Are you looking to apply for Italian citizenship by descent (or jure sanguinis)? It can be a challenging and time-consuming process, especially as 2024 approaches. With the pandemic and the unprecedented number of applications, many Italian Consulates abroad are dealing with backlogs and applicants are encountering problems even in scheduling an appointment to submit their citizenship applications.
But there’s a potential solution to this problem: move to Italy and apply for your Italian citizenship from within the country. While the average processing time in Italy is roughly similar (although often shorter, approximately 1-2 years), applicants can normally find dates for appointments very quickly and for only a couple of weeks in the future (rather than for years in the future as it sometimes happens abroad). It’s important to remember that the above requires establishing residency in Italy with all the connected immigration and tax implications and requirements.
