Why this verdict
South Korean citizens are mapped as visa-free for San Marino short visits because the companion Italy/Schengen route is visa-free and San Marino's MFA says entry is reached through Schengen transit. 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.
