REQUIREMENTS

Understanding Italian Residency Requirements

Why you don't need to relocate permanently to Italy
Important Legal Distinction
Under Italian Law No. 91 & 92, establishing residency is about meeting specific legal requirements, not about continuous physical presence in Italy.
What is Required
• Obtain Codice Fiscale (Italian Tax Code)
• Sign a valid lease agreement
• Complete police verification
• Register with local commune
What is not Required
• Continuous physical presence in Italy
• Permanent relocation to Italy
• Extended stays beyond verification
• Regular visits to maintain status
How It Works
Initial Setup
Complete the required administrative steps to establish legal residency (Codice Fiscale, lease, etc.)
Verification
Complete the mandatory police verification of your registered address
Return Home
Once requirements are met and verified, you can return to your home country while your application processes
This process is established under Italian Law No. 91 & 92, which focuses on legal requirements rather than physical presence for citizenship applications.
