Uzbek passport holders need a visa to enter San Marino. Since San Marino has no airport, you'll enter via Italy (usually Rimini or Bologna) and cross the border by road. Plan ahead — there's no visa-on-arrival option as of 2026.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Apply for a Schengen visa at the Italian embassy or consulate | San Marino does not issue its own visas. You need a Schengen visa from Italy, which handles San Marino's consular affairs. Apply at the Italian embassy or consulate in Uzbekistan. Processing takes 15 calendar days, so submit your application at least 3 weeks before travel.San Marino visa info | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the entire stay in Schengen area | Your passport needs to be valid for your entire stay in San Marino and the Schengen zone. No minimum validity beyond departure is required by Schengen rules, but airlines may enforce 3 months validity — check with your carrier before booking. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Schengen area | Immigration officers at Schengen entry points routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking showing you leave the Schengen zone within your visa's validity period. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a confirmed hotel reservation for your entire stay in San Marino. If staying with a friend, bring an invitation letter from your host along with their residence permit or ID copy. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show sufficient means for your stay | Have bank statements or a credit card showing you can cover your expenses. Schengen rules suggest around €50–€100 per day, but San Marino rarely enforces a fixed amount. A recent statement with a few hundred euros is usually enough. | Recommended |
No direct flights to San Marino
You must enter through Italy. The nearest airports are Rimini (RMI) and Bologna (BLQ). Plan your land transport in advance — buses from Rimini are frequent but cash-only.
San Marino is not in Schengen
But it has an open border with Italy. Your Schengen visa is valid for entry. No additional border checks when crossing from Italy.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for a Schengen visa at the Italian embassy
Since San Marino has no embassy abroad, you apply for a Schengen visa at the Italian embassy or consulate in Uzbekistan. Submit your application at least 4–6 weeks before travel. You'll need a completed form, passport photos, flight itinerary, accommodation bookings, travel insurance, and proof of funds.
2
Fly to Italy (Rimini or Bologna)
Most travellers fly into Bologna Airport (BLQ) or Rimini Airport (RMI). After landing, go through Italian border control. Have your passport and visa ready. The officer may ask about your plans — mention San Marino.
3
Travel from Italy to San Marino
From Rimini, take bus line 9 (Rimini FS to San Marino) — about 45 minutes. From Bologna, take a train to Rimini, then the bus. No border check between Italy and San Marino, but keep your passport and visa with you.
4
Enter San Marino
Once you cross the border, you're in San Marino. There's no formal immigration check. Your Schengen visa covers your stay. Enjoy the microstate.

Frequently asked questions

Your stay in San Marino counts toward your Schengen visa's total allowed days (usually 90 days within any 180-day period). There's no separate limit for San Marino itself.
Apply at the Italian embassy or consulate in Uzbekistan. You can find the nearest one in Tashkent. Check the embassy's website for appointment booking and required documents.
No. There is no visa-on-arrival option. You must obtain a Schengen visa before you travel.
That's fine. San Marino is not in Schengen but has an open border with Italy. A visa valid for Italy allows you to enter San Marino without additional permits.
You need proof of onward travel — either a return flight to Uzbekistan or a ticket to your next destination. Immigration may ask for it at the Italian border.
Yes, for the Schengen visa application. You need insurance covering at least €30,000 in medical expenses. Once you have the visa, it's still strongly recommended for your own protection.
