As Italy prepares to extend the public spaces where a so-called ‘green pass’ is required, the government has given its first indications about how visitors from non-EU countries can access the scheme. Travellers from any country in the EU or Schengen Zone can already use their national certificates in Italy as they would at home. 

In its latest ordinance of July 29th, the Italian Health Ministry confirmed that documents issued by health authorities in any of the following countries would also be accepted in Italy: Canada, Israel, Japan, United States of America. Certificates can be shown in digital or paper format, the Ministry said, without giving further details.
