Where to apply
A Serbian diplomatic-consular mission, if a transit visa is required for your nationality/route

Requirements

  • Entry visa or documentation for the onward destination where required
  • Valid travel document meeting Serbian passport-validity rules

How to apply

Where a transit visa is needed for your nationality, apply at the nearest Serbian diplomatic-consular mission before travelling, presenting evidence of your onward entry visa or onward-journey documentation. Many travellers do not need a separate transit visa because they are visa-exempt or hold a qualifying foreign visa or residence permit.

Frequently asked questions

  • No. Whether a separate transit permission is required depends on your nationality and route. Visa-free nationals and holders of qualifying Schengen, UK, EU or US visas or residence permits can transit without a Serbian visa; others should confirm with a Serbian diplomatic-consular mission.
