Canadians visiting Italy.

Can fully vaccinated Canadians enter Italy without quarantining?

Hi,

We are scheduled to fly from the US to Rome, travel within Italy to Venice and Sorrento. We are fully vaccinated. Aside from safety our question is: are the museums, restaurants, tours expected to be open or has diminished tourism forced a reduction in available attractions? Has anyone recently returned from Italy and how was the testing/re-entry process? We are scouring the online resources but find fellow travelers' information to be the most helpful. Thank you!

Hi, we are traveling to Italy, Pisa on September 20 and we have one stop for about two hours in London( British Airways). It’s me and my husband fully vaccinated and our 5 year old. Does anyone know if we would have to do Covid-19 test for going to Italy. Also we were thinking to rent a car. Please advise on rental. Any other tips and advice would greatly appreciate. Thank you

We drive frequently to Italy from the UK, obviously we will need to quarantine upon arrival this year but we will have to stop for petrol and provisions on the way to our home. Does anyone know what the guidelines are regarding this ? we have been double vaccinated and will have tested ourselves obviously for the journey.

Some media are reporting the possibility of EU travel ban for US citizens.

We are scheduled to travel to Italy on 19 Aug from USA.

How likely do you think it is that Italy will ban US visitors by then? Do you think that fully vaccinated visitors from US would be allowed, or is it likely to be a complete ban for all?

I know that no one knows at this point, so I am just asking for speculation.

Hello. We are planning our trip next summer, which will be based in Italy since our daughter already has a school trip scheduled there.

We're planning to spend about 12 days in Italy, ending in Venice. We have 5-6 more days to play with, and were debating between going to Switzerland for the first time, or going to Milan/Lake Cuomo (also for the first time).

I'm hesitating to add the Switzerland portion onto our trip, out of concerns that it might complicate our travel next summer for Covid-related reasons. I'm worried about things like a difference in entry requirements, extra testing requirements, etc. We are all four fully vaccinated, but who knows what the rules will be concerning that by June 2022?

Since nobody has a crystal ball, I was hoping someone could at least talk about how easy it was to travel between Italy and Switzerland this summer (for vaccinated Americans, if that is relevant).

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give. :)

From what I have read on the embassy sites, a vaccinated US citizen can travel to Italy, I see "Last updated: 05/25/2021 Travelers departing on COVID-tested international flights between the United States and Italy are not currently subject to quarantine upon arrival in Italy. I see the same thing for Greece. But once I've traveled from the USA to Italy and then from Italy to Greece, will Greece have an issue with me because I am not flying direct to Greece? I look forward to any comments/feedback, thanks

Hi,

Hoping for some guidance please, we are set to travel to Italy from UK to holiday on our friends privately owned yacht at sea so will only be transiting through Italy on Arrival and then when leaving, as will be at sea the rest of the time. We are both vaccinated and will be doing the required passenger locator/ PCR test prior to arrival.

My question is though, do we have to do the initial 5 day quarantine if we are not going to be on land and won't have an address, and not sure who to contact is its not a charter boat but privately owned by our friends.

I have seen mixed information, however here it says-

https://www.silverstaryachting.com/en/travel-information-italy/

The green pass will be made available to visitors who are fully vaccinated with an EU-approved vaccine, those who have recently recovered from COVID-19, or individuals who have tested negative 48 hours prior to entry in Italy. The green pass grants visitors exemptions to current restrictions such as obligatory quarantine upon arrival or limitations on traveling in between certain regions whilst on a private yacht charter in Italy.

Anyone got any idea or know who best to contact?

Thanks All

If I was to hypothetically go to Mexico and fly back a few days before my flight to Italy on a "COVID Tested" flight, will I run into issues? On their form, I would have to note that I have been to Mexico in the last 14 days prior. I am contemplating dates for both, though I'll certainly cancel Mexico for Italy.

I can't figure out how this restriction would work or if it would interfere with my ability to travel to Italy.

(Fully vaccinated here.)

Hello,

I am a fully vaccinated American, I arrived in Milan from the US on August 31, and have been in Italy since.

I am traveling to Sardinia (via plane) on September 4. When I booked these flights, I was aware that all I needed to show was my equivalent of the Green Pass. However, now, there are new regulations for vaccinated Americans needing to show a recent negative tests if they have been in the US within the past 14 days. I know this applies to Americans entering Italy from overseas, but does it apply to Americans who have only been in Italy for less than 14 days?

I know I do not need to fill out a new passenger locator form, but I am confused about the test.

I can't seem to find that information anywhere.

If anyone has any information on this, it would be much appreciated!
