Home / Visa Countries / San Marino
San Marino does not issue visas to third-country nationals. An EU Commission document hosted on the San Marino foreign ministry site (esteri.sm) states that those who need a visa must cross Italy and so apply for a Schengen visa from the Italian authorities. San Marino has no border controls with Italy, so Bangladeshi citizens apply to Italy in Dhaka, where Italian visa applications are filed only at VFS Global. We could not load the ministry's own traveller page, so some details are marked for confirmation. Last checked 4 November 2026.
