UK tourists have been issued a warning over new entry requirements at Italy hotels. European Union holidaymakers have been given a Italy travel warning as new requirements are introduced for hotel check-ins in the popular destination.
The latest update concerns travellers aged 17 and under. Those aged 17 and under cannot check into hotels or holiday accommodation without an accompanying adult. But British children travelling without their parents or guardians do not require any special authorisation, even if they are residents of Italy.
“Travelling with people aged 17 and under If you are aged 17 or under, you cannot check into hotels or holiday accommodations without an accompanying adult,” the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) cautioned. “British people aged 17 and under travelling without their parents or guardians do not need any authorisation stamped by the Embassy, even if they are resident in Italy.

“Only Italian children travelling without parents or guardians need such a document stamped by the local police. See further advice on travelling abroad with people aged 17 and under, or travelling to the UK with people aged 17 and under.”
The FCDO added: “To stay longer, you must meet the Italian government’s entry requirements. Check which type of visa or work permit you need with the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You’ll need to apply and then book an appointment.
“If you’re in Italy with a residence permit or long-stay visa, this does not count towards your 90-day visa-free limit.” Europe’s Schengen Area is about to move to a digital customs system, which will eliminate the need to physically stamp passports. Passport stamps can serve as physical mementos documenting all the places we have been.
Soon, most of your European passport stamps will be a relic of the past, the Foreign Office has previously detailed to tourists.
