Which nationalities and age range can participate?

The working-holiday stay permit is granted to a foreigner taking part in a working-holiday programme under understandings concluded between San Marino and other States, within the entry quotas set by the delegated decree under Article 19 and within the limits and conditions of those understandings. The official source does not state the participating nationalities or an age range.

Limits of the record
  • Nationality/age conditions are set by each bilateral understanding and were not located for every partner country in this capture.
  • Art. 10-bis(1)
    Il permesso di soggiorno per partecipanti a programmi vacanza/lavoro è rilasciato allo straniero che partecipi a uno di tali programmi ai sensi delle intese concluse tra la Repubblica di San Marino e altri Stati, fermo restando il rispetto delle quote di ingresso stabilite nel decreto delegato di cui all’articolo 19 e nei limiti e nelle condizioni previste da dette intese.

What combination of travel, work, study or training does the programme permit?

Participants are entered on a dedicated list kept by the Labour Office (after their names are passed to the Foreign Affairs Secretariat through diplomatic channels) and may obtain a work clearance ('nulla osta lavorativo') for a maximum of twelve months, of which no more than six months may be with any single employer. The programme therefore combines a working-holiday stay with the right to take paid work under that clearance. The official source does not state whether study or training is permitted.

  • Art. 10-bis(2)
    Lo straniero, il cui nominativo sarà comunicato alla Segreteria di Stato per gli Affari Esteri attraverso le vie diplomatiche, potrà iscriversi a un’apposita lista predisposta dall’Ufficio del Lavoro e potrà ottenere un nulla osta lavorativo per la durata massima di dodici mesi, dei quali non più di sei per ogni datore di lavoro.

What are the defining limitations: quota, ballot, previous participation, employer limits, study limits or equivalent?

For 2026 the maximum number of working-holiday programme stay permits is one thousand one hundred and twenty-five. No more than six months of the work clearance may be with any single employer. The official source does not state a ballot, previous-participation rule or study limits.

Limits of the record
  • What happens when the permit ends is not stated
