Italy

Discover Rome's ancient ruins, Venice's canals, and Tuscany's vineyards. Italy is a Schengen member requiring EU/EEA citizens only ID cards. Non-EU visitors may need Schengen visa for stays up to 90 days per 180-day period.

Australian passport holders can enter Italy and the Schengen Area visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period for tourism, business, or family visits. Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen zone and must have been issued within the last 10 years. Carry proof of return travel, accommodation arrangements, travel insurance with minimum €30,000 medical coverage, and evidence of sufficient funds (approximately €45-50 per day). Important: the 90-day limit applies to the ENTIRE Schengen Area cumulatively — time spent in any Schengen country counts toward the total. No arrival card is required.
