Italian Citizenship By Descent (Jure Sanguinis)

If you have Italian ancestors, you may qualify to become a citizen of Italy through Jure Sanguinis (by descent). This applies if you can trace your Italian heritage to parents, grandparents, or even great-grandparents who were Italian citizens at the time of your parent’s birth and did not renounce their citizenship.

Italian Citizenship By Marriage (Jure Matrimonii)

You may also apply through Jure Matrimonii (by marriage) if you are married to an Italian citizen. There are specific requirements based on how long you’ve been married and your spouse’s citizenship status.

Italian Citizenship Through Naturalization (Italian Immigration)

Another option is naturalization, where you apply after legally living in Italy for a certain period. This requires you to reside, work, or study in Italy before applying for citizenship.
