The firm I worked with to get my Italian dual-citizenship here in Italy, which I had a fantastic experience with, was The Italian Passport - www.theitalianpassport.com/en...

**Note: You should take into account that the approximate amount of money I spent to work with them is a fluid price; meaning that with the increased demand for this, they very well may have raised their prices since I worked with them.
***Additional note: The policy of The Italian Passport is to only work with clients willing to move to Puglia to pursue citizenship, due to their relationship with certain governmental officials in the region.

Hi, love your channel, I too have my citizenship, question for you I want to move to Italy now and through my local consulate in Miami got my Coddice Fiscale already have AIRE what other steps do I need to do to establish my residency and get my healthcare ID?
Few people know that possessing an Italian passport means visa free travel to 97 countries,its the second most powerful passport, higher than the UK or the Us passports.
That’s one of the reasons I wanted it!
and what's the first one?
@@BertolliRobusto it should be the Japanese one
@@enricocazzulo1083 the most powerful passports are put togheter in groups,in the 1st group there's japan germany which have 1 more visa free country at 98 in the 2nd group there's Italy belgium sweden,these numbers however are with this years pandemic in place,otherwise Italy has 188 visa free travel destinations,japan 191 and germany 189.
Wow! I didn't know that.
La commozione che traspare dal tuo viso nel primo minuto di video la dice tutta... 😍
Sono molto felice!!!
Infatti, mi è venuto un magone.. E tanta commozione!
YOu do have an infectious energy! I adore Italy too and am learning Italian.
Grazie!
The Italian spirit clearly as she has the Italian passport. LOve it!
What you did is beautiful.
As Italian living abroad I'm happy to see how you have fell in love with Italy to the point of making all the researces and paperwork to get the citizenship.
Cheers from an Italian that has spent already more than half of his life in Asia 😉.
Grazie!
Grazie. My grandma was born in Calabria and I am in the process of getting my citizenship recognized so I can get a passport and move there.
I lived in Japan for 2 years but the issues concerning Japanese women are very sad. Many men engage in abuse and I was shocked to say the least. Either way, now I reside in Trento, as a German EU national, and much prefer Italy.
@@racht.bremen3125 happy to know, ejnoy :)
e che c'azzecca
Italy has the second most powerful passport in the world. Congrats!
@@qwertylello No, some lists put Italy as number 2 passport strength.
No, I don't think that's true
It's tied for fifth in 2021. No.1 Japan 193 countries, No.2 Singapore 192 countries, tied for No.3 Germany and South Korea 191, and tied for No. 5 with Finland, Luxemburg and Spain at 190 countries.
@@sb2933 what does it matter ? - - few people can afford to travel to 200 or so countries and probably don't even entertain that idea
@@Billoybong2 hai ragione infatti il passaporto italiano e una merda appena la gente sa che sei un italiano non la vede bene come cosa
I really appreciate you learning the language and liking Italy despite all our shortcomings. Benvenuta! Ci vorrebbero più Italiani come te!
Tutti i paesi hanno i loro guai! Sono contenta di essere qua :)
@@TheQKatie Bravissima, come si dice da noi "Parole sante!" :-) Congratulazioni connazionale!!!!
According to Italy, she always was Italian, she just had to claim it.
What shortcomings?
Absolutely love this video!! Congrats on the dual passports!
Congrats and good job Katie! The combined power of an Italian + American passport is fantastic! Also, I just wanted to say that it is still totally possible to do the entire Jure Sanguinis process by yourself, from outside Italy. Sure it probably isn't easier than working with an agency, but with a lot of patience and determination (and some luck) it can be done. 👍
My great grandfather’s are aswell from Italy by my mom family tree. I wish to move to Italy as soon as I’m able financially. And I’ll do my best to find those birth certificates with my mothers family. So I can get the dual citizenship.
Greetings from Mexico!!! Congratulations 🎊🍾🎉🎈
Ciao to Mexico!
