The easiest way to get Italian Citizenship by Marriage

Italian Citizenship by Marriage allows foreign spouses and registered partners of Italian citizens to apply for nationality through marriage. It is one of the most straightforward ways to secure EU citizenship while uniting families under Italian law. The process can be completed whether you live in Italy or abroad, with different residence requirements depending on location. Once approved, applicants gain full rights as Italian citizens, including an Italian passport and EU mobility.

Why Do I Need Italian Citizenship?

Citizenship by marriage in Italy ensures family unity and provides EU rights, including visa-free travel, healthcare, and education. It also allows spouses to pass Italian nationality on to future children automatically.

Work, Live and Travel anywhere in the EU

This is one of the key benefits of getting Italian Citizenship by Descent. It becomes your gateway to Europe: especially after Brexit. This allows you to work, live, study and travel around the EU with no restrictions.

Italian Tax Benefits

Get favourable tax rates if you are spending more time in Italy, and move your tax residency abroad if you are being overcharged in the UK. This allows you to save on tax expenses.

Free EU Healthcare

Health Insurance will find any reason to not pay you. But when you have European Citizenship, you will always get access to free healthcare in over 20+ states.

5th Strongest Passport in the World

Maybe Italy is not a destination, but rather a stepping stone. Italy has favourable connections with many states like Argentina and Peru for different, expedited visas options.
