How this access rule is documented

  1. Current official routeVisa required

    Schengen-visa-required ordinary passports: visitor access via Italy

    These ordinary passports require the Italian/Schengen visa needed for access through Italy; San Marino does not issue a separate entry visa.

    • This is the advance Schengen visa required for entry through Italy, not a separate San Marino visa. The Italian MFA describes a visa sticker affixed to the passport or other travel document; no eVisa status is established.
    • San Marino requires the necessary Schengen authorisation before departure; a local stay exceeding 30 days requires a stay permit or residence.
    • Italian entry conditions separately require a valid travel document, purpose and means evidence, a visa where prescribed, and no refusal/security ground. A Schengen residence permit holder has a separately stated 90-in-180 visa exemption; that document-conditioned route does not change this ordinary-passport nationality baseline.
    • Minor, diplomatic/official/service, refugee/stateless, residence, work, transit and other special-document exceptions are not flattened into this policy.
