Dutch passport holders enter Italy freely as EU citizens. No visa, no time limit on stays. Bring your Dutch passport or national ID card. Italy is in both the EU and the Schengen area, so flights from the Netherlands are intra-Schengen with no passport control on arrival. Carry your ID for airline boarding and hotel check-in (Italian hotels are required by law to record guest ID details).
For stays beyond 3 months, register at the local Anagrafe (civil registry office) within 20 days to obtain a certificato di residenza. You need proof of employment, study enrollment, or sufficient funds (no fixed threshold for EU citizens). EU citizens can live and work in Italy without a work permit. Italy's bureaucracy can be slower than what you're used to in the Netherlands, so bring patience and all documents in duplicate.
