Top Benefits of Getting Italian Citizenship by Descent (and Why It's Worth It)

Ciao!

I’ve already shared a bit here on the blog about how difficult it was when I first started searching for information about my Dante Causa to recognize my Italian citizenship by descent — and how I had to put up with a lot of people thinking I was crazy for it. I lost count of how many times I heard: “Why bother with that? It’s useless.”

That’s why I’m sharing the key benefits of becoming an Italian citizen — so you can see exactly why it's a decision that can change your life.

BENEFITS OF ITALIAN CITIZENSHIP BY DESCENT

1. Live legally in Italy or in any country of the European Union With Italian citizenship, you won’t need a visa to live and work legally in any of the European Union countries. This means you can choose your new home from among the 27 countries that currently make up the EU, based on your preferences — like language familiarity, climate, culture, economy, and more! That alone is reason enough to apply for your Italian citizenship, right? We really need to appreciate the privilege we have with this heritage passed down by our ancestors.
   

2. Study at any university in Europe

   Without a doubt, one of the biggest advantages of Italian citizenship is the ability to study at some of the best universities in Europe. Tuition fees are different for Europeans and are incredibly lower compared to studying in the United States. For example, studying in a country like France means paying around €170 per year for undergraduate studies and €243 per year for a master’s degree. Meanwhile, non-European students can be charged fees as high as €3,770 per year! Plus, you’ll be eligible for exclusive scholarships and grants reserved for EU citizens!
   

3. Pass Down Italian Citizenship to Future Generations One of the greatest long-term benefits is that once your Italian citizenship is recognized, your descendants will automatically be eligible too. This gives your children and grandchildren all the advantages of EU citizenship — and it's a powerful legacy to leave behind.
