FAQs
1.Is a transit visa required if I’m just passing through a Schengen country to visit Vatican City?
It depends on your nationality and airport transit situation. If you are transiting through an international airport in a Schengen country (e.g., Italy) without leaving the international transit area, often a transit visa is NOT required for many nationalities. However, some travelers do require an Airport Transit Visa (ATV) if passing through Schengen airports, even if not leaving the transit area.
2. Is travel insurance required for a Schengen visa to visit Vatican City?
Yes, travel insurance with minimum coverage of €30,000 for medical emergencies is mandatory for Schengen visa applications.
