There are many reasons U.S. citizens may want to hold dual citizenship with Italy, from re-claiming your birthright to politics. Dual citizenship allows you to create options and freedom for yourself. For example, if you don’t believe things aren’t going so well in the States, you have the ability to relocate and live anywhere in the European Union, which typically provides a greater quality of life and lower cost of living. This makes it an incredible commodity to have to those who are seriously considering dual Italian citizenship as an investment in their future.
Benefits of having an Italian passport
The Italian passport is currently ranked # 1 as the most powerful passport in the world, allowing visa-free travel to 194 countries according the Henley Passport Index for 2024.
Here are a few other benefits you’ll gain from confirming your Italian citizenship:
- You can work, study, and travel throughout the EU without need of a Visa.
- You can purchase property in Italy more easily, without many of the bureaucratic/red tape requirements required of non-Italians.
- You can travel the world with greater safety, as you have the additional protections of the Italian Embassies and Consulates.
- As a citizen of the European Union, you enjoy comprehensive and affordable health care and university education.
- You can give the gift of dual Italian citizenship to your descendants and pass it down.
- You can vote in the Italian Parliament elections.
