• your contact details (name and surname, place and date of birth, nationality,  place of residence, personal email address, and personal telephone number)
• brief curriculum vitae of your main academic and professional experience
• an indication of the type of investment
• a copy of your valid passport
• proof of ownership of the necessary financial resources
• proof of the absence of criminal convictions and pending charges
• a description of the characteristics of the investment and proof of consent from the recipients
• a declaration of commitment to donate the funds, validated with an electronic signature, including an indication of the amount that you are willing to invest and the municipality where you wish to settle 

After the issue of the Nulla Osta by the Committee, go to the Italian representation in your country of residence to apply for a Golden Visa and submit the following documents:

• an entry visa application form
• recent passport-size photographs
• a valid travel document
• Nulla Osta (certificate of no impediment/authorization)

Enter Italy and apply for a temporary residence permit within 8 days of your arrival in Italy. 

• Pick up an application kit for Italian residency at the Sportello Amico of a post office (Poste Italiane) near you. 
• Carefully fill in the application form (MOD 1 or MOD 2) to correspond with the entry visa. Do not close/seal the application envelope, because the officer needs to review all of  the documents.
• Submit the application form and the following additional documents at the post office:

• • a Marca da Bollo stamp (duty stamp)
  • passport-size photographs
  • your valid travel document
  • a copy of your travel document
  • a copy of the health insurance policy valid in Italy and for the entire duration of your stay
  • proof of suitable accommodation
  • financial resources proving that you can support yourself for your whole stay
  • your tax code (Codice Fiscale)
  • documented proof of your work activity

The post office will forward the application to the responsible police station and give you a receipt that serves as a temporary residence permit until the moment of issue. (Don’t lose it!). In the receipt, you will find the summons date to go to the police station for identification (fingerprinting).

Do not miss the day of the summons at the police station (Questura). It takes a lot of time to rebook another date, and the issuance of the residence permit will be delayed. 

You will be summoned one last time to collect your Residence Permit.

Be aware that you must fulfill the two conditions for the issuance and maintenance of the permit:

• make the investment or donation declared in the visa application within 3 months of your date of entry into Italy
• maintain the original investment for the entire valid period of the residence permit
