IMPORTANT TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS:
- Calculate a financial reserve to stay in Italy for at least 6 months of process;
- We recommend a minimum of €300 per month;
- If the process lasts more than 90 days, you will have to pay €150 for the Residence Permit (Permesso di Soggiorno). This Permit is the document that allows you to legally stay in Italy until the conclusion of the process.
- To avoid creating expectations, don't compare other people's processes to your own. Each case is unique.
- It is not possible to measure the duration of each process. Amada Itália has no control over the deadlines, it simply mediates all the client's interests in the process of recognizing Italian Citizenship. We depend on various public bodies, such as Municipalities, Police Headquarters, Brazilian or Argentine Consulates, etc.
