Travel authorisation
you will need for your holiday in Italy from 2025
From mid-2025 new legislation will require you to apply for a travel authorisation before entering Italy. This is for you, your family and any guest you bring with you if you are from countries included on the visa-exempt list.
The introduction of the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) will see visitors from many countries have to organise in-advance this additional travel requirement.
30 European countries now require travellers from visa-exempt countries to apply for an ETIAS prior to travelling to their country. Italy is one of these countries you has stipulated this requirement.
If you are from one of the countries listed below you will need a visa:
HOW DO YOU APPLY?
Complete the online application form on the ETIAS website. At this link all infos and the online form:
https://travel-europe.europa.eu/index_en
You will need to have a valid travel document and pay a EUR 7 application fee.
It can take minutes to apply, but some applications require more information which can take up to 30 days to authorise – give yourselves time!
HOW LONG ARE YOU COVERED FOR?
The authorisation is valid for 3 years or until your travel document expires (or whatever happens first within that 3 year period).
It is for short-term stays, entitling you to stay in the European countries requiring ETIAS for up to 90 days within any 180-day period.
You must be in possession of a valid ETIAS travel authorisation during your entire stay. You can leave and come back at any time, as long as you respect this time limit.
