How long can I live in Italy to get permanent residency?

According to Italy's immigration policy, immigrant applicants need to meet the following requirements in order to obtain permanent residence status:

1. Residence requirements: Applicants must have lived in Italy for four years and two months in the five years before applying for permanent residence status, and the single departure time should not exceed six months.

2. Language requirements: Pass the A2 level language test of Italian in the designated institution (equivalent to the primary school level, not particularly difficult).

3. Property certificate: property tax payment certificate.

Fourth, there is no criminal record in Italy.

As long as you meet the above requirements, you can apply for permanent residence status in Italy, but it is best to make corresponding preparations when you first immigrate to Italy, especially the residence requirements, otherwise you will not reach the residence time in advance, and you will only know when you apply, which will waste more time.
