When it comes to retiring in Italy, one of the biggest questions people have is how that decision can eventually lead to Italian citizenship. For non-EU citizens, getting started usually means applying for a visa like the elective residency visa or in some cases the investor visa, while EU citizens follow a different and simpler path. From there, the length of time you’ll need to live in Italy before applying for citizenship can depend on whether you have Italian ancestry or not, and in some situations citizenship through marriage may even be the faster option.
