What happens at the border

Apply for the e-Visa online
Go to the official Kosovo e-Visa portal (e-viza.rks-gov.net) and fill out the application. Upload a scanned copy of your passport bio page, a passport-sized photo, and your travel details. Pay the fee (around €30–€50 depending on processing speed) with a credit or debit card. Submit and wait for approval — typically 3–5 business days.

The officer will stamp your passport with your entry date and the allowed stay (usually up to 90 days within 180 days). Check the stamp before leaving the counter. If anything looks wrong, ask the officer to correct it.
