Comment on As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now?

  Under the new regulations, applicants must have at least one Italian parent or grandparent to apply under jus sanguinis. They must also demonstrate Italian language proficiency, which was previously only needed for naturalization through residency or marriage. The proficiency test is a five-part state exam held several times a year, or a higher level equivalency test for those not living in Italy.

  At the moment applicants do not have to be currently living in Italy, but do need to have previously lived in the country for three years to be eligible.

  Italian language proficiency, prior Italian residency for 3 years, those are both new as well.

    I don’t think language proficiency is a new requirement, but good to know, thanks.

    The residency I’m pretty sure is new, it used to be 10 years for citizenship through residency.

    thanks!

      Those are both new… I’ve been tracking this and collecting my own documents for some time. But if you can’t be bothered to read or search for yourself I’m going to stop engaging with you. Thanks for playing.

        You’re incorrect, residency and language fluency are not new residency requirements for Italian citizenship, although the proposals I brought up(that have not been signed into law yet) are being expanded specifically for ancestry petitions.

        You can try again.

        Varyk is correct, the cnn article has errors. Currently there is no language requirement in DL 36/2025, and the only residency requirement is to live there for 2 years before the birth or adoption of a child to pass citizenship on, if your parents weren’t born there. DDL 1450 is a proposed amendment that, in part, would allow minor children to fulfill the 2 year residency themselves, and (I believe) if they are no longer a minor, 3 years

        Here is an english translation of DL 36/2025. The actual text of the decree is near the bottom
