Entry via Italy
San Marino has no airport. You'll enter through Italy, so Italian border control rules apply. Make sure your passport is stamped on entry — without it, you may have trouble proving you didn't overstay.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Italy, not from when you leave. If it expires sooner, renew it before traveling.
What happens at the border
1
Fly into Italy
You'll arrive at an Italian airport (most likely Bologna, Rimini, or Florence). Go through Italian border control — they'll stamp your passport. San Marino has no airport, so this is your entry point.
2
Travel to San Marino
From the airport, take a bus, train, or rental car to San Marino. The border between Italy and San Marino is open — no passport check. Just drive or ride across.
