San Marino Visa FAQs
San Marino does not have any visa requirements of its own. All Indian travellers visiting San Marino must enter San Marino via Italy. Therefore, even though there are no border formalities in San Marino, Indian travellers are required to hold a valid Italy Visa or any other Schengen country visa. Simultaneously anyone visiting a Schengen country can enter San Marino with a valid Schengen visa.
San Marino is not a member of the Schengen territory. However, it maintains an open border with Italy. Since San Marino is only accessible via Italy, entrance is not possible without entering the Schengen Area first and therefore Schengen visa rules apply.
Yes. You must apply for an Italy visa or any other Schengen country visa.
An Italy Schengen visa is a special kind of visa which allows you to travel among all the Schengen countries including Italy for a maximum period of 90 days. This is a traveller’s dream which lets you travel to all the Schengen countries on one visa.
Schengen Area comprises of the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.
The Schengen Visa is a short stay visa and takes the form of a sticker affixed to your passport. The definition of “short stay” is a stay of "90 days in any 180 days period". This means that the total duration of stay is of maximum 90 days in 6 months.
No, not necessarily all Schengen Visas will be granted for 90 days. You may get the Schengen Visa only for the number of days that you present in your travel itinerary and your flight & hotel bookings
You are free to apply again for a Schengen Visa if your application has been refused earlier.
