Visa required in advance

Every other passport

Holders of a valid multiple-entry Schengen visa, or of an EU or Schengen residence permit, may enter without one for up to 15 days per entry and 90 in 180. Through 31 December 2026 the same applies to holders of a valid multiple-entry UK, US or Canadian visa.

How to get it: Foreign visitors must be registered with the police within two days of arrival. A hotel does this at check-in; in a private rental, confirm the host will, because an unregistered stay can mean a fine.
