Passports

Serbia is not a member of the European Union or the Schengen Area but maintains visa-free travel arrangements with many European and non-European countries.

EU and EEA nationals: Citizens of EU and EEA countries can enter Serbia with a valid passport or national ID card for stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Transport providers such as airlines and bus operators may require you to show identification when boarding.

Non-EU nationals: A passport issued within the past ten years and valid for at least three months beyond the planned stay is required.

Travellers should enter Serbia only through recognised international border crossings. While travel between Serbia and Kosovo is possible, Serbia does not recognise Kosovo's crossing points as official international borders. You can travel from Serbia to Kosovo and return, but to enter Serbia from Kosovo, you must have a valid Serbian entry stamp obtained at an official border crossing or Serbian airport. Without this stamp, you may be refused entry.

In addition, all foreign visitors must register with the local police within 24 hours of arrival. Hotels usually handle this automatically at check-in.

Visas

EU nationals: Citizens of EU and EEA countries do not need a visa to enter Serbia for stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period.

Non-EU nationals: Citizens of the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, and New Zealand can enter Serbia without a visa for stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period for business or tourism. Travellers from other countries should check whether a visa is required by visiting the official Ministry of Foreign Affairs website: https://www.mfa.gov.rs/en.

In addition, while Serbia is not a member of the Schengen Area, it allows holders of valid multiple-entry Schengen visas to enter without obtaining a Serbian visa, provided:
• The Schengen visa is type C (short-stay) or type D (long-stay).
• It is valid and has been used at least once to enter a Schengen country.
• The total stay in Serbia does not exceed 90 days within a 180-day period.

Types and cost

Visa fees vary depending on nationality and visa type. As a guide, short-stay (C) visas generally cost €60 and long-stay (D) visas €100. Some countries have bilateral agreements exempting their citizens from visa fees. Travellers should confirm the applicable fee with the nearest Serbian embassy or consulate.

Validity

Short-stay visas allow a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period.

Application to

Visitors can apply for Type C (short-stay) and Type D (long-stay) visas online via the official eVisa portal: https://evisa.welcometoserbia.gov.rs.

Schengen visas

Serbia is not a member of the Schengen Area, but it allows holders of valid multiple-entry Schengen visas to enter without obtaining a Serbian visa, provided:
• The Schengen visa is type C (short-stay) or type D (long-stay).
• It is valid and has been used at least once to enter a Schengen country.
• The total stay in Serbia does not exceed 90 days within a 180-day period.

Temporary residence

Foreign nationals intending to stay in Serbia for more than 90 days must apply for a temporary residence permit through the Ministry of Interior.

Working days

Visa processing typically takes up to 15 calendar days but may take longer depending on nationality and documentation. Apply early.

Sufficient funds

Travellers need to show proof of sufficient funds for the duration of stay, such as cash, credit cards, or bank statements.

Entry documents

It is recommended that travellers have health insurance for their stay in Serbia, with a minimum coverage of €20,000.

Entry with pets

Pets entering Serbia must have a microchip, valid rabies vaccination, and an official veterinary certificate. Pets from non-EU countries may require a rabies antibody test.
