No. Buying a home is not a qualifying investment for Italy’s Investor Visa, the two-year visa for non-EU nationals run by the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy (MIMIT). It accepts four routes only: €2 million in Italian government bonds, €500,000 in an Italian limited company, €250,000 in an innovative startup, or a philanthropic donation of at least €1 million. The money is invested after you enter Italy, within three months, not before. Our investor visa guide explains the process.
