I am still actively working in my country, but considering applying for an investor visa in Italy as a long-term plan B. Do the recent changes mean I can get a residency permit without living in Italy? How many times do I need to travel there, and how long do I need to stay?
Answers
The investor visa does not require, for its renewal, that the holder spends a minimum amount of time in Italy. You first obtain a 2-year permit and if you keep the investment you can obtain a 3-year extension. You will need to travel to Italy at least 2 times, to file for the permit and to collect the permit when it is issued.
