Obtaining a residence permit in Italy includes two main groups of issues:

Place where to live (purchase or long-term lease of real estate)
Motive for stay

For financially independent citizens (Residenza Elettiva)

The procedure is provided for by the executive regulation: clause 1 c-quater, art. 11 of the Decree of the President of the Republic of 31.08.1999 No. 394 (Decreto del Presidente della Repubblica 31 agosto 1999, n. 394). Visa opening: clause 13 of Appendix A of the Ministerial Decree of 11.05.2011 No. 850 (Decreto Ministeriale 11 maggio 2011 n. 850 “Definizione delle tipologie dei visti d’ingresso e dei requisiti per il loro ottenimento”).

To obtain a visa, it is necessary to present documentary guarantees of the availability of real estate in Italy, suitable for permanent residence, and significant economic resources, which must be stable, legal and allow for their preservation in the future.

Economic resources should not be income related to employment. The sources of such income can be interest on a bank deposit, rent, ownership of real estate, ownership of an enterprise or others, dividends or other income other than hired work.

Documents confirming the existence of real estate in Italy can be a contract for the purchase or rental (for a long period) of residential property.

obtaining a type D visa at the consulate of Italy (submission of documents is also possible through the Visa Center);
entry into Italy and submission of documents for a residential permit (permesso di soggiorno).
