Ha, I'm literally looking into the same thing as well. Somehow I was never informed that me and my kids are eligible. Its supposedly somewhat easier because because my mother is an Italian citizen and living. But I didn't want to have to travel somewhere either. I did read something about how you can get it done quickly while in Italy. I'm kicking myself having missed the chance to do that while I was there a couple of years ago. Open to any advice you might have.
- davidw 6y agoI haven't looked at it for a while because we've just been holed up at home, but I seem to recall that the biggest PITA was having to do some kind of language test, and you can only do that via approved places. I speak the language fluently, so it's not a worry, just a hassle, but if you don't speak it well, you probably ought to brush up. Also: requirements may differ for different situations - I am married to an Italian woman. Sometimes things are different for children or other relationships.
- vyrotek 6y agoYes, that's what I understand too. I believe since I have a direct blood relation that neither me nor my kids would need to do those tests but my wife would. But I wasn't sure if I would need to visit the consulate. Definitely tricky to pull off these days. Looks like you lived in Padova for quite some time. I was there for 6 months or so back in 2003. Would love to visit again. My family there is mostly in Milano but from Cuneo and Sardegna. :)
