Introduction
In order to streamline the travel process and ease restrictions for travelers, the Italian government has implemented a new “Green Pass” system. The pass allows those who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, have recovered from the virus, or have a negative test result to travel more freely within the country. Here’s what you need to know about how to get a Green Pass for travel to Italy.
What is a Green Pass?
The Green Pass is a document that allows Italians who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to travel within the country. The pass can also be used to prove that the holder has recovered from the virus.
To get a Green Pass, you will need to show proof of vaccination or recovery from COVID-19. You can get a Green Pass by downloading the app or by going to a participating healthcare provider.
Eligibility for a Green Pass
To be eligible for a Green Pass, you must:
-Be a citizen or legal resident of Italy
-Be aged 14 or over
-Have downloaded the Immuni contact tracing app
-Have a health certificate from the Ministry of Health that states you have either recovered from Covid-19 in the past 180 days or have been vaccinated against it
How to Apply for a Green Pass
If you’re planning to travel to Italy, you may need to apply for a Green Pass. The Green Pass is an electronic document that certifies that the holder has either recovered from COVID-19, or has been vaccinated against the virus.
To apply for a Green Pass, you will need to have a valid ID and proof of either your vaccination or your recovery from COVID-19. You can apply for a Green Pass online or at your local municipality. Once you have applied, you will receive a QR code that you can use to show your status when traveling.
If you are traveling from outside of Italy, you will also need to present a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours of your arrival.
What to Include in Your Application
To apply for a Green Pass, you will need to include the following documents with your application:
-A current passport
-A completed application form
-Two recent passport photographs
-A letter from your employer or educational institution confirming your travel dates and purpose
-Proof of travel insurance
-A self-addressed, stamped envelope for the return of your passport
Supporting Documentation
If you are planning to travel to Italy, you will need to obtain a Green Pass prior to your arrival. The Green Pass is an Italian government-issued document that allows holders to enter the country for specific reasons, including tourism.
In order to obtain a Green Pass, you will need to provide supporting documentation that proves your identity and that you are eligible to travel to Italy. This documentation includes a valid passport, a completed application form, and proof of health insurance. You may also be required to submit additional documentation, such as proof of employment or student status.
Once you have gathered all of the required documentation, you can apply for a Green Pass online or at your nearest Italian consulate. If you are applying online, you will need to create an account and complete the application form. Once your application has been processed, you will receive your Green Pass via email. If you are applying in person, you will need to submit your completed application form and supporting documentation to the consulate. You will then be issued your Green Pass on the spot.
With your Green Pass in hand, you are now ready to travel to Italy! Be sure to keep it with you at all times while in the country, as you may be required to present it upon arrival at airports or other ports of entry.
Fees
To obtain a Green Pass, you will need to pay a €10 application fee. If your application is approved, you will also need to pay a €2 handling fee. These fees can be paid by credit card, bank transfer, or PayPal.
How to Renew Your Green Pass
If you have a valid Green Pass, you may renew it by mail or in person at a regional office. You will need to provide proof of identity, residency, and residency status in Italy. The cost of the Green Pass is €30.00, and it is valid for five years.
What if Your Application is Denied?
You can reapply for a green pass if your initial application is denied. To do so, you must first complete an appeal form, which is available on the Ministry of Health website. After filling out the form, you must submit it to the appeals committee along with any supporting documentation. The appeals committee will review your case and decide whether to approve or deny your request for a green pass.
