About
Bring your loved ones to live with you in Italy—legally, safely, and with long-term stability
Italy’s Family Visa—formally known as the Family Reunification Visa—allows non-EU citizens to join close family members who are legally residing in Italy. Whether you're bringing a spouse, children, or dependent parents, the visa grants the right to live, work, and access healthcare and education in Italy. It’s designed to keep families together while offering a clear legal framework and a path to long-term settlement in one of Europe’s most culturally rich countries.
Through our Private Office Hub, we connect sponsors and applicants with experienced Italian immigration lawyers and relocation professionals. From navigating the initial 'nulla osta' application to managing housing, income documentation, and post-arrival registrations, we support the entire journey—ensuring that your family’s relocation is as smooth and secure as possible.

Understanding Your Needs
Reuniting a family across borders involves more than just paperwork—it’s emotional, time-sensitive, and often complex. From accommodation certificates to income thresholds and consular timelines, even small errors can delay or jeopardise the process. You need support that understands both the emotional weight and the legal detail.
That’s why we built the Private Office Hub—to introduce you to qualified immigration and relocation professionals in Italy who specialise in family reunification. Whether you need guidance on housing certificates, healthcare access, or post-arrival registrations, we ensure your family’s move is planned, structured, and built to last.
