Aevamo’s reading
Law 118/2010 is San Marino's own statute on the entry and stay of foreigners; its Article 5 imposes the operative requirement (a valid passport and, for foreigners from non-Schengen states, a valid Schengen visa where required) and Article 8 fixes the tourist stay at up to 90 days per six months. The EU visa Regulation and the foreign-affairs page only supply facts the law incorporates by reference.
Regulation (EU) 2018/1806 Art 3(1) requires nationals of the third countries listed in Annex I to hold a visa when crossing the external borders; each of these issuers appears in Annex I, so a Schengen visa is required, and Law 118/2010 Art 5(2) makes that visa a condition of entry into San Marino for a foreigner coming from a non-Schengen state.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions
Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
