“Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life” –the theme of Expo 2015, set to place in Milan from May 1 to October 31. The venue is located just northwest of the city of Milan and occupies 110 acres of land. Whether you are traveling from within or outside of the EU, or are an EU citizen or not, we’ve compiled some important information you’ll need to get there.

Italian Immigration

Some non-EU passport holders are allowed to enter and remain in the European Union for up to three months without a visa. It’s important to check whether your nationality is included in this category prior to your trip. For more information see http://ec.europa.eu/

EU passengers:

A Passport or EU country ID allow for a stay of up to 90 days without visa.
An extension of stay is possible for visa exempt visitors.

New European regulation for extra-communitarian operator regulation (EU 452/2014)

Operators must apply to the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for a TCO authorization process before the end of the transition period. The transition period runs from May 26, 2015 to November 26, 2016.

EU member states reserve the right to deny the issuance of operating permits to operators who cannot prove they’ve applied to EASA for a TCO authorization.
