Schengen rules apply for travel to Italy: EU/EEA and many Western passport holders can enter visa-free for short business trips, while other nationalities must obtain a Schengen short-stay visa from an Italian consulate or authorised visa centre before travelling to InOut in Rimini.
Processing: Allow at least 15 calendar days from application to decision for a Schengen short-stay visa, and apply earlier during peak spring and summer seasons; confirm current processing times with your local Italian consulate.
Bring a trade-fair invitation or InOut registration confirmation, hotel booking and travel insurance to the visa appointment. Visa-exempt travellers should monitor the EU ETIAS scheme, which is planned to require pre-travel authorisation for visa-free visitors.
