Take a photo of your passport's main page and your entry stamp. If you lose your passport, this makes getting an emergency replacement much easier.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Pristina International Airport
You'll land at Pristina International Airport (PRN). Follow signs to 'Arrivals' and join the queue for non-Kosovo passport holders. Have your passport and boarding pass ready.
2
Present your passport to the border officer
Hand over your passport. The officer will check your photo, validity, and may ask your purpose of visit, length of stay, and where you're staying. Answer clearly and briefly.
3
Receive your entry stamp
If everything's in order, the officer stamps your passport with the entry date and the number of days allowed (usually 90). Check the stamp before walking away.
4
Collect your luggage and exit
After the passport check, head to baggage claim, then customs. There's usually no customs declaration for personal items. Walk through the green channel if you have nothing to declare.
