Kosovo: bra att veta före resan

Det viktigaste

  • 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.

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.

Passets giltighet: British visitors: undamaged passport valid for the duration of the stay.

Vid gränsen kan man fråga efter

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