Bangladeshi passport holders need a visa to visit San Marino. Since San Marino has no embassy in Bangladesh, you must apply for a Schengen visa through the Italian embassy or consulate. Plan ahead — processing can take 2–4 weeks.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Apply at San Marino consulate | San Marino does not have its own visa issuance system — you apply for a Schengen visa through Italy, which handles San Marino's diplomatic representation. Submit your application at the Italian embassy or consulate in Bangladesh. Processing takes 15–30 days, fee is €80 for adults.Apply for visa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for entire stay | Your passport must be valid for the full duration of your stay in San Marino. Schengen rules require at least 3 months beyond your departure date from the Schengen area. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for Schengen entry | Immigration officers at the Schengen border will ask for proof of onward travel — a return flight to Bangladesh or a ticket to a third country. Budget airlines flying into Italy often check this before issuing a boarding pass. Have a printed or digital copy ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a confirmed hotel reservation for every night of your stay in San Marino, or a formal letter of invitation from a host. Immigration officers in Italy (where you enter Schengen) routinely ask for this. A booking confirmation email with your name and dates works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show sufficient means for your stay | Have bank statements or a credit card showing you can cover your expenses — roughly €50–€100 per day is the informal benchmark. Schengen officers rarely ask for this if you have a return ticket and accommodation, but they can request it at the border. | Recommended |
