Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after the date of entry into the territory.

Visa waiver
Italian, French, German, Spanish and English nationals are exempt from visa requirements for stays up to 15 days (including entry and exit days). This visa waiver is only valid for a single entry visa. The passport must be valid 6 months after the planned exit. It is also necessary to present proof of exit from the country (return air ticket).
