Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| E-visaYou need to get this visa online before you fly – there is no visa-on-arrival for Serbian passport holders. Apply before travel | Serbian citizens must obtain an e-visa before traveling to Liberia. Apply online at the official Liberia e-visa portal (evisa.gov.lr). The e-visa must be approved prior to departure. | Required |
| Passport validityMake sure your passport doesn't expire too soon – it must be valid for half a year after you arrive. At least 6 months | Your Serbian passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of entry into Liberia. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesYou need an empty page in your passport for the immigration officer to stamp when you enter. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must contain at least one blank visa page for the entry stamp. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketIt's a good idea to have a ticket out of Liberia ready in case they ask – it's common at many borders. May be requested | Although not explicitly required in the database, immigration officials may ask for proof of a return or onward ticket. Carry a printed copy of your itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of fundsHaving a bank statement or card can help show you can support yourself during your visit. May be requested | While not listed as a strict requirement, be prepared to show evidence of sufficient funds for your stay (e.g., bank statement, credit card). | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou don't need to fill out any special arrival form – just go through normal immigration. Not required | No arrival declaration form is required for Liberia based on current regulations. | Not required |
Yellow fever vaccine is mandatory
You must have a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate to enter Liberia. Without it, you may be denied entry or forced to get vaccinated at the airport (which is not always available). Get the shot at least 10 days before travel.
No visa on arrival or e-visa
There is no way to get a Liberian visa at the border or online. Plan ahead and apply at a Liberian embassy or consulate well before your trip.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for a visa at a Liberian embassy
Contact the nearest Liberian embassy or consulate (e.g., in London, Paris, or Washington, D.C.) to submit your visa application. Provide your passport, completed form, passport photos, flight itinerary, and accommodation proof. Pay the visa fee — typically around $100–$150 USD. Processing can take 5–10 business days.
2
Prepare your documents for travel
Before you fly, print or save digital copies of your visa approval, passport, flight tickets, hotel booking, and travel insurance. Keep them easily accessible — not buried in your luggage.
3
Arrive at Roberts International Airport (ROB)
Upon landing in Monrovia, proceed to immigration. Present your passport with the visa sticker, your return ticket, and accommodation details. The officer may ask about your purpose of visit and length of stay. Answer clearly and briefly.

Collect your luggage and exit
After immigration, collect your bags from the carousel and proceed through customs. There are no arrival declaration forms for Serbian citizens.
