Claim Italian citizenship through an unbroken bloodline.
Italian Citizenship by Descent, also known as Jure Sanguinis, allows individuals to claim Italian citizenship through an unbroken bloodline. Eligibility requires an ancestor born in Italy after 1861 who did not naturalize before the birth of their child, establishing a direct lineage. Successful applicants and their descendants gain an EU passport, offering significant benefits for travel and residency within the European Union. The process typically involves consular queues that can vary from 12 to 36 months.
- Eligibility: ancestor born in Italy after 1861 with no naturalisation before the child’s birth.
- Benefits: EU passport for applicant and descendants.
- Timeline: consular queues vary 12 to 36 months.
