Suspension of the free movement ordinary regime within the Schengen Area

On the occasion of the G7 Summit in Taormina (26-27 May 2017) controls at the internal borders of the Schengen Area will be temporarily reactivated at the Italian terrestrial, aerial and maritime borders. The suspension of the free-movement ordinary regime within the Schengen Area will be applied according to Art. 25 of Schengen Borders Code (Regulation (EU) 2016/399) and in line with the practice applied in similar events. The reactivation will be in place from 10 May 2017, 00:00 hours to 30 May 2017, 24:00 hours and could have a considerable impact on travel times for third states citizens entering the Schengen Area from another member state and then wishing to enter Italy.
