Why this verdict

British citizens can usually enter without a visitor visa for ordinary short visits to San Marino, based on the destination authority or official visa portal. This priority-audience matrix record is intentionally conservative: special residence permits, diplomatic/service passports, work, study, overland border rules and airline transit checks can change the answer. Reconfirm on the official source before booking.
