In the following three editions, they were not able to qualify.

In Sofia, San Marino was counted as qualifier. However, when they revealed the qualifiers, San Marino was not named. This means that San Marino failed to qualify again. They withdrew from the 22th edition. The country again took part at the 26th edition in Baku. They finished at the 13th place. This was their best result so far. The next edition in Warsaw they even did better. They finished at the eleventh place. It also was the first time in the history of San Marino that they received the maximum of 12 points. The next edition in Baku, San Marino finished at the 12th place. In Geneva, San Marino only received 3 points, and so finished at the 20th place. Because San Marino finished at one of the last three possitions in the 29th edition, they had to withdraw from the 30th edition.
