Should I enter Italy with an Italian passport?

Should I enter Italy with an Italian passport? - View of grand canal and old cathedral of Santa Maria della Salute in Venice in Italy on early calm morning

I have Italian citizenship but don't have an Italian passport. I am going to go to Italy next summer for a few weeks. I am British. Is it okay to enter Italy on a foreign passport (especially an EU passport, for now) if you are an Italian citizen?

I am going to get a passport when the UK leaves the EU for easier travel to Europe but until then I don't see the point, unless I'll get in trouble at the Italian border control.



Best Answer

I don't see the problem. If you have a British passport that's it.

You don't need anything else to travel from UK to Italy.

It doesn't matter if you have italian citizenship or not, border police doesn't care as long as you have your British passport. (an italian ID card is a plus, but not required)
