Things to Remember on How to Enter Italy during Coronavirus
iVisa
4 min read
Updated on Dec 19, 2023

The initial outbreak of the coronavirus blew up into a pandemic that affected most of the countries in the world. The recent improvements seen come thanks in no small part to the collective effort of all affected countries to implement protocols designed to slow down or permanently halt the spread of the virus into their territory.

Italy may once have been one of the most severely affected countries in the world, but it is now firmly on the road to a full recovery, with many of its hospitals shutting down their COVID-19 wings after the last of their patients have recovered. The country is taking all it knows about past pandemics and the current outbreak, along with the knowledge and technology developed by other countries, and integrating them all into a plan that will help keep the disease at bay while it re-opens borders to international travel.

Read on and find out how Italy will move forward with their immigration policies and how they will handle border management and travelers.

Note: Since May 1st, 2022, the Italy Self Declaration Form is no longer necessary to enter the country.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a COVID vaccine or vaccination certificate to enter Italy?

No, you don't. As of today, COVID vaccination passports or certificates are not mandatory to enter Italy. Since information may change quickly, we advise you to follow up on the latest Italy travel updates and/or contact your local embassy.

Do I need a negative COVID-19 test result to enter Italy?

  • COVID test prior to arrival: Pre-departure tests are no longer required.

Do I need to quarantine when I arrive in Italy?

  • Quarantine requirements: There are no quarantine requirements.

Who can travel freely into Italy?

If you come from European countries, you will be free to travel and enter Italy whatever your purpose is (including tourism). Here are the states in Europe whose travelers are free to enter Italy:

European Union member states Belgium, Poland, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Slovakia, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Croatia, Slovenia, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, France, Portugal, Hungary, Spain, Malta, Greece, Cyprus, and Luxemburg. Italy requires a 14-day quarantine for travelers who stayed in Romania and Bulgaria, two members of the European Union, within the last 14 days.

Travelers coming from the non-EU European states of Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Iceland, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, as well as the microstates of Andorra, Republic of San Marino, Principality of Monaco, and Vatican City will be able to freely enter into Italy. They will still need a Health Declaration Card before they will be let into the country.

What about for those from other non-EU states?

If you are from a country that is not a member of the EU or the Schengen Agreement, you will be allowed to enter Italy if there is an absolute urgency on your part that you enter; it is proven that your work inside the country is necessary; you are going in for health reasons; and if you are proven to be a student or other study requirements inside Italy.

In certain conditions, citizens of third states will be able to enter Italy even without providing a reason for entry. But otherwise, all inbound travelers to Italy not coming from the countries stated above will need to have a valid reason for entry into the country. And once they enter, they will need to subject themselves to a 14-day quarantine period.

What about for travelers from high-risk countries?

Travelers from countries considered high-risk for COVID-19 will not be allowed to enter Italy. If a traveler stayed in one of the following countries within the last 14 days, they will be forbidden to enter the country: Bosnia Herzegovina, Armenia, Kosovo, Moldova, Chile, Panama, Dominican Republic, Peru, Brazil, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, Bangladesh, Montenegro, and North Macedonia.

What conditions will ban a person from entering Italy?

Even if you are a citizen of a country which can freely enter Italy, you will not be allowed to enter the country if you have positively been identified as infected with the coronavirus. You will also be banned from entering if you have been in close contact with someone who has COVID-19.

Is iVisa.com safe to use?
