I was finally able to complete most of my EU digital passenger locator form. However, when working on the declarations page at the end I am unsure what to put down for my reason for traveling. Does anyone have any recommendations I will be traveling as a citizen from the United States to Italy and back.
Is this editable after submitted?
Mine is editable, but I don't see a "reason for traveling" as part of the declaration on mine.
I do not recall struggling with that part of the form, and do not recall if they have check boxes or a blank to fill in. But why are you going? likely for tourism, so put that down. Or do you have another concern?
Yes it is editable. I cannot remember what I put down. All you get is an automatic reply email to save so don’t fret; just put “tourism.”
Indeed, if you are going for tourism, write tourism. For business, write business. To care for a family member , write to care for a family member.
Italy is allowing vaccinated Americans to enter, so there is no real concern with your motive for going there (unless it is criminal or in some other way untoward !!!).
Unfortunately tourism isn’t an option. Wondering if there is a phone number to call for assistance?
Is this the link you are using https://www.euplf.eu/en/home/index.html? There is a user manual here https://euplf.eu/Only_Passenger_User_Manual_EUdPLF_en_v2.pdf.
I looked at my dPLF and there was nowhere it asked for the reason for travel. I also went through the process as though I needed a new one and it was not required.
Try holiday or vacation.
I would first verify that you are using the correct form. While many Countries refer to their form as an "EU PLF" they are unique to the country. For reference, I went to this link: https://app.euplf.eu/#/ it only applies to Italy, Malta, and Slovenia. I know there are also sites for Switzerland, Croatia, and other places. Out of curiosity, I went into the form, and I see no place to indicate reason for travel in the Italy form.
Just wondering if you selected the wrong country category (maybe the group of very high risk countries), and that's why that question is showing up for you.
It’s been a month now since we did ours, but I believe we left ours blank, and it processed without any answer. If a response is required, pick something besides Business.
Okay, I’ve confirmed I have the right form. I choose List E for my option as to where I’m traveling from. Then my reason - study needs (again required field), however I’m then asked if I’m exempt provided by the art. 51 of the DPCM 2/3/21. I selected no and now I’m asked if I have an exemption issued by tbt Italian ministry of health. I said no but then it goes on to ask where I’ll be for my period of health surveillance.
Guessing the list d or e is where the options begin to get messy and unclear.
Are you from the US? Then select List D and under that your vaccination or testing status. If you are fully vaccinated you select the 4th radio button stating you will present a certificate proving that.

Yes, exactly. For list E countries, you need a compelling reason to visit Italy, Tourism is not a valid reason. For List D countries, no travel reason is needed.
What country are you from? The US and Canada are List D now, but handled under Special Rules.
If you are from a List E country, claiming Study Needs is only valid if you are enrolled in a formal educational program, and if from a List E country, would require a 10 day quarantine and additional testing. You can not enter from a List E Country for tourism reasons.
Thanks everyone. I was able to make the adjustments and got it to work. Thanks again.