Ciao Mexico I am AUS citizen I am applying for my dual US Italian citizenship and getting Mexican residency
I'm Italian and it sounds complex even to me. Well done!
It's not only complex, but the process takes years. I've been waiting 2 years already to get my passport.
You finally did it! Congratulazioni e benvenuta in Italia. I hope you'll enjoy you're stay and best luck 😁
Such a honor being present in this video! Thanks for the filter, I look smiley and fresh..not very "tax/numbers man" right!? You rock Katie!!
You were awesome! 👏
Your amazing personality and contagious positivity are the reasons why I (an Italian living in Italy) am watching a video on how to get citizenship in my own country and enjoying every single second of it.
Congratulations and keep it quirky!
hahaha grazie! E grazie per aver guardato!
Grazie. My grandma was born in Calabria and I am in the process of getting my citizenship recognized so I can get a passport and move there.
I took my whole parental heritage nome! Io avrò a continua di guardare il tuo video!
I am currently in the process of getting my Italian Citizenship and passport. Found this video to be super awesome and informative. Thank you for the video!
Congrats!! My grandparents came to Argentina after WW2 and I ended up going through the same process, as well.
It's amazing to connect with our roots. Even when you've grown up in a huge family, plenty of classic pasta and fully southern Italian traditions, speaking the language.
I'm pretty sure that a great amount of people around the world might be qualified to apply to Italian citizenship by blood because of WW2.
...Really proud that You are a little more nearby us! And I'm really honored that You really appreciate our "Little" Country , their citizens and our lifestyle!!! Thank You Katie!!!
grazie a te!
Italy has the 8th biggest economy in the world and is a G7 country. I think it is quite a big industrial country that manufactures and gives a lot to the world, so not a "little" country in any way,
This was a great video! I'm an American about to go through this process as well, but I'll be doing it through marriage. Just need to pass the B1 language exam and I'm ready to apply. It seems like such a daunting process, but as you guys said, it's a part of the adventure! We'll be moving to Sicily next month & I can't wait😊Love your positivity & outlook on life, so happy it all worked out for you, congrats! 😊
How exciting! in bocca al lupo!
@qkatie grazie! 😊
Oh my gosh going through this process was so wild. I DIY'd mine and I swear it worked on a wing and a prayer. My family decided to get super complicated and international with all their major life events. The number of times I mailed cash in an envelope to a tiny European town... Worth it! So happy for you :) My family is from the south as well!
Thank you, Katie and Connor. I'm part of this adventure too right now.
in bocca al lupo!
Congrats Katie!!!! 🇮🇹✈️
woooo! Grazie mille!
I went through this process a couple of years back. My parents are both first generation Italian, and it was just as complicated a process for me to go through. Had to deal with three different "commune" as well as the UK consulate. And did it all on my own! Took me a whole year. So happy I did it though.
Congrats! What an adventure, right? It's nice to have that behind me.
Hi Katie. Congratulations! Funny thing, the husband of my eye doctor forwarded your video to me. ; ) My sons and I expect to be joining you right around Christmas. My younger son submitted his paperwork by mail last week. Ora aspettiamo. Auguri! Ciao, ciao.
In bocca al lupo!!!
Such a cool adventure!! Things have a way of always working out!! 🇮🇹 Great job Patrick! Sorry about your citizenship!
Congrats!! I'm very happy to be an italian citizen. Love Italy🇮🇹❤
It's a great pleasure to see how a foreigner appreciates Italy much more than some Italians: all this reminds us how wonderful this nation is from south to north. Welcome to Italy
I'm seriously considering putting in the effort to do this too! I've visited Italy many times. And I truly love it. My grandparents immigrated from Bari (which appears from your videos to be in the region where you now live) And when my father was born (in the US) my Grandparents were still Italian citizens (They had not yet received US Citizenship) Which technically (I've read) made my father a dual-citizen. I have the required history, I just need the documents! Congratulazioni!!!!!
