- Transit
- airside transit: conditional; landside transit: conditional; China permits direct transit for up to 24 hours without leaving the port-restricted area.

Why this verdict
Sammarinese citizens can enter China without a visa under the China–San Marino mutual visa-exemption agreement for up to three months per visit. The exemption applies to valid ordinary passports and short visits covered by the agreement; work, study, residence, news reporting and longer stays require the appropriate visa in advance. Border officers may still examine the purpose and conditions of entry.

- China transit-without-visa, regional or port-visa route Conditional
