On October 21, 2020, the Italian Government amended the legislation enacted in December 2018. Significant adjustments have been made to the processing period for applications for citizenship by marriage, now set at 24 months or 2 years, with the possibility to extend to 36 months or 3 years.
This update means a reduction in processing time compared to the previous decree law, which required a processing period of 48 months or 4 years. Importantly, the revised requirements for Italian citizenship apply to applications submitted on or after October 22, 2020.
