Apply early — even though it's fast
The eVisa can be approved in 1 hour, but don't gamble. Apply at least 5–7 days before departure. If there's a technical glitch or a document issue, you'll have time to fix it.
Passport validity is non-negotiable
Serbian border control will deny entry if your passport has less than 6 months validity left. Check your passport today — if it's close, renew it before applying for the eVisa.