Congratulazioni Katie!! Felice per te!!
grazie!
My husband and daughter just managed to get the Italian citizenship/passport after so much paperwork and waiting. It can get really complicated but thankfully we did it.
I know this comes late and apologies if anyone already mentioned this in the comments below, but for the sake of information, there is one important thing that has not been mentioned in the video: by acquiring the Italian citizenship one also acquires the European Union citizenship. That gives the right to move, be a resident and work in any of EU countries.
Thank you so much for this! So informative and my great grandmother is also from Italy!! (Sicily) looking forward to our move ☺️
In bocca al lupo!
@@TheQKatie it's me Faisal from Bangladesh I'm physically disable student I need to talk to you . I want to explore the world and I want to share my life with u I hope you'll response me I'm waiting for ur response
Hi Katie - I JUST stumbled on this video and immediately subscribed to your channel! Your videos are fun, interesting and and full of great info! I've been thinking about getting my dual citizenship - now I'm REALLY inspired! Keep up the great work!
Aww thank you!
Oh my gosh!!!! Congrats!!! You give me hope I'll get mine soon!

Is Connor getting his passport through marriage/how is he able to stay?
@@ereed311 He will need 2 years and half to be able to get the marriage since this is the period that foreign spouse can get the italian citizenship. After all, he is a foreign spouse of an italian woman.
I'm italian and I have a foreign wife: she had to wait that period because the law was changed in the year we got merried. Before he had to wait just 6 months. And he will have to get a lot of documents as katie did, quite similar to the ones Katie prepared.
Ora che sei ufficialmente anche Italiana, è il caso di dire Benvenuta tra noi !! E per quanto mi riguarda, sono anche orgoglioso che avendo scelto la mia Puglia (Trani è bellissima), tu sia anche un po Pugliese !!🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Sono orgogliosa* di vivere in puglia!
@@TheQKatie orgogliosa
@@Benacus_Lacus haha grazie!
@@TheQKatie you're welcome. It was just a correction,no malice intended. Bye
Puglia is my favorite! I used to work for an Italian wine importer and have been to Italy numerous times. I fell in love with Puglia in particular. So many beautiful little towns! The seafood is so good! I make focaccia Barese all the time in my pizza oven.
Schengen zone, baby! Congrats! I haven't been to Italy yet, but I fell in love with Spain.
I tell you , the Schengen area / Eurozone is almost like being in a single big country.
I sent in my paperwork into the consulate in late February. Now, I wait!
🤞 🤞 🤞
Italian Passport is indeed very powerful, ranking 2nd or 3rd worldwide. Congratulazioni e viva l’Italia! 🇮🇹
Questo video è davvero fantastico. Adoro il processo e come spieghi dettagliatamente le procedure per ricevere la cittadinanza italiana. Non sapevo che ci fossero così tante clausole che possono impedire una persona di ricevere il documento ( non capisco le date a cosa facciano riferimento: 1948 e 1992 ). Tu e Connor siete una squadra meravigliosa!
I fell in love with your energy. And I'm getting to know the south of Italy!
Congrats, Katie! I'm an Italian-Brazilian, and I'm lucky because my family already had got the Italian citizenship when I was a child (and so had I). But all this quest for the Italian citizenship is a common subject among Italian-Brazilians and Italian-Argentinians. That's not a surprise that the Italian consulates in Sao Paulo and southern Brazil are overcrowded by citizenship requests. Being an Italian citizen is a fundamental fact of my life. I have lived in three Italian cities (Treviso, Bologna, and Turin), and it also made it possible for me to live in London and now in Berlin. My life would be definitely different without it. But its main impact is that I have eventually brought Italian elements to my life. My father was an Italian teacher in Brazil, and it was a second language in my family. But my children had their first years in Italy, and they are now native Italian speakers, and our social life is a huge part in Italian, although we do not live in Italy anymore. I hope you and your husband can enjoy it the most.
