Travellers who want to enter the Schengen area will have to change from the end of 2022. Many think this is a good thing, some are annoyed about the extra effort. In the end, however, it is worth investing the time. ETIAS makes it possible to control and tax travel to the Schengen area. Filling out the form is easy and can be done within a few minutes. However, there are always problems with certain states. Within Italy, there is one state that many people think is part of Italy, but it is not. We are talking about San Marino. Besides this dwarf state, there is also Andorra, Monaco and Vatican City. These states are within the Schengen area, but they do not belong to it.
Entry to San Marino is only possible with ETIAS
Although San Marino is not part of the Schengen area, entry is only possible with a Schengen visa. In practice, this question hardly arises anyway. In the initial application, the tourist indicates the country he is entering first. This cannot be San Marino, because this country is completely surrounded by Italy and also has no access to the sea. The nearest airport is in Rimini, in Italy. So if you want to go to San Marino, you book an ETIAS for Italy, fly to Rimini and travel on from there to San Marino. There he has no border controls to worry about and can enter the country immediately.
For the other countries, entry is just as unproblematic.
This is how easy it is to fill out the ETIAS form for San Marino
In principle, the ETIAS form for San Marino is not only valid for Italy, but for the entire Schengen area. So anyone who wants to visit one or more of the states several times during the three-year validity period can do so. Only the first entry is bound by the information given. The tourist must therefore put Italy as the first country on the form.
It is expected that it will only be possible to apply for an ETIAS via the Internet. Neither a passport nor any other document needs to be submitted. The passport must only be presented at the border. It is the responsibility of the traveller to ensure that the passport number and other details match. The other information must also be filled in accurately and truthfully.
Those who do not have the internet can also have a friend or an agency fill out the application.
