The eVisa can be approved in as little as 1 hour, but that's only if your documents are perfect. Apply at least a week before your trip to avoid stress.
No visa extensions
The Serbian eVisa cannot be extended. Overstaying can lead to fines, deportation, and a ban from entering Serbia in the future. Keep track of your allowed stay.
Use the official portal only
Apply only at https://welcometoserbia.gov.rs/. Third-party sites may charge extra fees or be scams. The official site is the only one you need.
