Singapore to Bosnia and Herzegovina visa requirements

Singapore ordinary passport holders can visit Bosnia and Herzegovina visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. No visa, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival is required. As of 2026, Singapore citizens holding an ordinary passport enjoy visa-free entry to Bosnia and Herzegovina (BA) for short stays. The allowance is up to 90 days within a 180-day (six-month) period, counted from the date of initial entry, provided the visit is for tourism, business, or transit and no paid employment is sought. Bosnia and Herzegovina is NOT a member of the Schengen Area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do NOT apply here; BA operates its own independent 90/180-day visa-waiver regime. Although BA is an EU candidate country and aligns parts of its visa policy with the EU, it has not yet joined Schengen as of mid-2026. Travelers should hold a passport valid for at least three months beyond the intended departure date (six months is recommended), and should be ready to show proof of accommodation, onward/return travel, and sufficient funds at the border. The verdict is confirmed by the Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs official travel page for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
