Bill Aims to Limit Access to Italian Citizenship for Great-Grandchildren, Also Requiring Language Proficiency and Legal Residency in the Country.

A bomb is about to explode in the universe of Italian descendants. The long-awaited Italian citizenship may be out of reach for many people with the possible change in law in Italy. A bill, presented by Italian senator Roberto Menia, is causing anxiety and concern among those who have the right to dual citizenship, especially Brazilians.

This bill seeks to limit the right to Italian nationality by descent, the so-called jus sanguinis (Right of Blood), to the fourth generation, that is, great-grandchildren. If that weren’t enough, other requirements are being proposed: proficiency in the Italian language, with the obligation of a B1 Certificate, and a legal residency of at least one year in Italy.

Concern Among Brazilians

This news has left many people worried, especially Brazilians who dream of securing Italian citizenship for themselves and their descendants. After all, changes in the law in Italy may end one of the great benefits of being a descendant of Italians: the possibility of maintaining a connection with the land of ancestors through citizenship.

Acceleration of Citizenship Processes

While the change in law in Italy has not been confirmed, many are racing against time to secure Italian citizenship before the new rules come into effect. Dr. Rodrigo, who is also the CEO of Instituto EuropaOnline, revealed that, following a recent change in the jurisdiction for adjudicating Italian judicial processes, the procedures are faster.

“The timeframe we gave to those who sought us was one year and eight months from distribution to judicial sentence. Currently, with the new law, the jurisdiction has become decentralized across all courts in Italy,” he explained.

Challenges Ahead with the Bill in Changing the Law

In addition to monitoring the change in law in Italy, Rodrigo Salgado also faces other challenges as Vice-President of the Association of European Attorneys – AEA. In his role, he assists people interested in immigrating to Italy or obtaining Portuguese citizenship. Among the sensitive issues he deals with is the end of the so-called ‘expression of interest’ in Portugal, which allowed tourists who decided to stay in the country to start their legalization process.

Another significant challenge pointed out by him is the search for old certificates and documents, something that may become even more crucial if the new law in Italy is approved, complicating the process of recognition of Italian citizenship for many descendants.

While the final decision is not made, the advice of experts is clear: those who have the right to Italian citizenship and have not yet started the process should hurry. The window of opportunity may be closing quickly.

The exodus of Brazilian industries to Paraguay is already changing the logistics of the South, putting pressure on BR-277, shifting cargo between ports, and raising an alert about competitiveness in the country.

While SpaceX and Boeing compete for billion-dollar NASA contracts, Turkey has begun constructing a spaceport in Somalia to launch rockets near the equator and transform the Horn of Africa’s coastline into a strategic shortcut to reach space by 2028.
