As Italy drops its COVID-19 ‘state of emergency’ and COVID restrictions, travel to Italy is projected to become more convenient starting the 1st of April

As Italy drops its COVID-19 ‘state of emergency’, travel to Italy is said to become more convenient starting the 1st of April.

Prime Minister Mario Draghi announced in a recent report, that after 2 years of strict limitations, Italy aims to reopen everything as soon as possible. All COVID-19 restrictions are to be eliminated. Masks will no longer be mandatory in indoor venues or on public transport starting 1 May. The non-essential travel ban for visitors from outside the EU will be dropped, and all travellers will be subjected to the same rules as the EU travellers.

Prime Minister Draghi also confirmed that the use of the 'green pass' health certificate, proof of vaccination status and proof of recovery(if applicable) at many venues will also be steadily removed.

Fully vaccinated travellers (those who have received one or two doses within the past nine months or those who have received a booster shot) from any country are no longer required to supply a negative COVID test to enter Italy. Which suggests that if you're fully inoculated, you can present either proof of vaccination status or a certificate of recovery from COVID-19 within the past six months, in place of a COVID-19 test. Unvaccinated visitors can also enter Italy and are no longer required to quarantine (previously they had to quarantine for five days). But they will need to produce proof of recovery from COVID within the last 180 days or a negative COVID test.

Regardless of vaccination status, all passengers must fill in a Passenger Locator Form, which can be found here. If they do not, they will have to quarantine for five days on arrival. However, passengers flying to or from Italy must also wear an FFP2 mask at all times while on the aircraft.
