Vatican drone laws and rules

Recreational vs commercial drone use in Vatican


Vatican does not differentiate commercial & recreational drone use - see our post to differentiate recreational vs commercial drone usage. Both are subject to the strictest restrictions & a code of conduct.


🚨 For the moment, the use of drones is restricted. Drone regulation is delegated to the responsibility of the Italian Civil Aviation Authority (ENAC) & can be reached via email at comunicazione@enac.rupa.it or over phone (+39) 06 445 961


🚨 Some guys tried in the past & got arrested & expelled for flying above the Vatican, so we strongly recommend to keep your drone on the ground this time. Moreover, if not flying above the Vatican itself, you will fall immediately into Rome's skies which is severely controlled as well - see "The Ultimate Guide to Italy (Rome) Drone Laws & Rules"



What do I risk for flying a drone illegally in the Vatican?


🚨 The amount & scope of the fine will depend on the nature & severity of your infraction. The judges will also evaluate if you intentionally committed the infraction and/or if you had any commercial purposes to do such. However, some journal stories prove that they are quite severe fines and expel orders applied to those flying without permission.

 

If you got everything in order, you can start flying above Vatican's (& Rome eventually) awesome landscapes & create videos like this one:
