Ministry of Health (MOH) Public Health Advisory Please refer to the  ICA website for updates on the latest precautionary measures implemented to further reduce the risk of importation of COVID-19 to Singapore. These include travel advisories and further restrictions on travellers coming into Singapore. 

In view of the COVID-19 situation, travellers visiting Italy should be prepared for updates to entry requirements. Please visit the Official Travel Information website of the Ministry of Health of Italy ( https://www.salute.gov.it/ portale/nuovocoronavirus/dettaglioContenutiNuovocoronavirus.jsp?lingua=english&id=5412&area=nuovoCoronavirus&menu=vuoto ) for the latest information.

Entry and Exit

Singaporeans can visit Italy for up to 90 days within 180 days from the date of initial entry within the Schengen region without a visa, provided no employment is pursued.

Italy is part of the Schengen area. Entry into any of the 26 European countries in the Schengen area for short-term tourism, a business trip, or in transit to a non-Schengen destination, requires a minimum three months’ passport validity beyond the intended date of departure. Singaporeans should have their passports with them when crossing borders, even within the Schengen area.

As immigration requirements can change at short notice, travellers are advised to contact their travel agent or the Embassy of Italy in Singapore ( https://ambsingapore.esteri.it/it/ ) for the latest information.

Safety and Security

Petty Crime: Foreigners are targets for pickpockets and thieves, especially in tourist areas and larger cities. Teams may work together to distract travellers. Thefts are also known to take place on trains and public transport when travellers are distracted or sleeping. Be aware of your surroundings and take care of your belongings.  Italy lies across several major earthquake faultlines and earthquakes are frequent. It also has several active volcanos. Information on crisis preparedness and ongoing crises can be accessed at the Italian Civil Protection website ( www.protezionecivile.gov.it/jcms/en/rischi.wp ).

It is illegal to purchase counterfeit items such as sunglasses, bags, and purses from street vendors. If in doubt, purchase branded items from reputable stores instead. If a price is too good to be true, it probably is. 

Additional Information

Strikes can occur at short notice and may disrupt land, rail, and air transport. Check for transport schedule changes regularly and plan alternative arrangements in advance. Purchase comprehensive travel insurance before departure. 

General Travel Advice

Overseas Travel – Be Informed & Be Safe [Updated on 5 February 2024]

Singaporeans planning overseas travel are reminded to take the necessary precautions, including being prepared to deal with accidents, natural disasters or terrorist attacks. Singaporeans are also reminded to be familiar with your destination’s local laws, customs, and COVID-19 regulations.

Demonstrations do occur in major cities across the world. Such demonstrations can sometimes escalate into violence. It is important for Singaporeans to keep abreast of local news, avoid any protests or demonstrations and heed the advice of the local authorities.

When participating in outdoor leisure activities overseas, Singaporeans should be mindful that certain sporting activities, especially in open seas, may carry risks. Besides ensuring that one has the physical competencies and appropriate condition to undertake the activity, every effort should be made to ascertain if the trip organiser or guide is reliable and competent, and that appropriate safety and contingency plans are in place. When in doubt, Singaporeans should consult the relevant professional bodies or sporting associations for specific advice.

For those planning to travel, here are some tips:

Before travelling

• Familiarise yourself with our network of overseas missions.
• Purchase comprehensive travel insurance and be familiar with the terms and coverage.
• Equip yourself with research about your destination’s entry requirements, current situation, local laws and customs.
• eRegister with us on our website ( www.mfa.gov.sg ) so that we may reach out to you during an emergency.

While travelling

• Always take care of your personal safety, remain vigilant and monitor local weather news, advisories, and security developments.
• Exercise caution around large gatherings and avoid locations known for demonstrations or disturbances.
• Be prepared for possible delays and last-minute changes in travel plans especially during unforeseen events such as natural disasters, social unrest or terror attacks.
• Stay connected with your friends and family. Inform them of your whereabouts and provide them with your overseas contact details.
• In the event that you require consular assistance, please contact the nearest Singapore Overseas Mission or call the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Duty Office at +65 6379 8800/+65 6379 8855.

Advisory: Email Scams

There have been reports of individuals receiving scam emails/messages purportedly sent from friends in distress overseas. These emails/messages typically originate from an email address/social media known to the receiver bearing claims of the sender getting into trouble overseas and urgently requesting financial assistance. The sender would also claim to have approached a Singapore Embassy/Consulate and the local Police for help to no avail.

MFA takes the safety of all Singaporeans very seriously.  Singaporeans in distress approaching our Overseas Missions for assistance will be rendered with all necessary consular assistance.  If you receive such emails/messages from purported friends seeking funds transfers, we strongly advise you to call them first to verify the authenticity of the emails/messages before responding to their request.  It is also not advisable to give out any personal information such as NRIC/passport numbers, address, telephone number, etc.  Any form of reply, even one of non-interest, could result in more unsolicited emails.  Members of the public who suspect that they have fallen prey to such scams should report the matter to the Police immediately.  Should Singaporeans abroad require consular assistance, they can contact the nearest Singapore Overseas  Mission  or call the Ministry of Foreign Affairs 24-hr Duty Office at +65 6379 8800/+65 6379 8855.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a ministry of the Government of Singapore responsible for conducting and managing diplomatic relations between Singapore and other countries and regions.

