Italy will accept the UK’s proof of COVID-19 recovery and vaccination record as the equivalent to a green pass. If you are travelling with a printed PDF proof of vaccination status, it must date from 1 November 2021 to ensure that the certificate can be scanned successfully.

If you can demonstrate that you are fully vaccinated

If you travel from the UK and can demonstrate that you are fully vaccinated, you can enter Italy without needing to self-isolate if you also:

• fill in the passenger locator form (EU PLF) before you enter Italy to get a QR code to show to your travel provider and Border Police. You can ask for paper form if you do not have an electronic device
• show evidence of a negative PCR or antigen test, taken within 2 days before entering Italy

If you are not vaccinated, exempt from vaccination or cannot demonstrate that you are fully vaccinated

If you are not fully vaccinated, to enter Italy from the UK you must:

• fill in the passenger locator form (EU PLF) to get a QR code to show to your travel provider and Border Police. You can ask for paper form if you do not have an electronic device
• show evidence of a negative PCR or antigen test, taken within 2 days before entering Italy
• notify the Prevention Department of the local health authority of your entry into Italy
• travel to your final destination in Italy by private transport only
• remain in self-isolation for 5 days
• take another PCR or antigen test at the end of the 5 days’ self-isolation

Exemptions

Exemptions from testing may apply if you are transiting Italy in a private vehicle for less than 36 hours or travelling for proven reasons of work, health or absolute necessity, for less than 120 hours.
