Lifting of National Movement Restrictions

Tourists' entry into Italy, which was suspended due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), will be possible from the 3rd of next month. According to local media on the 16th (local time), the Italian government approved an administrative order through a cabinet meeting on the same day, focusing on reopening borders and completely lifting domestic travel restrictions.


First, the Italian government will reopen the borders, which were temporarily closed due to the spread of COVID-19, from the 3rd of next month. Accordingly, tourists coming from the European Union (EU) countries that are part of the Schengen Agreement will be able to enter Italy without a 14-day quarantine period.



Travel restrictions imposed on Italian citizens will also be completely lifted on the 3rd of next month. This administrative order is analyzed to reflect a policy intention to reactivate tourism ahead of the summer vacation season, based on the judgment that the momentum of COVID-19 has subsided.
