Upon entering Italy or the Schengen Area, a foreigner must be carrying
adequate finances to last the duration of the visit. According to
Common Consular Instructions the availability of means of subsistence
is one of the most important conditions when entering the Schengen

policy guarantees or equivalent credit instruments, vouchers for
prepaid services or other documents demonstrating access to sources of
