Entry Requirement
Citizens from other EU countries
need only their valid identity cards
or passports in order to enter
Italy. They are, however, required
to register with a questura (police
station) if they take up residence
and obtain a permesso di soggiorno
(permission to remain for a
nominated period). Visas are not
required by travelers who are
citizens of the United States,
Canada, Australia, New Zealand,
Britain, Switzerland and Japan for
visits of less than 3 months. In
order to extend the stay for the
U.S. citizens, a ninety-day
extension permit can be applied for
at the police station (once and
only) given that a proof of funds is
produced. Permission is usually
granted immediately.
Registration for Tourists
The formality of registering with
the police within 3 days of a
tourist's arrival in Italy is
attended to by the hotels one stays
at. If staying with friends in a
private home, the visitor has to
register in person at the nearest
police station within a 3-day
period. In Rome there is a special
police informaion office to assist
tourists. Telephone: 461-950 or
486-609.
