TRAVEL DOCUMENTS:
find out which documents you will need on your next adventure!
When organizing a DIY trip, one of the first things to do is know what documents you will need. Before leaving for a trip abroad, it is essential to find out about the necessary documents to avoid unpleasant surprises that could even prevent you from leaving.
Each state has its own rules, so we've created a guide to help you understand what to bring with you when you travel. Remember that some documents must be requested well in advance.
Se transits through other countries, make sure you also have the necessary documents for the places of stopover. Some countries require additional documents even if you are only stopping over for a short stopover, depending on your country of origin, Furthermore, since the requirements may change, we always recommend that you consult the official website Traveling Safely for updated information.

Main travel documents
- Identity card: for most destinations that are part of the European Community and those of the Schengen area, a valid identity card is sufficient for expatriation and health card in order to receive medical assistance.
- Passport: for most non-European states a passport is required, in many cases a residual validity of at least 6 months is required and sometimes two free pages for affixing visas.
- Tourist visa: Entry visa rules vary from country to country. In some countries it is not required if the stay is short-term (30 to 90 days). If you travel for study or work you will certainly need to apply for the appropriate visa. The request for all types of visa must be made in advance, find out about the time required for issuance. Generally, the visa must be requested at the Embassies, Consulates or online procedure.
- Patent: to drive within the states that are part of the EC, an Italian license is generally sufficient. As regards non-EC states, however, the rules change and it will be necessary to check the specific rules for that country. In some cases you will need an international driving permit.
Remember that the documents must be in good condition, not worn or torn or you may have problems with the local authorities.
All travel documents must be kept carefully and it is absolutely forbidden to lose them. One piece of advice we always give is to make photocopies to put in different backpacks and suitcases so that you always have a copy in case of theft or loss of a bag. A good rule that we use is to have a small shoulder pouch to keep under our clothes where we put our passport, credit cards and things that we absolutely cannot lose.
Always consult the Viaggiare Sicuri website for all the specific information you need about your destination.
