Great news! Sammarinese citizens are eligible for the Russian e-visa, making short visits (up to 30 days) easy and free. For longer stays, you'll need a traditional visa with an invitation letter. Here's your complete step-by-step guide.
As a Sammarinese citizen, you may use the Russian e-visa for a stay of up to 30 days or review an ordinary visa route. Apply only through the official portal, which shows the current government fee.
For an ordinary tourist visa, tourist confirmation is normally part of the supporting documents. Current price, payment methods and delivery estimate are shown before payment. Business-product availability must be checked by passport citizenship.
Fill out the official Russian visa application form at visa.kdmid.ru. You'll need your passport details, travel dates, accommodation info (from your invitation), and a passport-sized photo (3.5×4.5cm).
Submit your documents at Applications via Embassy of Russia, Rome (Italy). You can also use VFS Global visa centers where available. Processing takes 5–10 business days (standard), 1–3 days (express).
Once approved, your visa sticker will be placed in your passport. Make sure to register within 7 business days of arrival in Russia (your hotel usually does this automatically).
Review current tourist-confirmation terms before payment. The competent authority decides each application.
