Short answer
Non-EU visitors must declare their presence within 8 working days if they did not get an entry stamp at an Italian border. Learn how and where.
Information, not legal advice. MovItaly is not a law firm. Check with the questura or consulate before you act.
Who is this for
Non-EU citizens who enter Italy from another Schengen country (so without an Italian entry stamp) and stay up to 90 days for tourism or business.
Requirements
- If you arrived directly from outside Schengen at an Italian border, the entry stamp counts as the declaration.
- If you stay in a hotel, the hotel normally files for you.
- If you stay with a private host, you file it yourself.
