To purchase an apartment in Italy, you’ll typically need:

• Valid passport
• Codice Fiscale (Italian tax code – we help you get it)
• Proof of funds (bank statement or financing source, if requested)
• Preliminary contract (Compromesso) – signed once a price is agreed
• Final deed of sale (Rogito) – signed in front of a notary (Notaio)

No, buying property in Italy does not grant citizenship or automatic residency.
Unlike some countries, Italy has no investor or golden visa program linked directly to real estate purchases.

However, if you plan to move to Italy, there are other legal paths to long-term residency or citizenship

No residency or visa is required to purchase property. However, if you plan to live in Italy full-time, you’ll need to comply with visa/residency requirements.

Property title registration involves several stages. Firstly, the parties sign the sales agreement at a notary office. The notary then forwards the information to state agencies: tax authority, cadastre chamber office, and registration chamber. The lead time for documents ranges from a few days to three months, depending on the region where the transaction is closed. Only when all of the registration processes are completed does the buyer receive their original documents.

Italy is not same faster process as Us where you can close in 3 weeks.

Usually he will take 5 to 6 months to have your final signature with the Notary office.

Walk away it’s my advice. You can sign the offers in 1 week but same as France, Spain and other all EU Country the final process will take 4 to 6 months.

In most cases, Italian banks do not lend to non-residents.
Most foreign buyers pay in cash or finance the purchase from their home country. We can recommend partners if needed.
