Visa Details

Public visits to Vatican City normally begin in Rome, so Indian ordinary-passport tourists must first meet Italy's entry rules. The Italian Embassy in New Delhi says a short-stay Schengen visa is normally required for an Indian tourist entering Italy. A visa must cover Italy and the planned dates; a Vatican Museums ticket is a separate admission requirement, not immigration permission. These sources do not establish a universal Vatican-specific visa rule or access to non-public Vatican areas.
