How to Renounce Italian Citizenship

Italian Citizenship Assistance
About this episode

Renunciation of Italian citizenship is a process that in the past could have happened to one of your ancestors passively whereas nowadays it would require an active effort to do so. Active renunciation may be necessary to take into consideration due to professional circumstances, such as government jobs that prohibit dual citizenship or multi-nationality. On the other hand, passive renunciation often happened historically when a person became naturalized in a foreign country, leading to an automatic loss of Italian citizenship. Despite these complexities, the Italian law allows for the reacquisition of citizenship. Individuals who have renounced their citizenship can regain it by temporarily relocating back to Italy and initiating the reacquisition process. However, it's important to note that the renunciation of Italian citizenship has implications for future generations. In this episode of the Italian Citizenship Podcast, Hosted by Italian Attorney Marco Permunian and dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, delve into the intricacies of renouncing and reacquiring Italian citizenship, the implications for future generations, and the historical context of passive renunciation.
