If you are planning to visit Italy in the next few days, here is a list of the countries with the related relevant restictions and information for travellers, based on the latest instructions listed on the Ministry of Health website, valid until July, 30th.

For individuals coming from EU and the Schengen Area, they are requested to present the Eu Digital COVID Certificate showing that:

- you have completed the prescribed anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination cycle at least 14 days ago, or

- you have recovered from COVID-19 (the certificate of recovery is valid for 180 days from the date of the first positive swab), or

- you have taken a negative molecular or antigen swab test in the 48 hours prior to entering Italy.

The entry from Israel and from Japan, Canada and the United States of America to Italy, is possibile showing a COVID-19 green certificate but you will also be required to fill in the Digital Passenger Locator Form available here.

Entry to Italy is prohibited for people coming from India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka or who have stayed in the countries in the preceding fourteen days, with the exception:

- of Italian citizens registered as residents in Italy since before April 29, 2021 and who do not display any symptoms of COVID-19 (by means of self-declaration, without the need for authorisation from the Ministry of Health)

- of Italian citizens registered on the Registry of Italians Resident Abroad (AIRE) (by means of self-declaration, without the need for authorisation from the Ministry of Health.)

In all cases, entry will be allowed following presentation of a certificate of negative molecular or antigen test performed in the 72 hours prior to entry, compulsory molecular or antigen test upon arrival at the airport; compulsory isolation, regardless of the test result, at a COVID Hotel for a period of ten days; compulsory molecular or antigen test at the end of the quarantine period; compulsory completion of the Digital Passenger Locator Form before entering Italy.

Those who have stayed in or transited through the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the 14 days prior to entering Italy are required to:

- produce a negative molecular or antigen swab test in the 48 hours prior to entering Italy;

- fill in the Digital Passenger Locator Form before entering Italy; 

- undergo health surveillance and self-isolation for 5 days;

- undergo an additional molecular or antigen swab test at the end of the 5-day isolation period.

Some exemptions to self-isolation apply, such as for people who enter Italy from the UK for a period of less than 5 days for reasons of work, health or emergency; for people who transit in Italian territory by private vehicle for less than thirty-six hours; and for the staff of businesses and entities with registered or secondary offices in Italy, travelling for proven reasons of work or spending less than 5 days in Italy.

And children under 6 years of age are exempt from the pre-departure swab test in all cases.

Now you know if you and your family can still travel to Italy in the next couple of weeks, and we’ll keep you posted on any update!
