Earlier this year, the Italian government announced strict travel restrictions in an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus. These restrictions included a nationwide lockdown, bans on non-essential travel, and closure of Italy’s borders. Recently, however, the Italian government has started to lift some of these restrictions. Italians are now allowed to travel within their own regions, and some businesses, such as restaurants and shops, have reopened. Travel from other countries is still restricted, but the Italian government is slowly beginning to loosen these restrictions as well.
Yes, Italy has lifted travel restrictions for visitors from certain countries.
Have Italy lifted COVID restrictions?
With the abolition of the non-essential travel ban, travellers from non-European countries can now enter Italy for travel purposes under facilitated rules. This includes the pre-entry testing requirement, which was put in place to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
As of 1 June 2022, the Covid-19 green certification is no longer required for entry into Italy from EU and non-EU countries.

Are there any Covid restrictions in Italy
If you are planning to visit a healthcare facility, please check with the local health authority or healthcare facility beforehand to see if you are required to provide a negative test result. A negative test result can be from either a rapid antigen test taken within the previous 48 hours, or a PCR test taken within the previous 72 hours. Self-tests are not accepted.
The quarantine requirement for unvaccinated individuals no longer exists as everyone is now able to enter Italy. This is a great development as it allows more people to travel to the country and enjoy all that it has to offer.
Is Italy open for American tourists?
There are no specific entry requirements for US citizens traveling to Italy for tourism purposes. However, all visitors must have a valid passport and may need to obtain a visa depending on their length of stay. All travelers should check with the Italian Embassy or Consulate prior to their trip for the most up-to-date information.
From what I can tell, it seems that wearing face masks is required in some public places in Italy. For some cases, FFP2 or KN95 masks are required. I’m not entirely sure what the guidelines are, but it’s probably best to err on the side of caution and wear a mask if you’re planning on being in any public spaces.
Do US citizens need a Covid test to return to us from Italy?
If you are planning to travel to the United States, you will need to get a negative COVID-19 test result no more than 2 days before your flight. If you have documented recovery from COVID-19 in the past 90 days, you will not need to take the test. Children under 2 years old do not need to be tested.
If you are planning on flying to the United States, you will need to present a paper or digital copy of your negative COVID-19 test results. This is to ensure that you are not carrying the virus and posing a risk to others. You may also be requested to show your test results to public health officials after you arrive in the US.
Do US citizens need green pass in Italy
As of June 1, 2022, the Italian government no longer requires a green pass for entry into the country. All travelers will need to have a valid passport and a negative COVID-19 test result taken within 48 hours of arrival. For more information, please visit the Italian Ministry of Health website.
You are allowed to bring home the following items: baked goods, cheeses (so long as they are not soft or spreadable), tinned pâté, candy, roasted coffee beans, dried tea, mushrooms, and packaged fish.
Will COVID vaccine be mandatory for international travel?
The White House has announced that starting on November 8, 2021, all international travelers coming into the United States will be required to have received a vaccine approved by either the FDA or WHO in order to be allowed entry. This mandate is designed to help protect Americans from the spread of potentially deadly diseases, and will help ensure that only those who have been vaccinated are allowed into the country. This is a major shift in policy, and will likely have a significant impact on travel both into and out of the United States.
If you have symptoms of COVID-19 and you are in one of the following high-risk categories, you may be eligible for a PCR test:
-age 55 or older
-have not had a COVID-19 vaccine booster dose
-have a high-risk medical condition
-have a weak immune system (immunocompromised)
Do you have to have a negative Covid test to return to us from the US Virgin Islands
As of October 1st, all travelers to the Northern Territory (Australia) are required to provide evidence of a negative COVID-19 antigen or PCR test result taken within five days of commencement of travel.

US citizens may enter Italy for up to 90 days for tourist or business purposes without a visa. All non-residents are required to complete a declaration of presence (dichiarazione di presenza).
Is Italy a safe place to travel?
Italy is a popular tourist destination for many reasons, and safety is one of them. Violent crime is rare, and tourists are unlikely to encounter anything more serious than petty crime. This makes Italy a great choice for a safe and enjoyable vacation.
If you are an American and you want to live in Italy, you need to apply for a visa at an Italian consulate. This visa will allow you to stay in Italy for more than three months and gain resident status.
