Kosovo : à savoir avant de partir

L’essentiel

  • Check current advice for northern municipalities and border crossings.
  • A journey directly from Kosovo into Serbia can be refused without an accepted Serbian entry stamp.
  • Carry cash: card acceptance is uneven, especially at smaller businesses.

Entrée et visas

British visitors may stay visa-free up to 90 days; US visitors up to 90 days within six months. Check registration through your host or local police. Serbia may refuse entry directly from Kosovo without an appropriate prior Serbian entry stamp; plan the route before travelling.

Validité du passeport: British visitors: undamaged passport valid for the duration of the stay.

À la frontière, on peut vous demander

  • Confirm address registration with your host; US official advice specifies reporting within 3 days.

Argent

On paie surtout en espèces. Cartes acceptées surtout en ville et dans les lieux touristiques.

Réseaux de paiement : Visa, Mastercard

Apple Pay — fonctionne par endroits · Google Pay — pas de données

  • Larger chains and supermarkets usually accept cards; small shops, restaurants and bars may not. ATMs are easier to find in cities.
  • Apple lists this country for Apple Pay with participating banks/cards; actual payment also depends on the merchant and card issuer.
