Frequently asked questions
No, you don't need a visa for stays up to 90 days. San Marino has a visa-free agreement with Brunei. You enter through Italy, so you must also meet Italian/Schengen entry requirements.
Up to 90 days within any 180-day period. This is the standard Schengen short-stay limit, even though San Marino is not in the Schengen area — your entry is via Italy, so the Schengen 90/180 rule applies.
No, extensions are not available for visa-free visitors. If you need to stay longer, you'd have to leave the Schengen area and re-enter after a gap.
Your passport (valid 6+ months), return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation (first night), and possibly proof of sufficient funds. Travel insurance is recommended but not always required.
No. San Marino does not issue its own tourist visas for short stays. You enter via Italy under Schengen rules. For long stays (work, study, residence), you'd need a permit from San Marino's authorities.
Overstaying can result in fines, a ban from the Schengen area, or difficulty entering in the future. The 90-day limit is strictly enforced across all Schengen countries, and San Marino is treated as part of that zone for entry purposes.
No, there is no arrival declaration or registration requirement for short-stay visitors. Just enjoy your trip.