I just got my Italian citizenship in Mendoza, Argentina. I was the first one of my family to apply for it and it took just 4 DAYS to get it!!
Che bella storia!
@@claudiovener5113 you're Italian on what side??
Saludos irmão🇦🇷😙

Congratulations! 🎊🎉🍾
So happy for you ❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations 😻 I've been in Italy for two weeks. I want to live there longer.
Ah, welcome!!! :)
"I want to live there "
You might want to reconsider that, bureaucracy is crazy, taxes are high (especially if you're self employed) and services vary a lot in quality.
If you think you're ok with that, welcome!
@@den2k885 thanks your comment. I heard about bureaucracy. I mean to live longer, to live just 3-6 months.
Congrats on the italian citizenship! Thanks for moving to the south, nowadays it looks like everybody just wants to leave it. Wish you guys good luck!
I also moved to the south,! Near Naples !
@@deannaolivieri1791 hope you're having a good time!
Yes, as good as I possibly can with all the Covid restrictions ;)
My grandma was born in Calabria and I am working on getting my Italian citizenship recognized and plan to retire in southern Italy.
Lovely ! My grandparents on my dads side are from Bari and my moms father was born in potenza, Basilicata by my maternal grandma’s parents were from campania so that’s where I chose to go to. I’m in Benevento
Benvenuta !!! Complimenti per i tuoi video, molto belli.
Hi Katie and Connor, Thank you for sharing! I just had to watch, somehow your video popped up in my feed! I, also, was able to acquire my Italian citizenship; it took me 5 years to gather all the papers of birth, marriage, death, of each of my grandparents; and of my parents, and also those of my own. My mom, first, had to claim her citizenship, she was born before my grandfather became naturalized, she was the only living descendent at the time and I was born in February 1948. so that I must have just slipped through that disqualifying January 1948 window!
I had already been living in France for several years, and visited my family every year, so all of the paperwork and Apostilles my mother helped me attain; when I wasn't present, through the Consulate in Philadelphia, and California too, where I had previously lived! I had to search my Grandfather's photo in a certain building in Philadelphia on microfiche, for at that time Internet wasn't available to the general public, and then no one told us where to find this building and it wasn't until I invited my boyfriend to visit that we went to Ellis Island in '95; one of the guards we spoke with gave us the address! What an ordeal! I am now a citizen of Naples, I still live in the South of France, as I had a job here, I am learning Italian and hope to visit this coming Fall, I've been there many times as I was an airline hostess before retiring, I can't wait to come there once again, I love Italy! I hope to meet you sometime in the future, hopefully! I will join your Quirky group!
Best Wishes to you both!
Ciao, Linda! What a wonderful story. I'm glad it has a happy ending! Would love to have you in the Quirky Club. Thanks for watching! patreon.com/qkatie
Benvenuta da cittadina Italiana - anche se non siamo proprio un paese perfetto, abbiamo tanta umanità da offrire, sopra tutto a gente intraprendente, simpatica e positiva come te.

@@dustinbosse233 yikes, I’m sorry man.. I live in California but I’m doing mine at the consulate in Rovigo, Italy it is much quicker and you can establish residency in just 8 weeks.
@@QueenChroniclesOfficial your Italian?
@@ynadejesus8172 I’m assuming you’re asking because I don’t look “white” but yes I’m half Italian half African American. I’m sure you know that I wouldn’t be able to apply for citizenship via jure sanguinis if I wasn’t of Italian descent.
That's amazing. I'm so happy for you
congratulations! so happy for you :)

Congratulations! What a privilege to be a citizen of two great countries

Congratulations Katie, just wondering how long it took for all of the documents to be gathered and translated and all that stuff?
Congratulazioni vivissime 👏👏
Take good information about how you can use your two own passports.
I believe you could have serious problems traveling with two different passports on the same person.
