Ryder Cup

Important Travel Information

Nationals of third countries who wish to enter the Schengen Area to attend the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome, Italy, must apply for a Schengen visa for short stays.

In Europe, the term "national of a third country" is commonly used to refer to any person who is not a resident EU citizen and not a person who enjoys the EU right to free movement.

The need is waived for citizens of third countries that have negotiated a visa-free agreement with EU member states. All citizens of the Schengen Area are exempt from visa requirements.
