• Only those who plan on travelling to Italy for work, health, and study-related reasons will be eligible to enter the country

The Italian authorities have announced that travellers from Brazil, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka reaching the country for essential purposes are no longer banned since these countries have been  moved to List E.   

“Since October 26, this order by the Ministry of Health has abolished the special restrictions previously applying to arrivals from Brazil, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, which have since been included in list E and are therefore subject to the rules applying to those countries,” the statement of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation reads.   
Accordingly, based on the new rules, since October 26, travellers reaching Italy from the four countries mentioned above are not required to provide authorisation from the Ministry of Health in order to be permitted entry to the country.   

However, it has been announced that only those who plan on travelling to Italy for work, health, and study-related reasons will be eligible to enter the country. In addition, those who need to enter Italy for other essential purposes are also allowed entry.
