Wed, 13 Dec 2023 - 109 - UPDATE - Italian Citizenship Through the Courts via a Minor Ancestor
Navigating the process of Italian citizenship through ancestry involves unique considerations, especially when an Italian ancestor naturalized as a U.S. citizen while their child was a minor. Recent legal developments in local regional courts have been favorable, often approving such cases. The situation, however, can vary with different family lines, notably in cases where ancestors were automatically naturalized due to pre-1922 marriage laws. This evolving landscape reflects the deep interconnection between historical laws, societal changes, and individual quests for heritage, underscoring the importance of staying informed and seeking expert guidance in the journey toward Italian citizenship.

Wed, 15 Nov 2023 - 107 - Forms Needed for Italian Citizenship - U.S. Consulate vs Applying In Italy
Applying for Italian citizenship can require a thorough understanding of the necessary forms and procedures, whether you're applying through a consulate or directly in Italy. In the U.S., applicants might need to complete multiple forms, including an application for citizenship by descent, a self-declaration form, and forms for living ascendants and deceased ancestors. Each of these forms should be notarized and apostilled. However, the process can be more streamlined in Italy due to the difference in requirements. For those with specific cases, like the 1948 cases, petitioning the courts in Italy is an option worthwhile considering. Here, the only document typically needed is a power of attorney for representation in court. With the increasing wait times at some consulates, many are now choosing to petition the courts for citizenship, making it essential to be well-informed about the varying requirements and procedures. In this episode of the Italian Citizenship Podcast hosted by Italian Attorney Marco Permunian and dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, delve deep into the intricacies of the Italian citizenship application process, offering insights and clarifications to help potential applicants navigate their journey to Italian citizenship.

Wed, 18 Oct 2023 - 105 - The ETIAS Visa Waiver for Italy and European Travel
The upcoming European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) visa waiver system will be essential for specific non-European Union nationals. These are individuals who currently don't need a visa for brief visits to Italy and the rest of the European Union, lasting up to 90 days. Although ETIAS isn't a visa, it functions as an extra layer of travel authorization. Once granted, it will offer the flexibility of multiple entries over three years. The application process will be streamlined and digital, with a fee of 7 euros for applicants aged between 18 and 70. The primary purpose of ETIAS is to enhance European Union security by keeping track of travelers from designated countries. Importantly, those holding dual European citizenship, such as Italian nationals, won't need to apply for ETIAS. In this episode of the Italian Citizenship Podcast hosted by Italian Attorney, Marco Permunian, and dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, share an overview and details of the upcoming ETIAS system for those thinking about traveling to Italy or moving to Italy.

Wed, 04 Oct 2023 - 104 - The Italian Healthcare System - An Overview
Italy's healthcare system is often praised for its quality and accessibility, but it can be a maze for newcomers. Public hospitals generally offer free services, but the wait times can be long. Private hospitals provide quicker service but at a cost. The "ticket" system in public hospitals is an interesting feature, offering a nominal fee for some services, with exemptions available for certain groups.
Pharmacies in Italy are more than just medication dispensaries. Some offer basic health tests and even have vending machines for over-the-counter items. Booking a specialist appointment involves a unique process, often requiring a referral from a general practitioner. The system prioritizes residents based on their region and district, affecting wait times for appointments.
For those venturing outside Italy but within the European Union, the Italian blue healthcare card and Italian ID can help you access emergency healthcare services. Navigating the Italian healthcare system is an experience in itself, blending regional nuances with national policies.
In this episode of the Italian Citizenship Podcast hosted by Italian attorney Marco Permunian and dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, delve into the intricacies of navigating Italy's healthcare system, from hospitals to pharmacies and even accessing care while in the EU outside of Italy.

Wed, 20 Sep 2023 - 103 - The '1912 Rule' - Italian Citizenship by Descent
The path to Italian citizenship by descent is filled with nuances, shaped by various laws and historical benchmarks. Rooted in Italian Law 555 of 1912, this regulation introduced changes that could dramatically alter the citizenship status of some descendants of Italians who emigrated and became naturalized citizens elsewhere.
While other dates like January 1, 1948, have their own significance, the 1912 rule is a less commonly discussed but crucial factor that can influence eligibility for Italian citizenship by descent. Its complexities are not merely historical details; they have real-world implications for those navigating the intricate process of claiming Italian citizenship through ancestry (Jus Sanguinis).