I was a 1948 case. Going through the Italian court system is long (1-2 years) and expensive (almost $6k but it was worth it, to me). After getting the documents together (it took about 3 years for me), it was a year wait to wend through the courts. After that, there are a few other things to do to get the passport, all of which are long-ish wait times: registering one's birth at the commune of one's ancestor (10 months wait), registering as an Italian citizen living abroad since I don't live in Italy yet (a month wait) and then finally applying for the passport (i'm still on the previous step so I don't know how long that will take). Congrats on getting yours!
Ius sanguinis! Arrived in Sicily at the age of 14 and at the age of 18 I received my draft card (Italian military) so that’s how I got it!
The Italian Consulate in your area can help you with all the documents and no translation is needed. The Miami Consulate helped me. It's a lot of documents and dates matter, gender matters, but the steps are all on the Italian Embassy website. It looks a lot more fun to do it in Italy though. Congratulations Katie!!
You're right, Italy is A LOT of fun. Thanks for the info and thanks for watching!
Who did you contact to get help with documents- I’m working on getting my documents but not sure how to get them from Italy. I know the town my grandparents were born. Thanks 🙏🏻 for any help you can give. I live in Palm Beach cty so would go through Miami consulate
Hi @Elle Law , generally you can email the Comune directly. If you search for the name of the Comune on Google you should be able to find their website, from there you want to get in touch with the Ufficio Anagrafe or the Segreteria of the Comune. Ask for a copy of the Estratto per Riassunto dell'atto Nascita for your ancestor. You probably need to send the email in Italian. It might take a couple of months but they often send you a copy in the mail (free of charge in my experience).
My family went through Silvia and team and we live in Bari! CONGRATS!!! It’s an amazing feeling, right???!!!
Are THE Julie I’ve heard so much about!? Congrats to you and your fam. And yes, they are just the best. It’s such a relief to have this settled. Now, it’s Connors turn to go through it...
Thank you for making this video!!!
Of course. Thanks for watching!
Guardo i tuoi video per il mio inglese , ma la tua energia è contagiosa. Mi piace anche vedervi assieme perché siete una bella coppia. Grazie per questa bella immagine dell'Italia che dai al mondo , burocrazia e tasse a parte 😱
awww grazie!
We want Conor be Italian too!! He has the right level of patience ahahahah!
He's next hopefully 🤞🤞🤞
@@TheQKatie As far as I know you need to have been married three years, if you live outside of Italy, in order to apply. Otherwise, if you live on the national territory, you can apply six months after the marriage (that's what I had in mind - please check).
Congratulazioni! 👍
Grazie!
Well you're lucky to own Italian passport. I can imagine the bereacracy you went through. It's not easy to deal with Italiano. Tricky but nice people.
Grazie per aver condiviso questa informazione.👏🙏
I've been considering an Italian passport. My mother was born in Italy and my father, was born of Italian immigrants not yet citizens of the US, both sides of the family are from the same town in Sicily. This may or may not qualify.
What's more important is that I've spent so much time in Sicily and have a close relationship with my relatives and have many close friends there. Mi manca la Sicilia e tutta Italia!
Having a parent who was born in Italy (and you said they weren’t naturalized US citizens at the point of your birth), I believe you have been a citizen since birth (and you just didn’t know it). It should be fairly easy. It’s very complicated in this video because she was trying through great grandparents.
@@susie2251 Actually, not that simple. You don't get Italian citizenship simply by being born in Italy. You normally get it by your parents (we have some exceptions, of course) but that has to be proved...
@@GiacomoAzzali yes I should have said “having a parent who is an Italian citizen” to be more precise. But the point is for this poster, having a parent who is Italian and was still Italian at their birth is a lot simpler than trying to claim through grandparents.
There are a lot of other complications that come into play too, like the year everyone was born because the laws changed at various times and what’s true today may not have always been true (like women weren’t able to pass down citizenship to their children in the past, only men).
