-
For Citizens of the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand & other visa-exempt countries
-
Visa Not Required:
Citizens of these countries do not need a visa for short stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period for tourism purposes, which includes attending a wedding.
-
Passport Validity:
Passports must be valid for at least three months (in some cases 6 months) beyond the intended date of departure from the Schengen Area. The passport must also have been issued within the last 10 years.
-
ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System):
The new ETIAS travel authorisation system, which will be required for visa-exempt nationals, is not expected to be operational in 2025. The launch has been postponed to late 2026. Therefore, guests from these countries will not need to apply for ETIAS for travel in 2025.
-
EES (Entry/Exit System):
Starting in late 2025, the EU plans to introduce an automated Entry/Exit System at its borders. This is a procedural change where non-EU travellers will have their fingerprints and facial images recorded instead of getting a passport stamp. This does not require any action before travel but will be a new process at the airport upon arrival.
For Citizens of European Union (EU) / Schengen Area Countries:
-
Freedom of Movement:
Citizens of other EU and Schengen Area countries have the right to travel to Italy without a visa and can stay without time limits. They should travel with a valid passport or national ID card.

Guests from countries that do not have a visa-waiver agreement with the EU will need to apply for a Short-Stay Schengen Visa (Type C) before travelling.
