Italian Citizenship
The
waiting
time to
get Italian citizenship is
rather long.
In
addition to the period required to meet
the legal conditions,
foreign citizens are expected to wait for further 2 / 3 years before having their application to become Italian
citizens
accepted (4 years with Salvini Law).
However,
the facts amply demonstrate that two years are not enough and
deadlines are hardly ever respected. Foreign citizens may have to
wait up to
five or six years
before receiving a “yes”.
The
reason for these long bureaucratic waits is the rising
demand
from foreigners to get Italian
citizenship.
On the other hand, there is an inadequate number of people in charge
of processing the requests, implemented for this reason a few months
ago.
Although
new laws were made to speed up the process, the waiting time is
still extremely long. So here are two tips to help
you reduce it
or, at least, not exceed the limit of 2 - 3 years required by law.
How
to speed up the waiting time
Is
there a way to speed up the waiting time for foreign
citizens who want to get Italian citizenship?
First
and foremost, make sure you have
not made any mistakes
in filling in the application to submit to the competent department.
We recommend seeking help
from a
legal specialist.
Specialized
assistance in this case can mean a lot as it can reduce the risk of
further
revisions
to complete documents or information, which would unavoidably extend
the time for your application to be accepted.
The
second thing to do is to solicit
the competent department as soon as the 730 days required by law to
get Italian
citizenship
expire, so that your application can proceed without undergoing an
unnecessary period of immobility.
