Italy Visa Information

Visitor Visa Routes & Entry Options for Traveling to Italy

Italy, celebrated for its historic cities, art, cuisine, and Mediterranean landscapes, follows Schengen Area entry rules for tourists. Travelers from visa-exempt countries can enter Italy for up to 90 days within a 180-day period without needing a visa, making short tourist trips simple and flexible.Nationals who require authorization must apply for a Schengen Tourist Visa (Type C) before traveling. This visa allows leisure visits, sightseeing, and short family or friend visits. Applicants generally need a valid passport, travel insurance, proof of accommodation, financial means, and a round-trip travel plan to support their stay.

For visits longer than the standard short-stay limit, travelers must apply for the appropriate national long-stay visa or residence permit. Italy offers options for study, employment, family reunification, and other extended purposes, but long-stay tourist visas are not typically issued.

If you plan to visit Italy (for tourism, business, or short visits) for up to 90 days, you need a Schengen Short-Stay Visa (Type C / tourist visa) — unless your nationality is visa-exempt. This visa allows stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period.

Typical required documents include: a valid passport (valid at least three months beyond your planned departure), a completed and signed visa-application form, recent passport-size photos, round-trip flight reservations, proof of accommodation (hotel booking or invitation/host address), proof of sufficient funds to cover your stay, and travel medical insurance covering at least € 30,000 for emergencies.

Yes — because Italy is part of the Schengen Area. A valid Schengen visa issued for Italy generally allows you to travel freely to other Schengen-member countries (subject to the same 90 days in 180-day rule).
