Entry/Exit Requirements
"U.S. citizens with tourist, official, or diplomatic passports
do not require a visa for entry and stay in Serbia for up to 90
days. Individuals planning to stay longer than 90 days should obtain
a visa prior to arrival. This applies to bearers of all types of
U.S. passports – tourist, official, and diplomatic. To obtain
a visa, travelers should contact the Serbian Embassy in Washington
at telephone (202) 332-0333 or fax (202) 332-3933. The address of
the Embassy is 2134 Kalorama Road, Washington, DC 20008 and the
web site is http://www.mfa.gov.yu.
Alternatively, travelers may also contact the Serbian Consulate
General in Chicago by telephone at (312) 670-6707, by fax at (312)
670-6787, or in person at 201 East Ohio St., Suite 200, Chicago,
Illinois 60611.
Travelers who obtain a new passport while in Serbia and do not
have a prior passport or other evidence of their entry (for example,
in cases of a lost or stolen passport or a child born in Serbia)
will not be allowed to depart the country without an exit visa obtained
from the Ministry of Interior. Similarly, travelers who use a different
country's passport to enter than to exit (for example, entering
with a Serbian passport or Serbian "National ID Card"
and attempting to exit with a U.S. passport) are likely to have
difficulty exiting Serbia due to the lack of an entry stamp in their
passport. Note that Montenegro and Kosovo have their own immigration
requirements.
Travelers who enter Serbia with more than the equivalent of 5,000
euros in cash are required to declare all currency upon entry and
must obtain from customs officials a declaration that must be presented
at departure. Failure to comply may result in the confiscation of
all funds. Please refer to our Customs Information to learn more
about customs regulations.
Registration with Local Authorities: Visitors staying in private
accommodations must register with the police station responsible
for the area in which they are staying within 24 hours of arrival.
Failure to comply may result in a fine, incarceration, and/or expulsion.
Persons who fail to register may face difficulties in departing
the country. Visitors staying in hotels or tourist facilities are
automatically registered with the police by the hotel. Additional
information about visa requirements and the obligation of foreigners
to register their location is available from the Government of Serbia
at http://www.mup.sr.gov.yu."
