Visa & Entry

Spanish passport holders enter Italy with no formalities at all. Both countries are EU and Schengen members. There are no border checks on flights between them. A valid Spanish national ID card or passport works for identification. No visa, no registration for short visits.

If you stay in Italy longer than 3 months, you must register at the local Anagrafe (registry office) of your comune (municipality). This is a straightforward process: bring your passport or ID, proof of address, and evidence of employment, study, or funds. You receive a certificato di residenza. Italy also requires a codice fiscale (tax code) for most transactions. Get one free at any Agenzia delle Entrate office with your passport. The process takes 10 minutes.
