Important

This information is for general guidance only. Meeting the requirements does not guarantee your application will be approved.

Vatican City charges no entry visa fee, because visitors enter under Italy's rules rather than through a Vatican visa. Any cost of getting to the Vatican relates to your Italy / Schengen entry, not to the Vatican.

Separate charges exist for services such as Vatican Museums admission, and any administrative fees connected with access authorisation, residence or documents are set by the Governorate or issuing office. Because these are not published on an accessible official schedule reviewed here, no figures are stated.
