As well as this advice, check out our travel advice for Serbia
Passports, visas and insurance
- you don’t need a visa to travel to Serbia, however you should make sure your passport is valid for the duration of your stay
- remember to take out travel insurance, even if you’re only going for one night – it could save you a lot of money if you get into difficulties. European Health Insurance Cards (EHIC) aren’t valid in Serbia
- you don’t 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’ll need to make an appointment with the Consular Section in Belgrade to apply for an Emergency Travel Document. You’ll need to fill out the application online, have one passport size photo and pay online (£100). If your passport is stolen you’ll also need to provide a police report. If you aren’t 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
