Italy Residency by investment
An investor visa and a €200,000 flat‑tax regime for new residents.
Italy’s investor visa starts at €250,000 in an innovative start‑up and pairs with the country’s flat‑tax regime — a fixed €200,000 a year on all foreign income for those who become tax resident. The visa is issued quickly and does not itself require a minimum stay.
- €200,000 flat tax on foreign income
- Two‑year visa, renewable for three
- Schengen travel
- Permanent residence after five years
