What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 3 months beyond the intended departure from the Schengen area.
  • Completed and signed Schengen visa application form

Visa types

  • Short-stay Schengen (Type C) tourist visa: single or multiple entry, valid up to 90 days within a 180-day period, fee EUR 90
  • Business visa: same validity as tourist, requires an invitation letter from a San Marino host, fee EUR 90
  • Since San Marino has no separate visa regime from Italy, the Schengen visa issued via the Italian consulate covers entry to San Marino

How to apply

  • Steps: book an appointment, complete the online form, gather documents, attend the appointment for biometrics and interview, pay the fee
  • Fee: EUR 90 (approximately USD 97) for adults, payable in local currency equivalent
  • Standard processing time: 10-15 working days
  • Express processing is not generally offered for this route; apply at least 3-4 weeks before travel
  • A short interview at the visa centre is standard for first-time applicants

Tips for Egypt travelers

  • Apply at least a month in advance since the application is routed through the Italian Schengen visa system
  • Common rejection reasons: insufficient funds shown, unclear travel purpose, weak ties to Egypt documented
  • Book your visa appointment through the official Italian consulate or an authorized visa centre only
  • Carry printed hotel bookings specifically for San Marino if that is your main destination, not just Italy
  • Overstay or extension requests inside San Marino are handled jointly with Italian immigration authorities
