San Marino is not part of the Schengen area, but according to San Marino’s foreign ministry it can only be reached by crossing it; the entry authorisations it mentions concern visitors from outside the Schengen area, so Portuguese citizens need no visa. Anyone staying longer than 30 days needs a stay or residence permit and must apply within that period at the Gendarmerie’s Foreigners’ Office.
Which Portuguese office issues passports and visas?
For passports and other formal consular services, Portuguese citizens should turn to the Portuguese Embassy in Rome, which is responsible for San Marino.

What can an honorary consul do?
An honorary consul is not a career diplomat but a local resident – often a business person or lawyer – appointed by Portugal and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Portuguese citizens in an emergency (lost passport, accident, arrest), pass on applications and documents to the embassy, and certify signatures or life certificates. Passports and visas are not issued by an honorary consulate; they remain the responsibility of the embassy or a career consulate.
