Vatikanstaten: bra att veta före resan
Det viktigaste
- Check Italy’s admission requirements for the journey through Rome.
- Cover shoulders and knees for museum and basilica visits; inappropriate clothing can prevent entry.
Inresa och visum
Tourist access is through Rome, so Italy’s entry and stay rules apply to the journey. Admission to museums and religious sites is separate from immigration permission: use official bookings and follow security checks. No independent Vatican visa entitlement is asserted for any passport group.
Passets giltighet: For travel through Italy, Schengen documents normally need 3 months’ validity after departure and issue within the previous 10 years.
