Hi, I am new to this forum so please let me introduce myself first.

I am dual US and Italian citizen living in the US; my wife and I own a property in Italy.

My wife is a US citizen; we are trying to get her Italian citizenship (via ius matrimonium), but we miss some documents.

I am retired and travel back and forth between US and Italy (for <6 months for tax reasons, among others).

My wife will retire in a couple of years and travels less because of the limitations of her tourist VISA (90 days/180 Schengen rule).

My question is how she can stay in Italy for periods longer that 90 days but still <6 months in a calendar year?

Elective VISA? Any other options?

We do not plan to change our residency to Italy.

Thank you all for any advice you might give us

Kind regards

Maurizio