Non so se sia la stessa cosa, ma il nostro caso è analogo, sebbene si parli di cittadinanza francese. Mio marito è francese, viviamo in italia, i nostri figli sono nati qui e hanno tutti i documenti italiani, sono di nazionalità italiana. Ovviamente sono Francesi, avendo il padre francese, ma non possono avere la nazionalità francese e i documenti francesi finché i genitori non ne fanno richiesta. Si ha tempo fino alla maggiore età per farlo, dopodiché diventa diverso il processo.
Noi abbiamo completato da poco questa richiesta, e ora entrambi hanno la carta d'identità francese e sono registrati anche all'anagrafe francese.
Forse anche per voi è una cosa simile: siete nati italiani, ma avere la nazionalità ed essere italiani sono due cose diverse!
You did it!!!
Hey guys I really needed to see and hear this... I took the decision to buy a property in Tuscany then thought hey why not move there....My mother was Italian (Born near Naples) in 1933 and moved to the UK in 1959...ive just located the original birth certs and other legal original documents from here home town...so now I'm feeling pretty confident in realising my dream
Congratulations on your passport! FYI, there is an agreement between Italy and the US to avoid double taxation for the first two years since settling in the other country, you may want to have a look at that! Also, I strongly suggest you (and Connor) to get a SPID, the digital identity. It is offered by many providers, among which post offices, and it allows you to access all your official information, from medical records to credit history. And, most importantly, you can log into the "agenzia delle entrate" website and file your taxes online, no matter where you are when you need to do it.
Already got my SPID! Good call on the taxes tho. Will definitely look into that!
G'day Katie from an Italian living in Australia. Well I'm a 100% Italian, born in Mestre/Veneto in 1964, my parents emigrated to Australia in 1970. Parents decided we'd all become Australia citizens in 1986 (I was 22) and so we did. Had I known the disqualification rules back then as you've just explained I think I would have settled for dual citizenship. I'm 56 now and been back to Italy twice, the last was in 2019. I guess the irony here is my adult children, who are born in Australia, will have a greater chance of becoming Italian citizens, than I would now. Such is life I guess! Love your channel.
Aww shucks. It's a tricky thing. A good reminder how lucky I am. Thanks for watching!
Scusa ma credo proprio che essendo nato in Italia da cittadini italiani tu sia assolutamente dotato di cittadinanza italiana! Prova a verificare magari con una mail al comune in cui sei nato, ma ne sono abbastanza certo
@@francisbegbie5102 Se ha rinunciato alla cittadinanza italiana per diventare australiano non c'è niente da fare, infatti dice esplicitamente che se avesse conosciuto le regole di squalifica dal riconoscimento della cittadinanza italiana avrebbe scelto la doppia cittadinanza, cosa che a quanto pare non ha fatto, diventando di conseguenza esclusivamente cittadino australiano.
@@francisbegbie5102 Vado da quello che Katie ha letto alle 3:37 nel video. Mi piacerebbe scoprire qual è il significato del 15 agosto 1992. All'epoca avevo 22 anni e seguivo i desideri dei miei genitori, ciecamente, immagino. Katie, cosa stavi leggendo a quel punto del video?
@@frankbellio7321 mi dispiace veramente. Forse il problema che eri maggiorenne. Prova a chiedere, non si sa mai
Immagino che i privilegi di diventare anche cittadina europea abbiano giocato un bel ruolo nella scelta di prende la cittadinanza italiana
Sì, è vero!
C'è da dire che il nostro passaporto apre le porte, senza Visa di ben 173 paesi al mondo. È il quarto al mondo (forse quinto) ad avere questo onore, tutti gli altri stanno dietro!
Complimenti! All the best
Katie una di noi, una di noooooooi 🇮🇹
Complimenti ❤️
ahaha grazie!
Though I like your video and congratulate for getting the Italian passport I can’t help but mention that jus sanguinis let people who have an ancestor born in Italy before 1861, raised in a family whose members haven’t spoken a word of Italian for one hundred years get the Italian passport while there are hundred of thousands of youngsters born in Italy from immigrants that attended Italian schools and universities, speak perfect Italian, know italian history, work and pay taxes in Italy and feel Italian who can’t get the Italian cityzenship.
