The country’s visa and immigration policies are tailored to the applicant’s nationality, purpose of stay, and the intended duration of residence. At CFR Legal, we provide expert guidance throughout the immigration process.
Visa and Permit Applications
Italy offers a variety of visa categories, including student visas, work permits, family reunification visas, and residence permits (for further details regarding this one, please read our article at the following link “elective residency visa”). Our experienced lawyers assist in determining the most appropriate visa type based on your unique circumstances, ensuring full compliance with all requirements.
Work Permits and Business Visas
Non-EU nationals seeking employment in Italy must secure a work permit before starting work. We guide both employers and employees through Italy’s quota system (Decreto Flussi) and the approval process, ensuring smooth navigation of the regulatory landscape.
Family Reunification
If you are a legal resident of Italy and wish to reunite with your family members, our immigration lawyers can guide you through the family reunification process. We ensure full compliance with residency, income, and housing requirements, streamlining the application to ensure a smooth and efficient experience in bringing your loved ones to Italy.
Residence Permits
Upon arrival in Italy, foreign nationals must apply for a residence permit (Permesso di Soggiorno). Our legal experts will assist with the application process, ensuring timely renewals and helping you maintain continuous legal status throughout your stay.
Citizenship by Descent (Ius Sanguinis)
The concept of ius sanguinis in Italian law refers to the principle of nationality or citizenship being determined by descent rather than by the place of birth.
Individuals who have Italian ancestry may be eligible for Italian citizenship through ius sanguinis. This allows descendants of Italian nationals, even if born abroad, to claim Italian citizenship.
