Passports, visas and insurance

  • You do not need a visa to travel to Serbia; however you should ensure that your passport is valid for the duration of your stay

  • Remember to take out travel insurance, even if you are only going for one night – it could save you a lot of money if you get into difficulties. Please note that your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) is not valid in Serbia

  • You do not have to carry your passport on your person while in Serbia but you should carry a copy if the authorities ask to see ID

  • If you lose your passport, you will need to make an appointment with the Consular Section in Belgrade to apply for an Emergency Travel Document. You will need to fill out the application online, have one passport size photo and pay online (£100). If you are not able to apply online, you need to go to the Embassy Consular Section during working hours and the consular staff will be able to assist you
