Visa-free90 days max stay

No β€” Slovenian passport holders do not need a visa for San Marino. Entry is visa-free for up to 90 days as of 2026.

San Marino has no independent border controls and is only accessible via Italy (a Schengen member). Schengen entry rules apply de facto: all nationalities that may enter the Schengen Area without a visa may enter San Marino freely. No passport control at the border; no entry stamps issued. The official MFA page states stays exceeding 30 days require a permit from the Gendarmerie - Foreigners' Office; the Schengen 90/180-day rule is referenced by the UK government and travel sources as the effective outer limit for tourists. Visitors from non-Schengen states must obtain Schengen authorisation before departure.
