Italy is in the Schengen area. Visa-waiver nationals (UK, US, Canada, Australia, Japan, Brazil and others) can enter for up to 90 days in any 180-day period with no visa — an ETIAS pre-travel authorisation is expected to apply to these travellers during 2026–2027. Nationals of non-waiver countries (e.g. India, China, Turkey, Russia, most of Africa and the Middle East) need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa: EUR 90 adult fee (EUR 45 for children 6–12), typically issued in ~15 calendar days (up to 45 in peak periods), so apply 6–8 weeks before the 23 January 2027 opening. Carry a passport valid at least 3 months beyond departure and, for exhibitors, an ATA carnet for temporary import of show goods.
Estimated cost: Varies by visa type and nationality (check official site).
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
