Republic of the Congo 
San Marino
Republic of the Congo passport holders need a visa for San Marino, issued by an embassy or consulate before travel.
San Marino's Foreign Ministry says that reaching San Marino means crossing the Schengen Area, so visitors from states outside it must hold the authorisations needed to enter and transit the Schengen Area before they leave.
“Per raggiungere la Repubblica di San Marino è necessario attraversare l’area Schengen. Pertanto, i visitatori provenienti da Stati al di fuori dell’area Schengen dovranno essere in possesso delle autorizzazioni necessarie per l’ingresso e transito nello spazio Schengen prima della loro partenza.”
