No visa on arrival — plan ahead
Myanmar passport holders cannot get a visa at the border or online. You must apply at a Serbian embassy or consulate before you travel. Start the process at least 3 weeks in advance.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Serbia, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, renew it before applying.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for a visa at the Serbian embassy
Contact the nearest Serbian embassy or consulate in your country of residence. Submit the visa application form, your passport, passport photos, flight itinerary, accommodation booking, and travel insurance. Pay the visa fee (around €60–€80 depending on the embassy). Processing takes 7–14 days.
2
Prepare your documents for travel
Once your visa is approved, make sure you have a printed copy of the visa sticker in your passport, your return ticket, accommodation confirmation, and travel insurance. Keep these in your carry-on.

Arrive at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (or other entry point)
At immigration, present your passport with the visa, your return ticket, and accommodation proof. The officer may ask about your plans — answer clearly. They will stamp your passport with the entry date and the allowed stay (usually up to 90 days, as per your visa).
