The possibility to buy a property in Italy or another EU country quickly and easily, with tax rebates for your first home in Italy. Retiring and/or living in Italy or an EU country is your right as an Italian citizen, and buying Italian real estate is one of the main advantages of Italian citizenship.

Unrestricted travel throughout Italy and the European Union, including access to fast rail lines and legal protections. You can travel and even work in other EU countries without needing a visa or being subject to limitations on the length of stay. Obtaining an Italian passport and traveling with the freedom of an EU citizen is one of the most important benefits of citizenship.

Additional legal and consular protections. As a dual citizen, you always have two embassies or consultations that can help you if you encounter problems abroad. You are also covered by EU human rights laws and privacy laws, which may offer additional protections that you do not currently enjoy.

No compulsory military service. Although some countries still require you to serve in the armed forces even if you are not resident in the country, Italy has no such requirements. Since 2005, you and your children are not obliged to do military service due to obtaining Italian citizenship.

Access to high-quality education at a very low cost is one of the benefits of Italian dual citizenship that your children can greatly appreciate. The EU offers higher education to all students who are considered capable and deserving citizens. Tuition fees at the best universities can reach a few thousand Euros per year.

Receive affordable, high-quality medical care as well as the social, disability, and economic benefits available to all Italian citizens. When you become an Italian citizen, you can apply for your European Health Insurance Card, which offers easy access to medical care in Italy and other EU countries at a very affordable cost.

Qualify for additional financial benefits. As an Italian citizen, you can take advantage of tax-free importation of any vehicles and personal property you own from the US into Italy. It also allows you to more easily buy Eurobonds, mutual funds, and foreign bonds, and participate in Italian investment funds.

The right to vote in Italian elections and in certain EU elections, or even to run for public office – allowing you to be directly involved in the future of your ancestral country and region.

Gain access to 127 countries without additional work or travel visas for you and your family with your Italian passport. Plus, you’ll have the protection of Italian or EU embassies wherever you travel.

Get citizenship and be entitled to the benefits of Italian citizenship for your descendants and future generations. Once you obtain your dual Italian citizenship, it is preserved and available to your children and their children as well. This excludes the possibility that your descendants will not be able to claim their place in Italy and Europe in the future.
