Introduction of Italian immigration process

People who want to immigrate to Italy should know that foreigners and Italian citizens can apply for Italian citizenship after marriage. In addition, they can obtain Italian citizenship through a "natural" process, that is, those who have lived in Italy for a minimum period and meet all the requirements can apply for Italian citizenship.

Immigrants who intend to apply for Italian citizenship must meet the following conditions: non-European immigrants have legally lived in Italy for at least ten years; European citizens have lived legally for at least four years; Political asylum or stateless person has lived legally for at least five years; The naturalization period for foreign adults adopted by Italian citizens is at least five years from the date of adoption.

If a foreigner's parents were born in Italy, or his great-grandparents were born in Italy, he can apply for Italian citizenship at the age of 18, but he must legally live in Italy for at least two years. In this case, the applicant must apply before reaching the age of 19.

A foreigner who was born in Italy and has been living in Italy continuously can apply for Italian citizenship at the age of 18, and the application procedures must be submitted before the age of 19.

The legal residence mentioned above means that the applicant must not only hold a valid residence permit all the time, but also have the household registration record of the municipal government. In other words, even if the applicant has been holding a valid residence permit, he can't apply for Italian nationality because the household registration time is too short, so the applicant must meet the requirements of the household registration period.

When foreigners apply for Italian citizenship, the relevant departments will verify the applicant's application conditions, and the applicant must also show proof of residence history, and the household registration cannot be interrupted.
