Obtaining a residence permit by purchasing houses or apartments in Italy is important for expats. Unlike some other European countries, Italy does not issue residence permits solely based on real estate investment.
While it is possible to buy property in the country and benefit from legal protections as a property owner, making a purchase does not automatically grant residency. However, investors can obtain a multiple-entry visa, allowing them to visit Italy unlimited times, provided they stay in the country for a maximum of three months within any six-month period.
Purchasing real estate in a property development in Italy can be advantageous if you apply for a residence permit based on work, studies, or family reunification. Having a local residence increases your chances of approval. If planning to apply for residency as an investor, note that the property investment amount will not be considered during the document review. Under this program, you can become a resident by donating €1 million or by investing in:
- A stake in an innovative startup with a minimum of €250,000.
- Government bonds for at least two years, with a minimum amount of €2 million.
- Shares in an established local company that has filed at least one financial report, with a minimum investment of €500,000.
In 2024, the Italian government launched a residence program for digital nomads. The Digital Nomad Visa is valid for 12 months and can be renewed. Applicants must be of legal age, have no criminal record, prove they work in IT, and rent or purchase accommodation.
When buying property in a residential complex in Italy, prices from developers are often the most cost-effective option. After five years of living in Italy, you can apply for permanent residency if you spend no more than 183 days outside the country each year. Five years later, you can apply for citizenship, provided you pass an Italian language proficiency exam.

High investment liquidity attracts foreigners to purchase apartments and villas in Italy in both new and completed projects. When finalizing a deal, costs range from 10% to 18%, depending on the type and size of the property and the stage of completion. Key benefits of investing include:
- Consistently high rental demand among tourists. During the summer months of 2024 alone, over 65.8 million foreigners visited Italy. The warm climate, national cuisine, architectural and historical sites, and beautiful landscapes attract travelers. The average rental income is about 7% per year.
