Do I need a visa to enter SerbiaFor nationals of many countries, no visa is required for a tourist visit to Serbia. The most accurate (and regularly updated) info can be found on the website of the ministry of foreign affairs. Follow the link below to go directly to the page where you can check whether you need visa for Serbia or not (the page opens in a new window) http://www.mfa.gov.yu/Visas/f_without_visa.htm
Where do I get my visa?If there is an embassy of Serbia in your country, you should try getting your visa there. However, such embassy doesn't exist in a number of countries - in which case you should try to get your visa in some other country along the way. Follow the link below to check if there is a Serbian embassy in your country - the web page also has all the addresses of Serbian embassies and consulary missions abroad. http://www.mfa.gov.yu/Embassies/yu_emb_e.html
Embassies in Belgrade:In case you want to continue your journey, to another country, you may need to get some visas in Belgrade. There is a number of foreign embassies in Belgrade - to check if the one you need is among them, and also to find out the address and the phone number, follow the link below: http://www.mfa.gov.yu/Embassies/missions_e.html
Where can I cross the border to / from SerbiaHere you can find the complete list of border crossings to / from all the neighboring countries: http://www.mfa.gov.yu/Visas/l_border_c.htm
What do I need to have in order to get visa?In that case, here is what you need: 1) Valid Passport; 2) Letter of invitation (verified by the competent Serbian authority) or an invitation by a company for a business visit or a receipt or authorized tourist company certifying that the travel arrangement has been paid for (letter of credit or other payment receipt); 3) Return ticket; 4) Proof of sufficient funds in hard currency and 5 ) Certificate that a health fund shall cover the medical costs in Serbia, if any.
Are there any transit visas?Transit visa applicants are required to obtain the visa for the country they will enter after the transit through Serbia. By presenting this visa at the Serbian embassy, they will receive a transit visa.
Do I need to register my visa upon arrival?Technically, you are supposed to, although virtually no one does it, and I've never heard they had any problems. However, if you insist on doing everything by the book, you may want to read this article: http://www.mfa.gov.yu/Visas/registration_of_foreigners.htm
