No visa neededup to 30 days

Russia, China

Thirty days without a visa on an ordinary passport.

Visa required in advance

Every other passport

Holders of a valid Schengen, UK, EU or US visa, or of a residence permit from the Schengen area, the EU or the US, may enter without a Serbian visa for up to 90 days in six months.

How to get it: Foreign visitors must be registered with the police within 24 hours 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. Make sure the passport is stamped on entry, and do not enter from Kosovo unless you first entered Serbia from somewhere else: Serbia does not recognise Kosovo's border crossings.
