Travel Regulations for Serbia

The "Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Türkiye and the Government of the Republic of Serbia on the Mutual Abolition of Visas", signed in Belgrade on 12 July 2010, entered into force on 3 December 2010. In this context, diplomatic, private, service, ordinary and travel document holders are exempt from visa for their touristic visits or transit passes to and from Serbia, provided that the total residence time does not exceed 90 days within six months from the first entry date.

As of 3 May 2022, Serbia has abolished all restrictions brought on by COVID-19 for entry into and exit from the country. Serbias’s land, air and sea borders are open to passanger entries and exits. Cargo transportation also continues.

It is recommended that the passport validity period should be at least 6 months when entering Serbia. However, in practice, during transit passes, it is observed that Serbian authorities show tolerance to passport holders whose passport validity period is less than 6 months when they enter and exit the country.

It is also recommended that our citizens who will travel to Serbia by land or airway, should have the following documents with them.

In addition, in the interview made while entering to the country by the border police during passport control, it is important to state the purpose of visiting Serbia with truthful and clear expressions, and to give short and clear answers to the questions.

In accordance with the current Social Security Agreement between Türkiye and Serbia, it is possible for our citizens who will visit Serbia to receive free service at Serbian State Hospitals for emergency health problems that may arise if they obtain formulas with the TR/SRB formularies from the Social Security Institution (SGK) Directorates before their visit.

It is possible to cross into Kosovo via Serbia and re-enter Serbia. However, direct entry into Serbia is not possible in practice, if one has entered Kosovo from a third country. In this case, our citizens must enter Serbia using the Kosovo - Third Country - Serbia route.
