US travel advisory: Italy — Level 2 (Exercise Increased Caution)

INFO

The US State Department publishes these advisories for your route. Italy: Level 2 — Exercise Increased Caution (as of 2025-05-23). Review the country page for the specific areas and risks flagged before you go. This is a US State Department safety perspective, not an entry or boarding rule — it doesn't affect whether you can board, only what to be aware of on the ground. Travellers from other countries should also check their own government's advisory.

ETIAS is coming for Schengen entry — heads-up

INFO

The EU is introducing ETIAS, a pre-travel authorisation for visa-exempt visitors to the Schengen Area (like the US ESTA) (about €20), valid 3 years. It is NOT required yet — expected to start around Q4 2026, phased toward 2027 (after a transitional period of at least 6 months). Dates have slipped before, so confirm the current status at the official portal: https://travel-europe.europa.eu/etias_en. Once live you'll need it before boarding on a visa-exempt passport. If you also hold an EU/EEA/Swiss passport, entering on that avoids ETIAS entirely.
