Visa NoteThese regulations do not apply to the Kosovo area, which is currently under the administration of the UN. All nationals wishing to travel to Kosovo must present a valid passport and documentation supporting their reason for entry to the border police at their point of entry. Applicants granted entry may stay in Kosovo for up to 90 days and may extend their stay by applying to the Police Main Headquarters in Pristina.
WarningMost visits are trouble-free.
It is advised to exercise caution when traveling to Kosovo or within the Presevo and Bujanovac districts of South Serbia.
Although the overall security situation in Kosovo remains calm, sporadic incidents including explosions continue to occur.
It is recommended to stay alert at all times and take particular care to avoid public gatherings, political rallies, protests and polling stations, and pay close attention to local media reports.
Travelers should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks which could be in public areas, including those frequented by foreigners.
You should only enter Serbia through recognized border crossings, where you will receive an entry stamp in your passport. You will face penalties if you try to leave Serbia without an entry stamp. The Serbian government does not recognize entry points from Kosovo or those on Kosovo’s external borders with Albania or Macedonia.
When visiting Serbia, you must register with local police within 24 hours of arrival. If you are staying in a hotel or official tourist accommodation, you will be registered automatically on check-in. If you do not register you risk a fine, detention or a court appearance.
Since July 2005, new entry control measures came into force for Kosovo. You may now be required to provide documentary evidence (eg a letter of invitation giving a reason for your stay) to local authorities when entering Kosovo.
The main route between Pristina and Skopje is open but there remains an inherent risk of landslide.
There are still residual mines and other unexploded ordnance in some areas of Kosovo and some areas of South Serbia.
You should carry your passport at all times for identification purposes.
