Travel to Italy 2021: Green Pass or Test
In order to provide the safest possible travel experience, we would recommend that travelers get vaccinated against Covid-19. For the safety of everyone, Italy has issued some requirements and directives for visitors and citizens. There is so much to see and experience while in Italy and vaccination allows freedom of movement to really get the most enjoyment out of your trip.
Effective August 6, 2021, the “Digital Green Certificate/Green Pass” will be necessary to access some locations and participate in certain social activities such as indoor seated dining at restaurants and bars, museums, exhibitions, cultural sites, sporting events, swimming pools, gyms, concerts, fairs, conferences, amusement parks, and other venues.
The Italian Ministry of Health issued an ordinance on July 29, 2021, stating that an Anti-COVID-19 vaccination certificate for a European Medicines Agency (EMA) recognized vaccine from competent U.S. health authorities (CDC “white cards”) will be considered the equivalent of the Italian Green Pass where this requirement exists. Alternatively, you can provide a negative molecular PCR or rapid antigen test result taken within 48 hours before entering a restaurant/museum, etc., or a medical certificate issued by competent US authorities confirming recovery from COVID within the previous 6 months.
For the moment your white card from the CDC showing your Anti-Covid-19 vaccination will substitute for the Digital Green Pass. These regulations may change without notice so we recommend staying up to date as your travel dates approach.