Respected from Moscow Russia 🇷🇺
Dual citizenship 👍
I just got all the docs and will start the translations and trying to get appointment at the Italian consulate in DC. NY consulate is not taking appointments right now. It's taken a year and 10 months to get grandfather's docs, I have my mom's and dad's who are both 1st gen US citizens. All birth, death and marriage certs too. Crikey it did take a while and cost some Euros but it is well worth the price of admission. Can't wait.
Congratulations 🎉 We are working on ours now in northern Italia
Insieme al Passaporto per viaggiare e far vedere agli amici, vengono anche i doveri verso la nostra Patria: parlare italiano, informarsi, studiare, votare (soprattutto ai referendum), promuovere il nostro paese, conoscere la sua diversità culturale, artistica e linguistica. Altrimenti, resti solo la (pro)nipote di un italiano e, come tale, hai 'scroccato' un passaporto. comunque benvenuta tra noi.
Good news also for your husband Connor: Il coniuge straniero può acquistare la cittadinanza italiana su domanda, in presenza dei seguenti requisiti: in Italia: due anni di residenza legale dopo il matrimonio; all'estero: tre anni dalla data del matrimonio. Tali termini sono ridotti della metà in presenza di figli nati o adottati dai coniugi.
Thanks or the info. I will be visiting my grandparents hometown in may and hope to, with VERY butchering of the Italian language, obtain birth certificates and what ever else I can get for dual citizenship. Keep the info coming!! A ton of help. Thank you!
Good job! Also love the longer hair!
Grazie!
I really love your person and all the things you do and I appreciate the love you have for Italy. The only thing that makes me sad is that our country doesn't give the citizenship to those second generation kids that were born and have lived here all their life ... But it gives it to people who are married to an Italian or to someone with great great great etc Italian grandparent. We really need to end this, we need ius soli! #iusoli
Blood is the only thing that matters. You are italian by blood, not because you are born there.
Sono contento per te, anche se trovo profondamente ingiusto che il mio Paese dia la cittadinanza a chi ha delle origini lontane ma di fatto nessun legame con l'Italia, mentre renda la vita impossibile a persone che in Italia ci sono nate, hanno studiato e ci lavorano. Perfettamente integrate ma "straniere", pagano le tasse, parlano italiano come madrelingua, ma non hanno diritto di voto e ogni anno devono fare la coda per rinnovare il permesso. Una vergogna.
L’Italia è il paese che concede più cittadinanze all’anno in Europa. Non credo si possa parlare di “vita impossibile” onestamente.
@@francisbegbie5102 appunto non è il quante ne concede e a chi e come lo fa il problema
@@gianricca sul fatto di concedere la cittadinanza a chi dell’Italia e della cultura italiana non sa letteralmente niente, solo per il fatto di avere un parente dell’800 vagamente italiano sono d’accordo sia un’ingiustizia e assurdità totale. Oltretutto questa pratica viene spesso fatta non per “amor patrio” bensì per approfittare del fatto che il passaporto italiano è uno di quelli che permette di andare in più paesi al mondo. Resta il fatto che l’Italia concede più di 200mila cittadinanze all’anno, dato più alto in Europa, e non si tratta di ricongiungimenti simili al video.
@@francisbegbie5102 l'Italia ha concesso circa 127 mila cittadinanze nel 2019, per quanto sicuramente tra questi non sia predominante il riconoscimento come nel video (anche se non ho dati in merito) ritengo che sia ingiusto come i due canali per il riconoscimento siano sbilanciati. Da un lato puoi vivere in Argentina, non conoscere l'italiano e non avere alcun legame con l'Italia se non un antenato dimenticato e ti diamo passaporto europeo e pure il diritto di voto, dall'altro devi essere in Italia da 10 anni e sottoporti a un processo che definire fumoso è un eufemismo e aspettare il tuo turno.
