The Residenza Elettiva visa (rentier visa) grants Italian residence permit to financially independent individuals with a minimum passive income of €30,960 per year. Passive income includes dividends, rental income from real estate, and income from brokerage accounts. Proof of address in Italy is also required — either owned property or a rental agreement.

Client stories: reason for trust №1
Yulia, thank you so much to you and your team!! I really thought relocation was not in the cards for me, as I read a lot, studied, and realized that I don't fit in anywhere... I'm not a programmer and I have no special merits 😊 And how great that I accidentally (or maybe not) came across you on Instagram and finally signed up for a consultation. It turned out that not all was lost for me, and even more – everything turned out to be simpler than I thought and feared 😊 Thank you very much! I'm already starting to pack my things and get ready for Spain!
Anna
Good afternoon! I want to thank Yulia for the detailed consultation! Before this, I tried to figure it out myself, but there is no information about many details in the public domain! I had many clarifying questions, and I received comprehensive answers and even additional recommendations! Thank you for your professionalism, I will definitely contact you again.
Elizaveta
I signed up for a consultation with Yulia. We reviewed my case. Yulia detailed which programs are available regarding work, relocation, and study visas. Also, how they can be renewed in the future, etc. We settled on one option and will work on it going forward. I advise you to sign up for a consultation, even if you think only one program suits you, because local specialists in my country do not have such in-depth knowledge of visa types and conditions.

Yuri
Yulia, good afternoon! Just now the courier brought my passport. I received my D visa! 🎁 Everything happened very quickly – I submitted on July 20, on July 22 the documents were in Moscow at the consulate, and on July 29 they had already processed everything and sent them to me. Thank you very much for your help 💕💕💕💕 Now I will contact you when I enter France. I plan to do so in early August.

Officially it is not possible in Italy, and in practice it is difficult. This program is very suitable for those who are ready to enjoy the beauties of Italy without the intention of working in the country.
At the moment, consulates mandatory require proof of income source, so if you only have savings, we recommend considering alternative options.
