Short answer
San Marino’s elective residence permit requires that foreign applicants hold a health insurance policy (Source: SM_ELECTIVE_ESTERI_2026, Department of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of San Marino; verified 2026-06-13). The published statement names a health insurance policy but states no coverage amount or territory, so the engine models a single rule: insurance is mandatory.

How we evaluate
The checker compares each modeled requirement against product evidence. Only one rule is encoded from the Department of Foreign Affairs statement: insurance is mandatory. The statement gives no amount, period or territory, so the engine encodes none of those, following the UNKNOWN > Wrong principle. As a result, every tracked product that provides health or travel insurance satisfies the single modeled requirement and shows GREEN. Because the published detail is minimal, confirm the specific policy terms with the Department of Foreign Affairs before you apply. See /methodology/ for the full logic.
Proof package checklist
- A health insurance policy held by the applicant.
- A certificate showing the policy holder, policy number and coverage dates.
- Confirmation of any further terms the Department of Foreign Affairs may request.
