Why this verdict
Indian citizens are mapped as conditional for San Marino because they must first hold the Schengen/Italy authorization needed to reach the Republic. San Marino itself does not grant entry visas. This guidance is intentionally route-aware: San Marino entry is normally reached through Italy / the Schengen area, while local stay-permit or residence formalities can apply after arrival. Work, study, residence, diplomatic/service passports, carrier checks and border routing can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official source before booking.
Conditional rules
- Holder of a valid Schengen visa, residence permit or other authorization accepted for entry/transit through Italy Visa-free
