Passports and visas

you don’t need a visa to travel to Italy on a British passport from the UK, but your passport should be valid for the duration of your stay;

remember your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) but also take out travel insurance, even if you’re only going for one night - it could save you a lot of money if you get into difficulties;

you must carry ID with you at all times - you’ll need to carry your passport to the match to gain entry to the stadium;

if you lose your passport, you’ll need to get an Emergency Travel Document from the British Consulate-General in Milan or the British Embassy in Rome; you’ll need to supply a police report, flight reservation and one photo; the fee is £100.00

At the match

large amounts of coins, belts with large buckles and heavy cigarette lighters aren’t allowed in the stadium; check with Southampton FC if you need more information about the rules on banners/flags;

arrive at the stadium in good time as entry/security procedures may take some time to complete; at the end of the game you’ll be asked to stay in the stadium for a short time to allow the home supporters’ area to be cleared;

the Italian government has a zero tolerance policy on hooliganism both inside and outside the stadium.

Tips
beware of pickpockets and bag snatchers at airports, railway station (Stazione Ferroviaria), around the town centre and when using public transport; only carry what you need, leave spare cash and valuables in hotel safety deposits;

if you’re travelling in a car, remember to always lock the vehicle and never leave valuables inside; hire cars and foreign registered vehicles are more of a target for thieves.
