What Raahi used, when it was last refreshed, and what it cannot promise
Source data supports Raahi’s recommendations; it does not replace the destination’s immigration authority, airline or live booking provider.
Raahi presents visa and entry information for the Indian passport compiled from public datasets. This is general information for planning, not legal or immigration advice.
Visa rules, fees, and processing times change frequently and without notice, and the underlying data can be outdated, incomplete, or wrong. Requirements also depend on your specific situation — purpose of travel, length of stay, past travel history, and connecting/transit countries.
Before you book or travel, always confirmwith the destination country's official embassy, consulate, or immigration website, and with your airline. Raahi holds no responsibility for travel decisions made using this information.
Eligibility & documents
⚠ Requirements, fees & processing times vary — always confirm on the official route, and beware lookalike agent sites.
Simplest — keep your number. Activate an international-roaming pack before you leave India (activating abroad is costlier).
Carrier names are a guide; check current tourist plans and coverage before you buy.
Visa/Mastercard are widely accepted, but your normal card adds ~3.5% forex markup plus ATM fees — a forex card avoids both. See Pay like home above for UPI/RuPay where it works.
Under RBI’s LRS you can carry forex within limits; large forex loads attract TCS — check current rules & rates before you buy.

Official advisory · Italy
Updated 14 Jul 2026There is a high risk of wildfires during the summer in Italy as temperatures continue to soar. For advice, visit the wildfires section on the Safety and security page.
Full UK FCDO adviceThe ideal time to visit Italy is late May through early September, especially June, September, or October, when daytime highs are comfortably warm, lows are mild, rainfall is low, and comfort scores reach their peak of 99–100/100.
Best window
Late May – Early September
Shoulder tip
Enjoy late April or early November for great comfort (78–83/100) but with fewer crowds than the midsummer peak.
Maybe skip
Avoid December to February when temperatures dip below 12°C, nights hover around 0–3°C, and rainfall is moderate (95–100 mm) reducing overall comfort; also stay clear of July and August’s high temperatures (32 °C/18 °C) to avoid the hottest, busiest summer period.

Italy can feel surprisingly welcoming to Indian travellers thanks to its strong Catholic culture that values family gatherings and festive meals, though daily life moves at a slower, more formal pace than most Indian cities. You will rarely feel out of place in piazzas filled with people lingering over coffee or in markets bustling with fresh produce and spices.
Indian community
A large, long-established Indian community is concentrated in Rome, Milan, and Turin, with smaller groups in Bologna and Florence.
Veg / Jain food
Vegetarian food is widely available, especially in the north, though Jain-specific options are rare outside major cities.
Indian food
Look for Indian grocery stores and halal butchers in Rome's Esquilino district and Milan's Via Paolo Sarpi, and you'll find Punjabi and Gujarati restaurants in most city centres.
Places of worship
Hindu and Sikh temples exist in Rome and Milan, and you'll find mosques in most major cities alongside the ubiquitous Catholic churches.
Italy is generally safe for tourists, but pickpocketing is common in crowded cities and on public transport.
