In detail, to enter or re-enter Italy from any foreign country, you need to:
- Fill out the Passenger Locator Form before entering Italy. The document must be shown to the carrier or whoever is in charge of departure checks. If you don’t have adequate technological means, you can download the printed version of the Passenger Locator Form.
- Show the EU Digital COVID Certificate or – for non-EU citizens – an equivalent green COVID-19 certification issued by your country’s health authorities, certifying one of the following: completed vaccination cycle with a vaccine recognized by the European Medicines Agency (EMA); full recovery from COVID-19; negative molecular or antigenic test.
You can find out the conditions of entry into Italy from your country with a couple of clicks at viaggiaresicuri.it You will be asked to indicate:

- Country(ies) you have travelled through in the last 14 days
- Possession of EU citizenship or citizenship of a country in the Schengen Area

At the end of this process, you will be informed if there are any restrictions in place for travel to Italy from your country, the documentation you will have to present and the conditions applied on your arrival.
Those who, upon entry into Italy, do not show this documentation, can still enter but will have to undergo fiduciary quarantine for 5 days at the address specified in the Passenger Locator Form and inform the Department of Health Prevention competent for the area (see the page: COVID-19 Toll-free numbers and regional information). At the end of the 5-day quarantine period, you will need to perform additional molecular or antigenic testing.