Requirements for Singaporeans

From 2025 , citizens from Singapore must get ETIAS visa waiver to enter Italy and the Schengen area.

The goal of the ETIAS, European Travel Information and Authorisation System , is to add an extra layer of security to countries in the Schengen zone.

Singaporeans can easily apply for ETIAS from an internet-connected device.

Getting the ETIAS waiver is quick and easy . Most applicants are expected to get their application approved minutes after submission.

This article includes all the information that travellers need to know before they apply for an ETIAS to visit Italy , including the document requirements, how to apply, and more.

ETIAS Requirements for Singaporean citizens

There are only a few ETIAS Italy requirements for Singaporeans – they are listed below:

• A current Singaporean passport
• A valid form of payment, such as a debit or credit card
• A valid email address that applicants constantly check

After applicants have gathered all the items mentioned above, it is time to start an online application. The ETIAS application can be filled out using any device with internet access , such as a laptop, computer, tablet, or smartphone.

The application is straightforward and asks applicants to enter their personal information (full name, contact information, passport details), and answer a few security questions.

Its approval is usually within minutes after submitting the form. However, in rare cases, it may take up to 72 hours. If the application is rejected , applicants have the chance to appeal the ETIAS officer’s decision by providing a statement and additional documents.

Singaporean citizens who are minors (under 18 years old) must apply separately. If the minor’s parent helps them fill out the application, the parent must include their own information as well.

Personal information for the ETIAS Italy

Singaporeans travelling to Italy must apply for ETIAS beforehand. They can do so by starting an online application.

During the online application, travellers will be asked to submit the following:

• First and last name
• Date and place of birth
• Passport number
• Passport issue date
• Passport expiration date
• Nationality
• Contact information (home address and email)

Applicants must also mention the first Schengen country that they will arrive in (Italy or otherwise). Travellers can stay in the Schengen Zone for up to 90 days within a 180-period .

What documents do I need for the ETIAS Italy?

The most important document required during the process of applying for an ETIAS is the traveller’s Singapore passport. Each traveller must verify their passport’s validity before starting an application . The travel document must be valid for at least 3 months beyond the expected date of departure from the Schengen area.

If the passport with a valid ETIAS attached to it expires, its electronic authorisation is no longer valid. Once they have a new passport, they may get a new ETIAS. Travel authorisations can never be extended as they are always electronically linked to a viable passport.

Medical info for Singaporean citizens

Singaporean travellers will be pleased to know that they do not require any additional vaccines to visit Italy or the other Schengen countries. However, we recommend checking up on the news in order to stay on top of health warnings and other travel advisories. We also recommend that Singaporean travellers buy travel health insurance before they leave the country. In case of an emergency, this insurance will help cover health-related costs that were incurred while visiting the country.

If a traveller is involved in an emergency while in Italy and needs to contact emergency services, their phone number is 112 in Italy.

ETIAS Italy to smooth arrivals from Singapore

The ETIAS system is being developed for several reasons. One of them is being up-to-date with modern technology. ETIAS is likely to contribute to better arrival experiences when coming from Singapore.

Furthermore, the electronic authorisation would contribute to smoother border checks, as each traveller will have been pre-screened before boarding .

Additionally, ETIAS allows authorities to identify if there are people who are trying to enter the region using stolen passports or if they have a criminal record.

Italy ETIAS for Singaporean citizens

For Singaporean citizens planning a trip to Italy, the upcoming Italy ETIAS will soon be an essential part of your travel itinerary.

With the introduction of the Italy ETIAS, there's a new element to consider in your journey to Italy. Our goal is to make this process stress-free for you. We take on the technicalities, so your focus can stay on the exciting aspects of your trip.

Get ready to immerse yourself in Italy's rich culture. Imagine wandering through the bustling streets of Milan, marveling at the artistic masterpieces in Florence, or soaking up the sun on the beaches of Sicily. With our help, we can make your Italian adventure as enjoyable as possible.

Do Singaporean citizens need an Italy ETIAS?

Singaporean citizens currently enjoy the privilege of visa-free entry into Italy and various other European countries, adding ease to their travel experiences.

However, a notable change is coming. From mid-2025, Singaporean travelers will need to apply for an Italy ETIAS for short stays in Italy, whether for tourism, business, or transit.

The European Travel Information and Authorization System, known as the ETIAS, was first made public in 2016. The primary purpose of the ETIAS is to reinforce security within the Schengen Area. Until this change, Singaporeans, along with travelers from other visa-exempt countries, could enter these regions using just their passports. The ETIAS introduces a necessary pre-travel check to boost safety for everyone.

It's important to clarify that the ETIAS is not a visa . It's a travel authorization, just like the US ESTA and the Canada eTA , designed to uphold security while facilitating simpler travel.

A key advantage of the Italy ETIAS is its wide-ranging use. With one ETIAS authorization, Singaporean citizens can visit all participating ETIAS countries. This is particularly handy for those who plan to explore several European countries, as it makes travel planning much simpler. The ETIAS stands as your all-in-one pass for a variety of European adventures.

For a visual guide to the countries you can visit with the Italy ETIAS, check out this map:
