COVID-19: Government continues to ease lockdown, travel restrictions

IMPACT – HIGH

Italy continues to ease domestic travel restrictions as of June 3, though some international travel restrictions remain in force.

Key Points:

• Interregional travel in Italy no longer requires documentation to prove the necessity of travel.
• It is now possible to travel freely to and from EU and Schengen countries, the U.K. and Ireland, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City.
• Until June 15, restrictions remain in place only for travel to and from other countries not listed above, save for documented work reasons, absolute necessity, health needs or to return to one’s place of residence. Those permitted to enter Italy in these circumstances must undergo a 14-day quarantine period.
• Residence permit filing and collection are possible but fingerprinting remain suspended until further notice.

Background: Italy imposed initial restrictions on non-essential business and travel in March and began easing some of these restrictions last month.
