Italian Citizen
FREE review of your eligibility
Email us at info@pastapassports.com and we will do a free review to see if you are eligible to
acquire Italian citizenship by ancestry.
Warm sunshine year-round, healthy & delicious food without toxins and preservatives, and the friendliest people on Earth. Mediterranean coast line, mountains, and rolling hills. It's all here.
Italy is paradise.
Whether you are ready to start looking for a home now, or you just want to lock in your citizenship before the Italian government closes this window for good (more on that below), there is no better time than now to start your Italian citizenship journey.
Property is being bought up by foreigners quickly here, for a new life abroad or even just a vacation home. Homes, especially in southern Italy, are incredibly affordable. Recently we are seeing the momentum pick up as people are discovering Italy's unique value, but there are still gems of areas that are not widely known about.
No matter if you prefer a countryside villa or a flat in the center of town a few steps from the cafe where you can sip €1 espresso each morning, these charming cities and small towns with eye-popping low prices are hard to resist. And when you find out how low annual property taxes are you will be double checking that you're not looking at the monthly amount.
We endured the painstaking process of acquiring Italian citizenship through ancestry years ago, without any assistance. We poured over the legal texts, drove all over Italy to acquire documents, and self-navigated bureaucracy at each turn. There was great frustration and many nights thinking we were at a dead end. In the end, we succeeded (barely). Someday we will share more of our story with you, because you will smile knowing your experience will be a delight by comparison.
We will make it easy for you. You can skip the part where you open your deep red colored passport and see under your name - Nationality: Italiana.

The Italian government is making it harder.
Let us review your case for Free.
In October 2024, the Italian Ministry of Interior updated their guidelines with a major change that made many people ineligible for citizenship by descent.
It is still possible to achieve, but matters are more complicated.
Let us review your eligibility starting with a free consultation.
We recommend getting started now before any further changes are implemented that could rule out your case completely.
EU Dual Citizenship can be expensive.
But Italy is not!
The normal path for an extra citizenship in Europe is costly. It often requires a major donation or investment, several years to completion, and can be limited to Residency (no passport).
Italian citizenship by descent is both faster and less expensive. There is no time required to live in the country. The only time needed is for the application process.
This usually takes about 1 year, but can be faster depending on the complexity of your case.
Sometimes, the fastest option is to apply in Italy and live there for 3 - 6 months during your application review.
