A San Marino passport needs no UAE visa. The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs puts the Republic of San Marino on its visa free list: a free multiple entry visit visa is issued at the airport, valid 6 months, with up to 90 days in total. We check your dates, and we file visas for relatives or friends who hold other passports.
The rule in short
| Item | What applies |
|---|---|
| Visa to buy | None, issued free at arrival |
| Visa validity | 6 months |
| Days allowed | Up to 90 in total |
| Longer stay or a job | A separate permit, priced after your case is checked |

Ninety is a running total across the 6 months, not a fresh allowance for each trip. Count your days before you book a long winter in Dubai.
Diplomatic link
San Marino's foreign ministry records that it has had diplomatic relations with the UAE since . Its page names the UAE ambassador accredited to San Marino, seated in Rome. We found no San Marino embassy or consulate inside the UAE, so we name none. For passport or document help in the Gulf, ask the ministry in San Marino first.
Where we can be useful
- Guests on other passports. A friend from Manila or a cousin from Cairo needs a visa before boarding. We file it through a licensed Dubai company, or as a sponsored visit visa if you live in the UAE.
- More days. Read the Dubai visa extension page first, then ask us about your case.
- A job offer. The employer files the work permit and residence. An entry stamp never becomes a job.
- Italy first. Most trips from San Marino start across the Italian border. Italian passports have their own rules on Dubai visa for Italians.
In your hand luggage
- Passport that covers the whole trip, ideally with six months left
- Onward or return flight
- Hotel booking or your host's address
- Insurance for the trip
How it works with us
Send a photo of your passport page and your dates through WhatsApp or the form. An adviser reads the rule against your trip, looks at every other traveller and replies with one total price for whatever we file for you, for example a relative's visa. We start only after you accept. We are a private visa service, not the UAE government, and the authorities decide each entry and each application.
If a visa is refused, the authorities keep their fee. Before you pay we write down how much of our own price, if any, you would get back.
