is there anyway to obtain italian citizenship?

[nrinker]

I am a 100% american product. Is there anyway I can ship my american buttox to italy and become an italian citizen? I don't want some answer that doesn't answer the question, please if anyone know's how I can become a citizen, I would like to know.......

[Ianco15]

Probably, but why would you want to become a filty Italian.?

[Chairman Wood]

??? I'm sure you could move there and eventually apply for citizenship after awhile. You of course would lose your US citizenship. Another idea is try to marry someone from there.

[nrinker]

Ok, so move there and then worry about citizenship? I thought it was the other way around......... I thought you were done within 6 months in most foriegn countries if you were non-productive and living upon the soil?

[jason_t]

Berlusconi would be happy to accept a bribe.

[nrinker]

ok jason, nice avatar, but honestly, I want to know more about what I am asking.

[daryn]

you lose US citizenship? that doesn't sound right.

[Chairman Wood]

If you ever take an oath and become a citizen of another country you are in effect renouncing your US citizenship

[nrinker]

Um... why isnt it right?

Pretty sure its right, we need someone to clarify.

[nrinker]

of course....... haha, you think I wouldn't know that i was dumping my U.S. citizenship upon taking Italian citizenship? Thats what this whole topic is about..... I want to leave the U.S. and go to Italy.

[nothumb]

Um, clear answer, marry an italian. Duh.

[ThaSaltCracka]

wtf? are you serious?

[Ianco15]

I think you could probably just move there and live without being an Italian citizen.

It is correct.

[jesusarenque]

You will not lose your US citizenship if you become an Italian citizen.

[Chairman Wood]

If you have a passport open it up to page 4 read under "Loss of Citizenship"

why can't you have dual-citizenship?

[Chairman Wood]

You could do that without becoming an Italian citizen.

[ThaSaltCracka]

well how come some people have dual citizenship?

Like for example, USA and Canada.

[nrinker]

Ok, so I could move there and not be a citizen...... ok thats great.... I haven't read anything similiar to that in all the research I have done regarding living in Italy......
I guess my research is not comprehensive enough.....

[Chairman Wood]

usually parents

[nothumb]

I'm fairly sure those people started off Canadian and were naturalized US, or else they had parents of both nationality or were born in the US to Canadian parents.

They are born into them. That is acceptable. I know someone with triple citizenship.

generally requires one parent of each nationality, or a nation that lets you keep citizenship elsewhere

U.S., not so much.

[nrinker]

Ok, I guess my question has changed. Does anyone know if I need to be an Italian citizen to live in a Italy?

[ThaSaltCracka]

ah yes, actually if I remember correctly, this chick I knew was born here, but her parents were canadian, thus the duality.

[Ianco15]

You're an [censored]. Hopefully you die soon.

[nrinker]

your talking to me?

[Chairman Wood]

Under certain circumstances you can. Such as you were born in another country with American parents. I believe there may exist something with Israel that disregards the impossiblity of having dual citizenship. But basically if you were born in the US to american parents, you would have to give up US citizenship to obtain citizenship from another country.

[nothumb]

For any length of time, and to get a job, you either need to be a citizen or have a visa specific to your work in Italy.

Again, all you need to do is get a visa, go over there, marry some chick, and get citizenship. Keep all your assets in cash, so when you leave, she can't get your stuff. Or, just find some chick cool enough to do it for free, or that you actually want to marry.

Instead of asking a bunch of poker players questions about citizenship, why don't you call the Italian consulet(sp?). Last time I checked they knew the exact requirements and can answer all your questions.

Because that would be too easy.

[nrinker]

In regards to Momo's post,

How bout, instead of whining like a little cockbaiting bitch like you are, why dont you mind your own business and only post on topics that you have knowledge on?

[Gin 'n Tonic]

The request for Italian citizenship by naturalisation can be made in one of the following cases:

1. your father, mother or one of your grandparents are or were Italian citizens by birth, or were they themselves born in Italy; in both cases it is necessary that you have been residing in Italy at least three years
2. if you have worked for the Italian State for a period of at least five years either in Italy or abroad
3. if you are of age and have been adopted by an Italian citizen and you have lived in Italy legally for at least five years since the adoption
4. if you are stateless or a refugee and have lived in Italy for at least five years
5. if you have lived legally in Italy for at least ten years
6. if you are a citizen of a European Community member state and have lived in Italy for at least four years. Your application should be presented in revenue stamped paper of 20.000 lira to the Prefecture of your Province of residence and be addressed to the President of the Republic.

I've lived in Italy for six years. I'm an aussie and I just came over and stayed. Kept jumping across the border every 3 months to get my passport stamped. Got around to getting a "permesso di sogiorno" which means permission to stay. Also it depend on which part of Italy you want to live in. In the south you can just bribe your way through with no problems. In the North, where I live, Its more by the book. You want to live in the North though, the south is like africa.
But if youre serious I recommend talking to the consulate or Italian friends who know what they're talking about because they can always find a way to fcuk you up if they want to. Just because I did it doesn't mean that everyone can.
