ICS will continue to monitor the status of the global COVID-19 pandemic and the public health and safety regulations on the ground in Italy. These regulations are subject to change. We will notify enrollees as soon as possible of any changes that may arise as they pertain to the possibility of international travel to and from the program.

Participants are also responsible for determining and submitting on their own behalf whatever documentation may be required for entry by the European Union and/or government of Italy, depending on the participant's own nationality, country of residence, reasons for visit, and length of stay. Please make sure you have a passport that is valid for at least three months after the length of your stay in Italy. We suggest visiting the Italian Visa Requirements website to determine what, if any, additional documentation you may need.

It is currently scheduled to be implemented in 2025, so please check the requirements listed on the ETIAS website for your travel based on your country of travel origin.
