Croatia → San Marino: Short-stay tourist

Whether you need a visa at all, according to official sources.

Checked by our automated verification on 20 Oct 2026: every source on this page resolves and the data is structurally complete. This does not confirm a person re-read the source text for accuracy.

You likely don't need a visa

You don't need a visa to visit San Marino as a tourist. San Marino's Foreign Ministry says that to reach the country you must cross the Schengen area, so visitors from outside Schengen need the authorisations required to enter and transit it, in practice, a Schengen visa where your nationality needs one. Your nationality doesn't need a Schengen visa, so a valid passport is what applies (EU/EEA citizens can also use a valid national ID card). San Marino's own pages don't list which nationalities need a Schengen visa, so this follows the EU's Schengen visa-free list, which can carry conditions, such as needing a biometric passport, or registering under systems like ETIAS once it is live, so confirm with an embassy or consulate of a Schengen state before booking non-refundable travel. San Marino's own law only requires a residence or stay permit if you plan to stay more than 30 days (see the checklist).

Every report is personal: a document check is built from one person's own answers and documents, so two people on this route can get different results. Run your own check rather than relying on a friend's or relative's; each person is responsible for their own application.
