Frequently asked questions
With complete documents, it can be processed in as little as 1 hour. However, it's wise to apply at least a few days before your trip to account for any delays.
No, the eVisa is not extendable. You must leave before it expires. If you need to stay longer, you'd have to leave and re-enter or apply for a different type of visa from abroad.
The eVisa typically allows a stay of up to 90 days within a 180-day period, but check your approval letter for the exact dates. The database doesn't specify a different limit, so assume the standard.
No, the eVisa is entirely online. You don't need to go to a Serbian embassy or consulate. Just apply through the official portal.
You'll be denied entry and likely put on the next flight back. There's no visa-on-arrival for Tunisian passport holders, so don't risk it.
The standard eVisa is usually single-entry. If you plan to leave Serbia and come back, you'd need a new eVisa. Check your approval for specifics.
The currency is the Serbian dinar (RSD). You can exchange money at the airport or ATMs, but it's a good idea to have a small amount of cash for taxis or snacks. Credit cards are widely accepted in cities.
