Formalities for travelling

EU citizens can travel to Italy with just a valid ID card. For a great number of countries in north and south America, as well as Australia, only a valid passport will be asked. However, this only works if the length of your trip does not exceed 90 days.

To stay more than 90 days or for citizens of other countries, a visa might be necessary. It is recommended to seek information at the embassy but most visa applications can be done online. Prices may change according to the type of visa required and the home country.
