Do I need a visa for Serbia

For nationals of many countries, no visa is required for a tourist visit to Serbia. The most accurate (and regularly updated) info on Serbian visa 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 a visa for Serbia or not (the page opens in a new window)

Where do I get my Serbian visa?

If there is an embassy of Serbia in your country, you should try getting your Serbian visa there. However, such embassy doesn't exist in a number of countries - in which case you should try to get your Serbian 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.

What do I need to have in order to get Serbian 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

Are there any transit visas for Serbia?

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 Serbian 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:
