What exact activity, role or purpose qualifies?

Worship ('culto') is one of the listed grounds for the special stay permit; this regime applies to religions other than Catholicism, by derogation from Art. 7(2). The official source does not define the qualifying religious role or activity.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The text does not define the qualifying religious role (e.g. minister) or activity.

What organisation, institution, religious body, charity, teacher or host must support the activity?

The host must be a community of that specific religion whose presence in San Marino is registered and recognised by the competent Authority; the request for the minister's permit/residence must be linked to that recognised community.

  • Art. 9(9) cont.
    la richiesta va collegata alla presenza registrata e riconosciuta da parte dell’Autorità competente di una comunità di quel determinato culto.

What proves the placement, role, affiliation, experience or cultural/religious/voluntary activity?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the evidence that proves the placement, role or affiliation.

Can the person receive salary, pocket money, accommodation, meals or reimbursement? Can they undertake other work?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm whether pay, pocket money, accommodation or other work is allowed.

How long can they stay, can they change host/activity, can family accompany, and can the status be extended?

Both the stay permit and full residence are available under this ground, granted by the Permanent Parliamentary Commission on a reasoned proposal from the Congress of State and the Gendarmeria's compulsory opinion; the official text does not state a separate duration/renewal cycle distinct from the general permit/residence rules. The official source does not state whether the minister can change host or whether family may accompany.
