30 daysmultiple entry

Tourism and short visits to San Marino for nationals who are exempt from Schengen area visa requirements. San Marino has no independent border controls and entry is via Italy.

San Marino does not issue its own entry visas. Entry is governed de facto by Schengen Area rules since San Marino is entirely surrounded by Italy. Nationals who may enter the Schengen Area without a visa may enter San Marino freely. The San Marino MFA states that stays up to 30 days do not require a permit; stays beyond 30 days require a Stay Permit from the Gendarmerie - Foreigners' Office. The effective outer ceiling under the Schengen framework is 90 days in any 180-day period. No passport control at the San Marino border; no entry stamps are issued.
