- Rich cultural heritage, with access to world-renowned art, architecture, music, and food traditions
- A relaxed, family-oriented lifestyle that values connection, community, and daily rituals like shared meals and local events
- Healthcare system that is both reliable and affordable for families
- Safe and secure environment, particularly in smaller towns and suburban areas
- Supportive social atmosphere, where neighbors look out for one another and families feel welcomed
- Easy, visa-free travel across European Schengen countries, making weekend trips and school holidays across Europe simple to plan
- And of course all the pizza and pasta you can eat!
What is the Italian Golden Visa
Simply put, Italy’s Golden Visa, officially known as the Italy Residence by Investment Program, offers a clear and practical pathway for non-EU citizens seeking European residency. When your family makes a qualifying investment in Italy, you receive residency permits that come with several key benefits.
Italian Golden Visa Key Benefits
Right to Live, Work, and Study - your family has immediate access to life in Italy, including public healthcare and education for your children. You can choose to work or start a business locally, but it’s not required. Many families hold residency while running remote businesses or maintaining careers abroad.
Freedom to Travel Across Europe - Italian residency allows you to travel easily within the Schengen Zone, without extra visa requirements. This makes family trips around Europe simple and trouble-free.
No Minimum Stay Requirement - Italy does not require you to stay a set number of days each year to keep your residency. Meaning you can freely split your time between Italy and other countries, maintaining your residency status without disruption. You only become a tax resident if you spend 183 days or more in Italy.
Quick Processing Time - The process of obtaining an Italian investor visa usually takes about three to four months from start to finish. After approval, you receive an initial two-year residency permit, which can then be renewed.
Renewal and Long-Term Stability - Your initial investor residency lasts two years and can be renewed for another three years, provided your investment stays in place. After five continuous years of living primarily in Italy, you become eligible to apply for permanent residency.
Pathway to Italian Citizenship - You can eventually apply for Italian citizenship after ten years of residency. Holding Italian citizenship provides a passport that grants full rights to live and work anywhere in the European Union. Italy allows dual citizenship, meaning you do not have to give up your existing nationality.
How the Boundless Life Investment Model Works
Curious about obtaining an Italian Golden Visa with Boundless Life? Our real estate investment model is specifically structured to meet Italy’s visa requirements while at the same time offering an attractive real estate investment opportunity.
Two Investment Pathways
There are two ways to engage with Boundless Life’s real estate offering, depending on your visa needs and financial goals:
Investment Options
- Invest in Our Italian Entity (Golden Visa Eligible) - By investing a minimum of €500,000 in shares of Boundless Life’s Italian real estate company, you qualify directly for the Golden Visa. Your investment supports our expanding portfolio of family-focused properties in Italy, while giving you residency and participation in the growth of Boundless Life.
- Individual Asset Option (Not Golden Visa Eligible) - If you're obtaining a Golden Visa separately or don’t need one, you can purchase your own property in Italy. Boundless Life may then manage your property within our portfolio, allowing you to generate rental income when you're not using it, without the hassle of day-to-day management.
Family-Friendly and Investment Savvy
Whether you invest in shares or choose an individual asset, your capital directly supports Boundless Life’s vision of creating family-friendly communities in appealing, convenient locations. Investors participating at the €500,000 level may receive dedicated apartment usage rights during their stays, with year-round management by our team for convenience and peace of mind.
Investing with Confidence in Boundless Life
With consistent growth, high occupancy, and rebooking rates that double the industry average, Boundless Life stands out as a solid partner for family-focused real estate investment.
Step-by-Step Investment Process
Choosing an Investment Level - Investment starts from €250,000, giving you access to Boundless Life’s European property fund. To qualify for the Italian Golden Visa, a minimum investment of €500,000 in shares is required.
Legal Structuring and Visa Application - Once your investment amount is confirmed, Boundless Life structures it through our registered Italian company. A third-party immigration advisor, such as PwC, prepares the visa application and supporting documents, outlining the investment plan in line with Golden Visa requirements.
Approval and Finalizing Your Investment - The Investor Visa Committee typically issues a decision within three to four months. Upon approval, you have around three months to complete your investment by transferring funds into the designated Italian business. Boundless Life will coordinate with all parties to ensure the process is completed smoothly.
Receiving Your Residency Permit - After the investment is finalized, your family receives a two-year Italian residency permit. During your first visit, you’ll complete necessary steps such as biometric registration and confirming your Italian address and obtaining your Italian tax ID (codice fiscale), and registering locally.
Enjoying Life in Italy - With residency granted, your family can live, study, and travel freely throughout Italy and the Schengen Zone. Our team manages your share-backed participation and supports your renewal process after the initial two-year period.
Please note: Legal, administrative, and processing fees are not included in the investment minimum and will vary depending on your specific situation.
