About the San Marino Passport
The San Marino passport is in the strong tier of the passports we rank, at position 11. Holders can enter 107 destinations without a visa, and total mobility reaches 171 when eTA, visa on arrival and e-Visa access are counted. Europe is the strongest region with 43 visa-free destinations, followed by North America with 20, while Oceania is the weakest at 5. That is a well rounded profile across all six regions.
Most key destinations are open. France and the Schengen area, the United Kingdom, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, China, Singapore and Brazil are all visa-free, and the United States, Canada and Australia ask only for an eTA. Access is already broad, so a second citizenship such as Turkey CIP could add up to 10 destinations, and residency may suit other goals.
