San Marino Beach Holidays

Your passport must be issued less than 10 years before you arrive and valid for at least 3 months after you leave the Schengen area.

You do not need a visa for tourist visits to San Marino and the Schengen area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

You must have a passport with a valid Schengen area entry stamp from Italy to enter San Marino.

Ensure your total stay across all Schengen area countries within a 180-day period does not exceed 90 days.

If staying over 30 days or planning to work, you must register with the Gendarmerie for a permit of stay.

Customs rules for goods you can bring into San Marino are the same as for Italy.

When returning to the UK, you must carry a valid British passport regardless of any other nationality.

Keep your passport and money secure as a precaution, although street crime is rare.

You face a prison sentence or a heavy fine if convicted for possessing or using illegal drugs due to a zero-tolerance policy.

To drive, you must have both the 1968 version of the international driving permit and your UK driving licence with you in the car.

Get your international driving permit before you travel, as you cannot buy one outside the UK.

Hire car companies often require a year of driving experience and a higher minimum age.

Drinks in bars are often stronger than in the UK, so be cautious about how much you drink.

Be careful about accepting drinks from strangers or leaving your drink unattended.
