Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |

| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Kosovo | Immigration officers at Pristina International Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready. | Recommended |

Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Kosovo, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, you'll be turned away.
No visa extension available
The 90-day visa-free stay cannot be extended. If you overstay, you risk fines and a potential ban. Plan your exit carefully.
What happens at the border

Prepare your documents
Before you travel, check your passport validity (6+ months from entry), book a return/onward ticket, and arrange accommodation. Save screenshots of your flight and hotel confirmations on your phone.
