Frequently asked questions

The official processing time can be as fast as 1 hour if your application is complete and all documents are correct. In practice, allow a few business days for processing, especially during peak travel seasons. You'll receive the eVisa by email.
The fee is paid online during the application. The exact amount is set by the Serbian government and is usually around €60–€80, but check the official portal (welcometoserbia.gov.rs) for the current fee. Payment is made by credit or debit card.
No, the eVisa is not extendable. You must leave Serbia before your authorized stay expires. If you need to stay longer, you'll have to leave and apply for a new visa from your home country or a Serbian embassy/consulate.
It's recommended to print a copy of the eVisa and keep it with your passport. You can also show the digital version on your phone, but having a paper copy avoids any issues if your phone battery dies or the border officer prefers a physical document.
If your application is rejected, you'll receive a notification with the reason. You can reapply with corrected information or contact the Serbian embassy in Morocco for guidance. The visa fee is typically non-refundable.
No, a Schengen visa does not grant entry to Serbia. You need a separate Serbian visa. The eVisa is the easiest way for Moroccan citizens to get one.
