What paperwork do you need after moving to San Marino in 2026?

Finish the correct stay path before quality-of-life shopping. San Marino does not issue its own entry visas. Stays longer than thirty days need a temporary stay permit or a longer residence title: Apply for a residence permit. Non-Schengen nationals usually enter through Italy first with the right Italian or Schengen paper, then regularise inside the republic. Temporary files commonly run through the Gendarmeria Ufficio Stranieri.

Secure a written, registered lease that matches stay-permit wording for foreigners: How to rent a home and Rent in San Marino. Open or deepen a euro bank relationship early enough for rent, deposits, and elective-residence capital routes: Open a bank account. Rent and residency maths collide here: How expensive is San Marino and Where to live.

Match health cover to your permit type. Employees usually join ISS (Istituto per la Sicurezza Sociale) through work registration. Tourist and many inactive or elective tracks require private insurance valid on Sammarinese territory and do not unlock free ISS care automatically: Enrol in public health.

Get a reachable mobile line for bank OTPs, landlord SMS, and Gendarmeria callbacks. Bridge week one with a travel eSIM if needed, then move to TIM San Marino when ID and address proofs exist: Get a mobile phone. Connect AASS electricity, water, and internet with lease and identity papers once the Castello address is stable. Italian helps at counters more than tourist English: English in San Marino and Italian for work.
