Step-by-Step Application Process

1

Travel to Serbia

Fly into Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (BEG) or arrive via land borders from neighboring countries (e.g., Hungary, Croatia, Romania).

2

Immigration Check

Present your valid Spanish passport or National Identity Card (DNI) to the border police upon arrival.

3

Police Registration (Crucial)

Foreigners must register their stay with the local police within 24 hours of arrival. If staying in a hotel, the hotel staff will do this for you automatically. If staying in a private apartment (like Airbnb), your host must register you, or you must do it together at the nearest police station.

Required Documents

  • β€”Valid Spanish Passport OR National Identity Card (DNI) (must be valid for at least 90 days from the issue date of the visa/entry)
  • β€”Proof of sufficient funds (50 EUR per day)
  • β€”Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or host's address for police registration)
  • β€”Health insurance covering the duration of your stay (recommended)

Important Tips

  • β€’The local currency is the Serbian Dinar (RSD). Euros are sometimes accepted informally, but you should always pay in Dinars. Credit cards are widely accepted in cities, but carry cash for smaller towns and bakeries.
  • β€’Cyrillic and Latin alphabets are both in official use. Street signs in Belgrade are often in both, but knowing a few Cyrillic letters can be helpful.
  • β€’Smoking is still common in many indoor cafes, bars, and restaurants in Serbia. Be prepared for smoky environments.
  • β€’Belgrade has a vibrant nightlife and excellent cafΓ© culture. 'Kafanas' (traditional taverns) are a must-visit for local food and live music.
  • β€’If traveling to Kosovo after Serbia, be aware of border complexities. It is generally easier to enter Kosovo from Serbia and return the same way, rather than entering Kosovo from another country and then trying to enter Serbia directly.

Easiest Way to Get It

Fly into Belgrade with your Spanish Passport or DNI, ensure your accommodation registers your stay within 24 hours, and enjoy the local culture.

Visa rules can change. Always verify with the official embassy.
