A private eligibility and investment-fit review for non-EU investors and their families.
You are never asked to invest before the Italian authorities confirm you qualify. Capital moves only after your Nulla Osta pre-approval is issued — so you know your path is secure before a euro is committed.
Our leadership comes from a background in investment banking, immigration law, and international strategy. We’re based in Italy but serve investors across the globe.
People who want EU access without giving up financial control or legal peace of mind.
Four stages, clear ownership at each one, realistic timing based on cases we have closed.
Timing: 30–45 days. You gather personal documents with our checklist; our legal team prepares and files the application with Italian authorities. No capital moves at this stage.
Timing: 15–20 days. We coordinate directly with the Italian consulate in your country; you attend one in-person appointment to collect your investor visa.
Timing: within 8 days of entry. You travel to Italy; our team accompanies you to register your residency with local authorities.
Timing: within 3 months of entry. Only now do you transfer capital; we manage execution and provide the documentation required for your permit renewal.
It is a government-backed residency-by-investment program that grants a renewable 2-year residence permit to non-EU citizens who complete a qualifying investment or donation in Italy, with visa-free travel across the Schengen Area.
Most clients receive their Nulla Osta pre-approval within 30–45 days, and their investor visa within 90 days of starting the process.
After. You are never asked to commit capital before the Italian authorities issue your Nulla Osta pre-approval — your investment is only finalized once your path is confirmed.
Expect government processing fees (typically €300–€500 per application), consular visa fees, and standard legal/notarial costs for the investment vehicle. We provide a full, itemized cost breakdown before you commit to anything.
€250,000 into a qualified Italian startup, €500,000 into an Italian limited company, €1,000,000 as a philanthropic donation, or €2,000,000 in Italian government bonds. We recommend one route based on your profile — we do not ask you to choose from a menu.
Yes. Your spouse and dependent children are included in the same application at no additional investment, and can work or study in Italy under their own residence permits.
You must be a non-EU citizen, financially self-sufficient, with no criminal record, and able to complete one of the qualifying investment routes.
Your investor visa is valid for 2 years. Renewal for a further 3 years requires only that you maintain the qualifying investment — we manage the renewal filing on your behalf.
Investment horizons vary by route (typically 2–5 years). Selling before your permit renewal can affect eligibility; we walk you through exit timing and liquidity for each route before you choose one, as part of your assessment.
Italy offers a flat-tax regime for new residents (a fixed annual amount on foreign-sourced income) that many Golden Visa holders qualify for. We are not tax advisors and always recommend confirming your specific position with a licensed Italian tax professional.
Yes, to execute and hold your qualifying investment. We introduce you to partner banks experienced with non-resident investor onboarding.
Real estate purchase alone does not qualify for the Golden Visa route under current Italian law. It can complement a qualifying investment, but is not a substitute for one — we will tell you clearly if a route you have in mind does not qualify.
Because capital is never invested before pre-approval, a denial carries no investment loss. We review denial cases in advance during your assessment to keep this risk as low as possible.
Tell us a little about your situation. A senior advisor reviews every submission personally and replies within one business day.

Ariete Capital enables applicants to obtain a Golden Visa through a €2,000,000 investment in Italian government bonds, one of the safest and most conservative options available.
The capital is allocated to BTPs or equivalent long-term instruments issued by the Italian Republic, with a maturity of at least 2 years, and held throughout the duration of the residence permit.
This path offers:
State-backed security, with minimal risk of capital loss
Passive income via interest payments
A clear, predictable structure requiring no active management
It’s particularly suited for:
Investors with low risk tolerance
Individuals focused on capital preservation
Applicants seeking the most institutionally stable route
While returns are modest, this route ensures legal residency through a structure aligned with sovereign financial instruments and minimal exposure to market volatility.
Ariete Capital provides access to a Golden Visa-eligible path through a €1,000,000 philanthropic donation to Italian public-interest initiatives, in line with national priorities.
These contributions are made to officially recognized organizations operating in sectors such as education, culture, scientific research, and immigration support — initiatives that enrich Italy’s long-term development and social impact.
While this investment path does not provide financial return, it offers the most streamlined, low-effort route to residency, without the complexity of managing assets or holding capital at risk.
This route is ideal for:
High-net-worth individuals looking to combine mobility and legacy
Families or trusts with charitable mandates
Applicants who value simplicity and social contribution over financial gain
This is a donation-based investment, best suited for those seeking to align their residency goals with long-term values and public good.
Ariete Capital offers a distinctive investment pathway that combines European residency with ownership in some of Italy’s most iconic companies.
Through a minimum investment of €500,000, investors acquire Class B Units in a KPMG-audited Italian entity that allocates capital across a curated portfolio of market leaders including Ferrari, Moncler, Brunello Cucinelli, Campari, and Technogym.
The strategy is deliberately structured:
10% in cash equivalents
This diversified allocation targets a net IRR of 9%, balancing capital preservation with growth.
Ariete provides both a legitimate pathway to Italian residency and meaningful exposure to Italy’s luxury, lifestyle, and industrial champions, making it an ideal solution for investors seeking both European access and long-term capital growth rooted in Italian excellence.
Ariete Tech Solutions, the technology division of Ariete Capital, offers a Golden Visa–eligible investment through a €250,000 position in a certified innovative startup helping mid-market and enterprise clients across Europe adopt AI safely and within the boundaries the EU AI Act now imposes.

The model is proven:
Investors receive equity in a growing AI advisory and software business at the intersection of enterprise AI adoption and regulatory compliance. The structure is professionally managed and fully compliant, with clear liquidity pathways through strategic exits or public offering.
This is a residency-eligible investment designed for HNWI with a long-term perspective, focused on preserving capital while securing Italian residency through a transparent, institutionally governed structure.
