Question

¿Do you need a passport to enter the Vatican from Rome or to re-enter Rome from the Vatican?

Answer 1

No. You don't. Although the Holy See is considered a sovereign nation, there are no border controls, nor any visible border to speak of.

Answer 2

Good question!! Dont think so though!

Answer 3

No, but you must bribe the Swiss Guards on both occasions.

Answer 4

No but you must know someone to enter in Vatican, otherwise you can only visit the museum and the church.

Answer 5

no. But take your passport with you, do not leave it at the hotel.

It may  be stolen at the hotel, or your might be stopped on the streets to check your ID. When abroad, always carry it with you.

Answer 6

no Neither.

Answer 7

No.  It is really just part of Rome.  Just take the Metro and walk right in.  It is really worth the trip.

In their answers, certain people have stated that you should always carry your passport on you.  I don't agree with this.  Keep your passport in the hotel safe-deposit box, and carry a photocopy with you.  But I have never been stopped for my passport in my life while walking through a foreign city and I have been to some pretty wacky places.

Answer 8

No, Victor leave your passport at the hotel.

Answer 9

There are no formalities required to enter the Vatican City, but entry will always be via Rome, and Italian regulations must therefore be complied with (see Passport/Visa in the Italy section).

There is free access only to certain areas of the Vatican City; these include St Peter's Church, St Peter's Square, the Vatican Museum and the Vatican Gardens. Special permission is required to visit areas other than those mentioned.

Answer 10

No :)))

Answer 11

Guessing you dont live there and already have a passport and will be carrying your passport on your person while in a foriegn country, they'll let you know when you arrive or depart the Vatican if you need to present it.  ÃƒÂ‚¿<funny>¿

Answer 12

No!Don't worry!

Answer 13

No you don't - just into Italy

Answer 14

absolutly not

Answer 15

No, but take note that there is a strict dress code for St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Museums.   Women must cover their shoulders and knees and men must wear full length pants.  There is actually a fashion check-point and if you are not dressed accordingly the Vatican staff will refuse entry.   Please keep this in mind when planning your tour to the Vatican. 

Answer 16

No! In reality the Vatican is in Rome. However, after the State and Church separation, they needed to give the church some status, that is why the Vatican was declared as a separate state.
