Egypt to Serbia visa requirements

Q: Is Serbia part of the Schengen Area?

No. Serbia is not in the Schengen Area, so a Schengen visa is not issued for Serbia. However, a valid Schengen, UK, US or EU visa lets you enter Serbia visa-free for up to 90 days within six months.

Q: How long can I stay in Serbia on a tourist visa?

The Type C short-stay visa allows up to 90 days within any 180-day period, counted from the date of first entry.

Q: How much does the Serbian tourist visa cost?

The Type C visa fee is EUR 90, paid in Serbian dinar at the National Bank of Serbia middle exchange rate, plus the cost of mandatory travel medical insurance.

Q: Do I need travel insurance for the visa?

Yes. You must hold travel medical insurance valid in Serbia with coverage of at least EUR 30,000 for the duration of your stay.

Q: Where do I apply for the Serbia eVisa?

Apply through Serbia's official portal at evisa.welcometoserbia.gov.rs. Avoid unofficial third-party sites that add markups.

Egyptian ordinary passport holders need a visa for Serbia, but since June 2025 they can apply online for a short-stay Type C (tourist) eVisa instead of visiting an embassy. Serbia is not in the Schengen Area, and its visa-free list does not include Egypt. Holders of ordinary Egyptian passports are therefore visa-required (only Egyptian diplomatic passport holders enjoy a 90-day visa waiver under a 2022 memorandum). The practical route for tourists is the Type C short-term eVisa, which Serbia launched on its official welcometoserbia.gov.rs portal in June 2025. The eVisa allows stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period and is applied for online before travel. The visa fee is EUR 90 (payable in Serbian dinar at the National Bank middle rate), and standard processing runs about 5 to 21 working days. Applicants must submit a valid passport, photo, proof of accommodation or an invitation, travel medical insurance covering at least EUR 30,000, proof of funds, and proof of fee payment. Note that holders of a valid Schengen, UK, US, or EU member-state visa may transit and stay in Serbia visa-free for up to 90 days within six months, which can be an alternative channel for Egyptian travelers who already hold such a visa.
