Common questions
Travelling on a Italy passport, answered from the same rules listed above.
131, out of the 210 countries covered here. That counts destinations admitting an Italy passport with nothing applied for in advance. It does not count the 26 that issue a visa at the border or the 28 with an e-visa, which are listed separately below.
Albania, Andorra, Angola, Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia and Aruba and 123 more, grouped in the list above by what each one asks for. Every country links to the exact rule, because the stay a visa-free entry allows ranges widely between them.
26 of the 210 listed, including Bahrain, Bangladesh, Burundi, Cambodia, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt and Ethiopia. A visa on arrival is issued at the border, and the fee and documents it requires are checked at the counter rather than corrected there.
28 of the 210 listed, including Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Benin, Bhutan, Burkina Faso, Chad, Cote d'Ivoire and Cuba. An e-visa is applied for and approved online before you travel, with no embassy appointment.
Yes, for Australia, Canada, Israel, Kenya, Mozambique, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Saint Kitts and Nevis. A travel authorisation is not a visa — it is an online pre-screening of travellers who already need no visa — but it must be approved before you board, and an airline will refuse check-in without it.
No, and there is no time limit either. Freedom of movement applies across all 28 Schengen countries in this list, so Italian citizens may enter, stay and work on a valid passport or national identity card — the 90-days-in-180 allowance is for visitors, and it is not counted against you.
