As of 1 March 2022 the measures laid down in the previous Ordinances issued by the Ministry of Health no longer apply. Italy’s borders are now open to international visitors and the restrictions have been eased.
The Ordinance establishes the same rules for arrivals to Italy from all non-European countries as those already in force for European countries. For entry to the national territory, one of the conditions of the Green Pass will be sufficient: certificate of vaccination, certificate of recovery or negative test result.
In particular, the Country lists are eliminated and the rules regulating entry into the national territory are now standardized. Entry into Italy shall be authorized upon the submission of:
– the Passenger Locator Form (PLF) in digital of paper format;
– the Covid-19 Vaccine Passport (vaccination certificate, recovery certificate or negative molecular or antigen test) or any other equivalent vaccination certificate recognized (certificates can be shown digitally or on paper).
Only in case of failure to submit one of the above certifications, shall the traveller be submitted to a 5-day quarantine and obliged to take a molecular or antigen test at the end of this period.
Recognised the equivalence of several vaccines administered by foreign health authorities to those carried out under the National Vaccine Plan for the Prevention of SARS-CoV-2:
- Vaccines recognised by EMA – European Medicines Agency (see country/vaccine list here)
- Covishield (Serum Institute of India), manufactured under license from AstraZeneca
- R-CoVI (R-Pharm), manufactured under licence from AstraZeneca;