Wed, 06 Sep 2023 - 102 - Why "Decision 17161" ISN'T Binding for Other 1948 Cases and Jure Sanguinis
Italy's judicial system has always been a tapestry of rich history and intricate legal nuances. Recently, it's been abuzz with discussions around a particular decision: 17161, passed on June 15th, 2023. On the surface, it might seem like just another ruling from the Italian Supreme Court, the Corte di Cassazione.
While many judicial systems around the world operate on the principle of binding precedents, Italy does things their own way. But how does it differ? Does a ruling from the Supreme Court carry the weight someone more familiar with the US system expect?
Moreover, if you're seeking citizenship through consulates or municipalities, how does this decision impact you?

Wed, 23 Aug 2023 - 101 - Italian Citizenship News Update - Decision 17161 of June 15, 2023 (& "1948 Cases")
The Italian citizenship landscape has been buzzing with discussions about a recent court case that recently went through the Court of Rome. This case has left many wondering about the future of Italian citizenship by descent. The case in question, Decision 17161 of June 15th, 2023, rendered by the Italian Supreme Court(Corte di Cassazione), revolves around the 1948 cases. This ruling relates to a subcategory of 1948 cases where the individual(s) have an Italian-born ancestor who became naturalized while their child, born in the U.S., was still a minor. The age of adulthood under Italian law changed in 1975 from 21 to 18 years. The recent Supreme Court decision stated that the naturalization of the ancestor, while the U.S.-born child was still a minor, caused the loss of Italian citizenship for the child. However, it's crucial to understand that in the Italian legal system, this decision is not binding for other courts. In this episode of the Italian Citizenship Podcast Hosted by Marco Permunian, an Italian Attorney and dual-citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, cover this recent case and Decision 17161 of June 15th, 2023 and discuss what this means for individuals who may fall into this sub-category.

Wed, 09 Aug 2023 - 100 - Getting an Italian ID Card and Passport - What You Need to Know
Italian citizenship, a status that does not expire, often leads individuals to pursue obtaining an Italian passport or ID card. These two forms of identification serve different purposes, with the passport enabling international travel and the ID card permitting travel within the European Union. The recent introduction of a plastic ID card in Italy has expanded its accessibility to non-citizens residing in the country. The process of acquiring these documents can vary, depending on whether one resides in Italy or abroad. A unique aspect of the Italian passport is its issuance under a woman's birth name, regardless of any name change due to marriage. The passport also features a biometric chip, enhancing its security. Its global mobility ranking is impressive, placing it within the top three passports worldwide. In this episode of the Italian Citizenship Podcast hosted by Italian attorney, Marco Permunian and dual citizen expat podcaster, Rafael Di Furia discuss the nuances of obtaining these identification documents, the differences between them, and the unique features that make the Italian passport a highly sought-after travel document.

Wed, 26 Jul 2023 - 99 - How to Renounce Italian Citizenship
Renunciation of Italian citizenship is a process that in the past could have happened to one of your ancestors passively whereas nowadays it would require an active effort to do so. Active renunciation may be necessary to take into consideration due to professional circumstances, such as government jobs that prohibit dual citizenship or multi-nationality. On the other hand, passive renunciation often happened historically when a person became naturalized in a foreign country, leading to an automatic loss of Italian citizenship. Despite these complexities, the Italian law allows for the reacquisition of citizenship. Individuals who have renounced their citizenship can regain it by temporarily relocating back to Italy and initiating the reacquisition process. However, it's important to note that the renunciation of Italian citizenship has implications for future generations. In this episode of the Italian Citizenship Podcast, Hosted by Italian Attorney Marco Permunian and dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, delve into the intricacies of renouncing and reacquiring Italian citizenship, the implications for future generations, and the historical context of passive renunciation.
