Short answer
Hold the investment and renew on schedule.
Information, not legal advice. MovItaly is not a law firm. Check with the questura or consulate before you act.
Scam warning: no one sells visas. No agent, website or social-media account can sell you an Italian investor visa or a sure quota place. The only route is your own application to the official committee and consulate. Never pay anyone who promises a sure approval.
Talk to a lawyer first. An investor visa involves large sums and legal commitments. Book a licensed immigration lawyer (marketplace category LAWYER) before you move any money.
