Austria to Bosnia and Herzegovina visa requirements

No visa required. Austrian (EU) passport holders can enter Bosnia and Herzegovina visa-free for tourism and stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Austrian ordinary passport holders do not need a visa to visit Bosnia and Herzegovina for tourism or other short stays. As EU citizens, they may enter visa-free and remain for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Entry is permitted with either a valid Austrian passport or a valid Austrian national ID card. Bosnia and Herzegovina is NOT a member of the Schengen Area and is NOT an EU member state, so neither the Schengen 90/180 rule nor ETIAS applies to entering Bosnia; the country runs its own visa policy that mirrors the Schengen Annex II list. The only practical formality is registration: any foreigner staying in private accommodation must register with the local police or the Service for Foreigners' Affairs within 48 to 72 hours of arrival; hotels, hostels and most paid lodgings handle this automatically at check-in. Passport validity should comfortably exceed the planned stay (official guidance cites at least three months beyond departure as a safe margin, though EU citizens in practice need a document valid for the duration of stay). No visa fee applies for short tourist visits.