Credo che al di là dei numeri si debba riconoscere la cittadinanza solo a chi è e vuole essere un cittadino attivo, non a chi ha bisogno di un pass turistico per attraversare confini o fare conversazione con gli amici sulla propria doppia cittadinanza.
@@gianricca sono d’accordo. E ci sarebbe anche da aprire un capitolo sul voto all’estero. Conosco una famiglia che abita a Bogotà con cittadinanza italiana per parenti alla lontanissima che vota regolarmente alle elezioni. È una cosa incredibile.
Wow this is wild, my great Grandfather is from Calabria & I’m currently in Trani since July getting my citizenship!
Finally someone who explain the correct process!!!
Now you have to speak italian only 😌🇮🇹
Sto provando!
@@TheQKatie your blood is Italian, not American. Parla italiano e benvenuta, anche se non capisco cosa tu possa trovare di così affascinante in un paese distrutto e ridotto in povertà.
@@simonenatali4815 commento che esprime molta negatività, peccato. Vedi una persona molto contenta ed emozionata per avere preso la cittadinanza del tuo stesso paese (e quella dei suoi avi) e la vai a provare a demolire con un commento pieno di frustrazione: bravo👍🏻 speriamo che tu ti senta meglio dopo averlo scritto
@@francisbegbie5102 quando vedo morire le persone intorno a me, abbandonate da uno stato e quando vedo gente piangere perché non ha aiuti e mendica il pane, cosa posso pensare del mio paese? Liberato dalla dittatura e occupato dalle mafie nostrane e africane? Quartieri in mano alla criminalità nigeriana, tunisina, marocchina, nostrana ... Cosa posso pensare ? Se vuoi fare finta che sia tutto meraviglioso e bello, allora siediti e osserva il disastro umano che sta succedendo qua.
@@simonenatali4815 Se sei ricco l'Italia è un bel paese dove scegliere di vivere.
Stay at least 2 meters from a pineapple pizza or you will lose the pastaporto
hahahah good to know ;)
Congratulations. Living in Italy truly is the dream: I wish I could but I don't see how it'd work job wise. I guess the only alternative is to visit frequently and maybe take up residence after retirement. There is nothing quite like Italian cuisine and the ancient and Renaissance art sweeps me off my feet time and time again. Even the climate itself is soothing, the language like music and the people live like they know what's actually important in life. I know no nation is perfect and as an outsider you only see the glamerous side of things but what a country and people...
Hi there, Paraguayan here love your videos! Thank god my mom was born before 1948! It's such a chauvinistic law! I have lots of cousins who can't get double citizenship because of it. I've been living in Italy for 11 years now got my bachelor's and master's degrees in molecular biology. Lived in Rome, Camerino Pavia, Parma, and now in Reggio Emilia. Luckily an uncle of mine did all the paperwork for the double citizenship when I was a kid, It took him years. At the end of it, I was the one that took the most advantage hehe.
Wow! What a story!
So welcome to the italian citizens club, you can start paying a lot of taxes.
haha, can't wait ;) but really actually I've already benefited from the health system, so I feel that it's only fair that I pay my share of taxes to the system!
a lot of taxes in italy + taxes in America!
You don't pay taxes due to your Italian citizenship (unlike the US-passport) but due to your residency in Italy - which is fair.
You simply don't pay two times taxes to two different countries, there is this agreement called "convenzione contro la doppia imposizione" which forbids it.
@@ciross32 for what I know for America this isn't valid and you have to pay part of American taxes only two countries do that. To avoid this you have to renounce to your citizenship. My info have some years so maybe now are wrong.
TL;DR: She had an italian grand-grand-father. Dissapointing to a degree...
You’re in Bari, my hometown ❤️ it’s so nice to see it represented
its a lovely place!
@@TheQKatie As everybody knows, if Paris were on the sea, it would be a small Bari (Se Parigi avesse lu mere, sarebbe una piccola Beri).
Congratulations!!
