Italy Golden Visa Cost Calculator

What should you budget beyond the qualifying investment? Estimate initial application costs and renewal budgets for an individual, couple or family across Italy’s Investor Visa routes.

Separate the investment or donation from professional fees, government charges and your own planning allowances. Then compare the initial application, the renewal after two years and the next renewal after three more years.

Calculate Your Budget Request an Initial Assessment

Planning for 2027 using information available in October 2026. Professional-fee defaults reflect a quotation supplied by a programme delivery law firm; they are not a universal tariff. Renewal professional fees and unconfirmed costs are editable planning allowances.

01

Capital Is Separate From Fees

The qualifying investment is not an application charge. The donation route is a non-refundable contribution. Neither should be confused with the additional costs of arranging and maintaining residence.

02

Your Household Matters

A spouse, children and eligible dependent parents can change professional fees, visa requirements, permit charges and document costs. Passport and family circumstances also matter.

03

Budget by Stage

The initial permit and subsequent renewals involve different costs. Maintaining the qualifying investment does not mean investing the same capital again at each renewal.

Calculate Initial and Renewal Costs

Choose your route and household, then adjust the assumptions to match the quotations and information you have received. All amounts are in euros.

Residence and the service supplied matter; nationality alone does not determine VAT. Confirm the invoice treatment with the law firm.
Budgeting estimate, not an all-inclusive quotation or guaranteed total. Government components, quoted professional fees and editable allowances are identified separately. Provider charges default to €0 unless entered; this does not mean none apply. Actual costs may differ. Applicable taxes, professional surcharges and unpriced third-party expenses should be confirmed with the relevant providers.
Initial application: professional fees, taxes and provider charges

Professional-fee defaults come from the law firm’s supplied quotation. Adjust them if your quotation differs.

Included once at the quoted amount. Confirm coverage and any applicable tax.
Selecting listed shares inserts the separately quoted €2,500 assistance fee. This is not a bank tariff. Changing route resets this field.
Enter confirmed additional charges, inclusive of any tax on them. No pension contribution or general-expense percentage is added automatically.
Generic default of €0. Enter the charge for your selected opportunity; zero does not mean it is free.
Enter only tax not already included above. Lawyer VAT is not automatically applied to provider fees.
Family procedure depends on passport and circumstances. The main applicant’s visa fee remains included.
Initial application: documents, insurance, travel and other allowances
For certificates, apostilles, legalisation, translations or couriers not included in your professional quotation. Avoid counting included services twice.
Include confirmed transaction, initial custody, management, notarial or other charges not entered elsewhere. Avoid duplication.
Renewals: editable planning assumptions

Renewal professional fees have not been quoted. The defaults below are illustrative budgeting allowances, applied separately to each renewal event.

Unconfirmed planning allowance for the three-year renewal. Confirm the applicable contribution rather than treating €100 as a verified investor-renewal tariff.
Separate from initial VAT because residence and invoice treatment may change before renewal.
Enter the total payable, including applicable tax.
This amount is repeated at each included renewal. It is not an annual-charge field. Ongoing management, custody and performance fees are not calculated automatically.

Understanding the Figures

What This Budget Includes—and What It Leaves Out

The Qualifying Amount

The calculator includes the selected route’s qualifying investment or donation once. Renewal estimates assume it remains in place; they do not add a second investment.

Application and Professional Costs

The breakdown distinguishes quoted professional fees, modelled government components and editable allowances. A provider-specific quotation is still needed before proceeding.

Renewal Planning

Renewal budgets are planning scenarios rather than quotations. Family composition, children’s ages, residence, applicable charges and professional support may change.

Provider-specific fees are excluded unless entered. These can include subscription or entry charges, management fees, custody fees and performance fees, including charges on returns above a hurdle. Some reduce investment assets or distributions rather than appearing as a separate invoice.

The estimate also excludes living costs, property purchases, schooling, personal taxes, investment gains or losses, inflation and the opportunity cost of capital. A €0 allowance does not establish that an item is free. Combined budgets add the selected application and renewal events, not every annual expense between them.

Practical Questions

Italy Investor Visa Cost FAQs

Is the qualifying investment an application fee?

No. It is the capital committed through the chosen investment route. Its value and recoverability depend on the investment. The philanthropic route is a donation rather than recoverable investment capital.

Does each family member need a separate qualifying investment?

This calculator assumes one main qualifying investment and additional family application costs. Which relatives can join and the procedure they use depend on the applicable family rules and their circumstances.

Are management, subscription and performance fees included?

Only amounts you expressly enter are included. The master calculator does not assume a particular product’s subscription fee or calculate annual management charges, custody fees or performance fees. Obtain the full provider fee schedule, including charges deducted from capital or returns.

Does VAT depend on whether I have an American passport?

Nationality alone does not determine VAT. Client residence, the nature of the service and the invoicing arrangements matter. The calculator offers editable assumptions; the relevant provider must confirm the treatment of its charges.

Why does the listed-shares route add €2,500?

The supplied quotation separately prices remote assistance with bank onboarding for listed-share investments at €2,500. This is an assistance fee, not a statutory charge or a bank’s own custody or trading tariff. You can edit it.

Are renewal fees confirmed?

The law firm’s supplied quotation covers initial assistance, not renewal professional fees. Renewal defaults are illustrative. The permit contribution for the three-year investor renewal also requires confirmation; the displayed allowance is editable.

Does the combined budget include all costs over five years?

No. It adds the initial application and the renewal events you select. It does not automatically accumulate annual insurance, management, custody or other recurring charges between those events. The renewal at year five concerns the following permit period.

Can I withdraw the investment automatically after five years?

The calculator does not assume this. A year-five renewal is different from obtaining a separate permanent or long-term residence status. Any withdrawal must be considered against your immigration position and the investment’s actual exit terms.

What happens if a child turns 18 before renewal?

The calculator flags that event and changes the modelled permit contribution to the adult allowance. It does not determine continuing family eligibility or the residence route the child may need at that stage.

Sources and Method

A Transparent Planning Framework

Initial professional-fee defaults use the supplied law-firm quotation: €7,000 for the main applicant, €3,000 for a spouse, €2,000 per dependent parent and €1,500 per minor child, plus €500 for tax code and digital signature. Family fees and scope should be reconfirmed, particularly where separate family nulla osta and visa applications are needed.

Government-charge components are modelled separately from professional services. The calculator uses a €116 national-visa allowance, €30.46 electronic-permit production component, €16 stamp duty where modelled, €30 postal submission where modelled and a €50 initial adult permit contribution. Submission method and the charges applicable to each person should be checked before payment.

Figures are a planning reference using information available in October 2026, not a guarantee of future charges. Renewal professional fees and the three-year renewal contribution are unconfirmed allowances. Provider-specific investment fees are excluded unless entered. General information, not personal legal, tax or investment advice.
