The Elective Residence Visa (residenza elettiva) is a long-term visa that enables non-EU citizens to establish permanent residence in Italy. It is reserved for individuals who have sufficient passive income, such as pensions, annuities, rental income, or financial investment, and do not intend to work in Italy.
It is also known as the Italian retirement visa.

Main requirements are:

- Provide proof of suitable accommodation in Italy, either through property ownership or a valid lease agreement
