What happens at the border

1
Apply for e-Visa online
Go to the official Kosovo e-Visa portal (e-viza.rks-gov.net). Fill in your personal details, passport info, travel dates, and upload scanned copies of your passport bio page and a recent passport-style photo. Pay the visa fee (around €30–€40) with a credit or debit card. Processing usually takes 3–5 business days. You'll receive the approved visa by email — print it out and keep a digital copy on your phone.
2
Prepare your documents
Before you leave, gather: your printed e-Visa, passport (valid 6+ months), return/onward ticket, first night accommodation booking, and travel insurance if you have it. Keep these in your carry-on, not checked luggage.
3
Arrive at Pristina International Airport
At passport control, hand over your passport and printed e-Visa. The officer may ask to see your return ticket and accommodation booking. Answer questions clearly — typical questions include purpose of visit, length of stay, and where you're staying. The process usually takes 2–5 minutes.

Receive entry stamp
Once approved, the officer stamps your passport with your entry date and the allowed stay duration. Check the stamp before leaving the counter — if the dates look wrong, ask for correction immediately.
