Italy offers an investor visa requiring a minimum investment of €250,000 in shares of an innovative startup, €500,000 in company shares, €1 million in a philanthropic donation, or €2 million in government bonds. This provides a 2+3 year residence permit allowing travel in Schengen, tax incentives, and a path to permanent residency after 5 years and citizenship after 10 years. Applicants must provide documents like a CV, bank statements, criminal records, and apply through the Ministry, which has 30 days to respond before filing a visa application.
