Where can you go on a Italy passport?

The Italian passport offers freedom of movement throughout the European Union and EEA, plus visa-free or eTA-only access to the United States (ESTA), Canada (eTA), the UK, Japan, South Korea, Australia (eVisitor), and most of Latin America and Southeast Asia. Italian citizens are uniquely well-positioned for long-stay options through ius sanguinis citizenship recognition, which simplifies family reunification with descendants of Italian emigrants worldwide. Bilateral working-holiday agreements exist with Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan, and South Korea.

About travel from Italy

Visa requirements for Italy passport holders vary by destination, purpose, and policies that change without notice. We pull from official government sources where possible — embassy and ministry-of-foreign-affairs pages — and surface the date we last verified each requirement, plus a direct link to the primary source on every answer.

For each destination, you'll find tourist, business, transit, work, study, partner/family and diplomatic visa routes (where applicable). Each shows the visa type, maximum stay, typical cost, processing time, and the official application URL.

Important: a valid visa permits entry subject to officer discretion at the border. Always verify with the destination's embassy or consulate before booking travel, accepting employment, or making relocation plans — particularly for long-stay routes (work, study, family) where the consequences of incorrect information are severe.
