Schengen Region

You are legally allowed to stay in a Schengen country for up to 90 days, without a visa.

However, if you are stuck in the country for more than 90 days then, national authorities may issue a long-stay visa for you to stay in the country until the lockdown ends.

If you overstayed in the country for no reasons, you may be banned from returning to that country, or even to the Schengen area, for a while.

Outside the Schengen Area?

If your permit is valid for less than 2 years: You can stay out of Italy for a maximum of 6 consecutive months. Note: remember that if you hold a permesso per richiesta asilo, cure mediche or calamità, you’re not allowed to travel abroad.

However, these rules do not apply if there are serious and proven reasons that force you to stay out of Italy for a longer period of time than allowed.

This may include the temporary travel restrictions adopted by the country where you are, the communication that your return flight back to Italy was canceled, the email thread with the Italian consulate or embassy showing that you cannot travel back to Italy, etc.

2016 Italy’s Tourism – The Economy’s Most Beneficial Growth Factor

The Italian Tourism industry has grown into the most important growth factor for the country’s economy in 2016. This trend is likely to be steady over the next two years as well. Italy’s GDP is expected to rise by 0.9% this year and tourism by 1.5%. The tourism turnover makes up 171 billion euros, which accounts for 11.8% of the nation’s GDP. This sector alone employs around 3.1 million people, that’s 12.8% of the workforce in Italy.

The positive trend in Italy has not slowed down despite an impaired environment or global competition of increasing supply on an international scale. Arrivals have increased by an approximate 3% in 2016 and are predicted to progress at this rate next year and in 2018 as well.

These statistics were declared in Rome at a conference regarding resources and strategies of Italy’s tourism. The average duration of stay, 3.5 days and the average per day expenditure of 108 euros have increased as well.

At the conference, the tourism industry also presented the strategy for 2017-2022. In lieu of expanding digitalization (duty-free shopping will be digitized from January 1st, 2017 at Italian airports) and infrastructure improvement, the tourism industry’s focal point will be on sharing economy. Currently, it accounts for 15% from the tourism sector.

Nonetheless, this year was not entirely positive for Italy’s tourism. The Vatican’s promoted “Jubilee Year” was no doubt a religious success, but was not an economic one by any means. As per many travel companies, pilgrims could be concerned about likely terrorist attacks throughout the tours.

Rome’s hotel association reported a meagre 1.2% rise in arrivals. The city with the highest increase in tourists (over 4.5%),Milan, not only benefited from the exhibition convened last year…but also benefitted from the expanding trade, business and shopping tourism. Tourism in winter, amid others, is also increasing this year.
