This is the right time for investing in Italy! Visa advantages • Government bonds.
The 2017 Budget Law introduces in the Immigra-
tion Law a new “entry visa for investors” which
will entitle foreign investors an advantageous
treatment, only provided that they will carry out a
durable investment in Italy or a large donation in-
volving benefits for Italian culture and research. The new entry visa (Article 26-bis Consolidated Law
on Immigration) offers many advantages:
• The holder shall receive an entry visa and a resi-
dence permit valid for two years. Once expired,
the permit is renewable for the next three
years. After five years the foreigner resident
can apply for a long-term residence permit.
• The possibility to stay in Italy or run your business
from your country without waiting for further
permits or visas. Is it also possible to enter other
EU countries (Schengen Area) and stay up to 90
days every six months.
• The family members of investors visa/permit
holders can also apply for a residence permit for
family reasons.
• If interested in moving the fiscal residence to
Italy, the investor could get a forfeit tax on the
income earned abroad. The law envisages three investment opportu-
nities:
• An investment of at least one million euros in the
capital of an Italian company, at least five hun-
dred thousand euros in an innovative start up,
• A donation of at least one million euros in projects
and initiatives in the fields of culture, education,
immigration management, research, restoration
of cultural heritage and landscape. Projects and
initiatives must have a public interest,
• An investment of at least two million euros in Ita-
lian Government bonds.
Golden donors and entrepreneurs seeking to
conduct their business activity in Italy will be allo-
wed to enter and stay in Italy, initially for two years
with the possibility of a three more years extension.
The visa is also extendable to family members.
Moreover, if you move your fiscal residence
to Italy you’ll also have a very favorable tax break
applied only on the income earned abroad. This
treatment is valid for a fifteen years long period.
