Guide last updated August 20, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport validity: Must be valid for at least three months beyond the intended stay.
  • Specific forms: No specific visa application form is required for short stays.
  • Financial proof: Travelers should be prepared to show proof of sufficient funds to cover their stay (e.g., bank statements, credit cards). No specific minimum amount is officially published for visa-free entry.
  • Accommodation and return ticket: Proof of onward or return ticket and confirmed accommodation bookings are highly recommended.
  • Photo spec: Not applicable for visa-free entry, but carry passport-sized photos just in case for potential extensions or unexpected requests.
  • Biometrics: Not required for visa-free entry.
  • Travel health insurance: While not strictly mandatory for short visa-free stays, comprehensive travel health insurance covering medical emergencies and repatriation is highly recommended.

Visa types

  • Andorra citizens benefit from visa-free entry to San Marino for short stays.
  • There are no specific visa types (Tourist, Business, Student, Work) that Andorra citizens need to apply for under the standard Schengen/EU agreements which San Marino adheres to for visa purposes. Entry is governed by short-stay provisions.
  • Short Stay (Tourism/Business): Maximum stay of 90 days within any 180-day period. This is a non-renewable short-stay entry under visa-free conditions.
  • Entry is single entry under these visa-free provisions for short stays.

Entry conditions

  • Travelers from Andorra can enter San Marino visa-free for a maximum of 90 days within any 180-day period. This applies to tourism and short business trips.
  • Work is strictly prohibited under visa-free entry. Any intention to work requires a specific work permit obtained in advance.
  • On arrival, immigration officers may request to see:
  • A valid passport.
  • Proof of sufficient financial means for the duration of the stay.
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel reservations, invitation letters).
  • Proof of onward or return travel (flight tickets).
  • Extension options inside San Marino: Extensions beyond the 90-day visa-free period are generally not possible without applying for a specific long-stay visa or permit from the San Marino authorities, which usually requires leaving the territory first and applying through the appropriate channels, often via an embassy representing San Marino's interests abroad. Extensions for short stays are extremely rare and subject to exceptional circumstances, requiring application to the relevant San Marino administrative office (Ufficio Esteri e Politica della Cooperazione Internazionale) with strong justification.

Fees & processing time

  • Visa fee: 0 EUR (visa-free).
  • VFS/BLS service fee: Not applicable.
  • Total cost estimate: 0 EUR for entry.
  • Standard processing time: Immediate upon arrival, provided all entry requirements are met.
  • Express/priority option: Not applicable as entry is visa-free.

Tips for Andorra travelers

  • How far in advance to apply: No application is needed for short stays. However, ensure your passport is valid and gather supporting documents for potential on-arrival checks.
  • Common rejection reasons for Andorra applicants specifically: Rejection is unlikely for typical tourist/short business stays if passport is valid and proof of funds/onward travel is available. Reasons for refusal would usually be related to not meeting these basic entry requirements or concerns about the purpose of visit.
  • VFS/BLS vs direct embassy application: Not applicable as no visa application is required.
  • Any current travel advisories or bilateral notes: San Marino generally aligns with Schengen visa policies. While Andorra is not in the EU, its citizens often benefit from visa-free travel arrangements. Always check the official San Marino Ministry of Foreign Affairs website (esteri.sm) or the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website for any last-minute updates or specific entry notices, as San Marino's border control is often managed in conjunction with Italy.
  • Extension options inside San Marino: As mentioned, extensions are very difficult for visa-free stays. It's best to plan your trip within the 90-day limit. If a longer stay is needed, consult the San Marino authorities well in advance of your intended stay duration expiring.
