Belong Italy helps you track your journey from residence to Italian citizenship.
Belong Italy tracks how far you are from Italian citizenship. It is honest about the part you control and the part you do not. Below is what each tab does.
Choose the classic Midnight dark look or the new Mediterranean light theme with a warm coral accent. Switch any time from the You tab. Everything else stays exactly the same.
The Dashboard splits the journey into the part you control and the part you do not. The bar shows how close you are, and below it Belong Italy lists the routes open to you: the general ten year route, the two year route for descendants of Italian citizens, the three year route for people born in Italy, the four year EU route, the five year refugee and stateless route and the marriage route, each carrying its own status. Italy decides citizenship administratively through the Ministry of the Interior, so your route reaches a real finish line.
What if sits on the Dashboard and answers that without touching your file. Flip the B1 to passed, add a marriage to an Italian citizen, spend six months abroad, and watch your finish line move under the real Italian rules. It runs on a copy of your situation, so nothing you try is saved and nothing you entered changes.
Path opens your route and lays out every requirement in order. A green tick is met and a blue dot is in progress: ten years of legal, continuous residence, Italian at level B1 from a recognised body — CILS, CELI, PLIDA, CERT.IT or Ce.Co.L — sufficient declared income over the three preceding years, and a clean criminal record. Each item explains the rule in plain language and links to the official source, the Ministero dell'Interno or the Università per Stranieri di Siena.
Standing watches the moving ground, your time abroad and your record. Italian law sets no statutory day count, continuity is judged on your anagrafe registration staying unbroken, so Belong Italy measures your longest stay abroad against a six month line and tells you honestly when a trip could put your continuity in question. That figure comes from the permit rules and from how comuni handle long absences, not from the citizenship law, which fixes no number of days. Your record sits here too with a plain read on the clean record requirement.
Practice gives the language requirement its own place. There is no citizenship knowledge test in Italy — the requirement is Italian at level B1 — so instead of inventing a quiz, the tab tells you exactly what counts: reading, listening, writing and speaking at CEFR level B1, the shorter B1 Cittadinanza format CILS runs for citizenship applications, and the five recognised bodies — CILS, CELI, PLIDA, CERT.IT and Ce.Co.L. The official material sits one tap away, and a certificate from anywhere else does not count.
News is getting a partner. A collaboration with The Local Italy is in the works: the immigration and citizenship news that actually affects your path, filtered to Italy, in plain language and delivered inside the app. Until it lands, the News tab says exactly that — and nothing pretends to be live before it is.
You is where every number comes from. Set the month you became resident and a short list of honest toggles: permanent residence, marriage or civil union with an Italian citizen, your citizenship background, the income line and the B1. Change one and the Dashboard updates right away. Your language choice lives here too, English or Italiano with one tap, and so does the legal disclaimer, because Belong Italy tracks the rules but does not give legal advice.
