Bosnia and Herzegovina visas

Whether you need a visa for Bosnia and Herzegovina depends on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay: many travellers can enter visa-free for short visits, while others must obtain a visa in advance, and anyone intending to work, study, join family or settle needs a temporary residence permit. Short-stay visas are issued by Bosnia and Herzegovina's diplomatic and consular missions under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while entry, residence and work matters inside the country are handled by the Service for Foreigners' Affairs, an administrative organisation within the Ministry of Security. Always confirm current rules for your nationality on the official government pages before you travel.
