The Italian Golden Visa program was introduced in 2017 allowing individuals to legally seek a residence through financial contribution, be it through an investment in Italian shares, government bonds or a public interest donation. The applicant for residency may include his immediate family (spouse, children under the age of eighteen, children of disabilities of any age, and parents). Initially, the residency visa is granted for two years and is renewable for a further three years, under the condition that the chosen investment is still in place. After the fifth year, permanent residency is possible given that the applicant has relocated to Italy. An applicant and his family are eligible to apply for Italian citizenship after a residency period of ten years.
