What the San Marino visa rules mean for Timor-Leste travellers
Timor-Leste citizens can enter San Marino without a visa and stay for up to 30 days. You only need a valid Timor-Leste passport at the border; immigration officers may still ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and enough money for your stay. The 30-day limit usually counts calendar days from your arrival, so book your return flight inside that window.
