The Republic of San Marino is a microstate landlocked within Italy, one of the world's smallest countries and oldest republics. Citizens of San Marino hold Sammarinese passports and are eligible for the Tanzania e-Visa program.
What Passport Do San Marino Citizens Hold?
San Marino citizens hold Sammarinese passports (passport of the Republic of San Marino), which are recognized internationally. San Marino is not a member of the EU, though it has extensive ties with Italy and the EU. For Tanzania travel, Sammarinese passport holders apply using their San Marino passport.
Note: Some San Marino citizens may also hold Italian citizenship and Italian/EU passports. Either passport can be used, though the specific Tanzania visa eligibility should be verified with the Tanzania Immigration Department.
