – Intro & Opening Thoughts0:59 - The process of applying for Italian citizenship through residency2:25 - What is the first step to start with?8:35 - Do you need to send a notification to the Italian government prior to relocating to Italy?9:55 - Is this process considered a citizenship by descent application if you have Italian ancestry?12:19 - What is the processing time?13:22 - Closing Thoughts & Outro
