The Italy Passive Income Residency Visa — officially the Elective Residence Visa (ERV) — allows non-EU citizens to live in Italy long-term without working, by demonstrating stable passive income.
This program may be suitable for retirees, investors, landlords, remote earners (non-employment income), and financially independent individuals who want to enjoy Italy’s lifestyle, culture, safety, and Mediterranean climate. Italy strengthened financial verification but improved processing speed for complete and well-prepared applications.
