Myanmar passport holders need a visa to enter San Marino. Since San Marino has no airport, you'll fly into Italy (usually Bologna or Rimini) and cross the land border. Plan your Schengen visa application well ahead — processing can take 2–4 weeks in 2026.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |

Enter through Italy
San Marino has no airport. You'll fly into Italy (Bologna or Rimini) and cross the land border. Your Schengen visa must be valid for entry into Italy — that's where passport control happens.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for a Schengen visa
Submit your application at the Italian embassy or consulate in Myanmar (or the Schengen state you'll enter first). You'll need the visa before you travel. Processing takes 15–30 days. Book an appointment early — slots fill up fast.
2
Fly to Italy
Most travellers fly into Bologna (BLQ) or Rimini (RMI). At Italian passport control, show your passport with the Schengen visa, return ticket, and accommodation proof. You'll get an entry stamp.
3
Travel to San Marino
From Rimini, take bus line 72 (€5, 45 minutes) or drive. At the border, there's a small checkpoint — officers may ask to see your passport and visa. No additional visa is needed if you already have a valid Schengen visa.
4
Enter San Marino
You'll get a San Marino entry stamp (optional but nice). The border is open 24/7. Keep your passport handy for any random checks.
