The conditions for issue and maintenance of the permit are: • the execution of the investment or donation declared in the visa application within three months of the date of entry into Italy; • the maintenance of the original investment for the entire period of validity of the permit. If one of these two conditions is not satisfied, the investor residence permit may be revoked, even before its expiry date, and renewal is not permitted.

obligations related to continuity of presence in the Italian territory do not apply in the period after obtaining the residence permit9.
Which family members can be included where officially stated, and what broad residence/work rights result?
The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm which family members can be included and their rights.
What status is obtained, how is it renewed, what longer-term residence/citizenship direction is officially stated, and what happens to the investment when relevant?
The status is a 2-year investor residence permit. If the investment or donation is maintained throughout the 2 years, a 3-year renewal can be requested at least 60 days before expiry, with a new Nulla Osta from the IV4I Committee. Maintaining the original investment or donation for 5 years allows a request for a long-term residence card. The official source does not state a citizenship direction or what happens to the investment after the long-term card.
