Dear Members,


We hope this finds you well. Covid-19 continues to impact our lives and our ability to travel. Continued and enhanced restrictions on travelling to Italy have just been announced (29 April).


The following measures are in effect from 29 April - 15 May 2021:

  *   Travelers from India, Bangladesh, or Sri Lanka: Persons who have been in or traveled through these countries in the previous 14 days may not enter or transit through Italy.

     *   This travel ban does not apply to persons who have no COVID-19 symptoms AND: are Italian citizens with residency in Italy prior to 29 April 2021 OR are officials and representatives of international organizations and diplomatic missions. However, these categories of persons must present negative COVID-19 test results from the 72 hours prior to entering Italy and an additional COVID-19 test must be taken upon arrival. Regardless of the test results, they must then quarantine for a period of 10 days in a "COVID Hotel" or another suitable place as determined by the Civil Protection Department, and take a second COVID-19 test at the end of quarantine.
     *   Persons who are already in Italy and have been in or traveled through these countries in the previous 14 days, even if asymptomatic, must communicate their arrival to regional health authorities, take a COVID-19 test, quarantine for a period of 10 days regardless of the results, and take a second COVID-19 test at the end of quarantine.

Persons in this category must present negative COVID-19 test results from the 48 hours prior to entering Italy and an additional COVID-19 test must be taken upon arrival. Regardless of the test results, they must then quarantine for a period of 10 days  and take a second COVID-19 test at the end of quarantine.
