Requirements to enter Bosnia and Herzegovina

To enter Bosnia and Herzegovina, you need a passport valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure date and enough blank pages for stamps.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, but many nationalities can enter for short-term stays without a visa for up to 90 days within a six-month period. You must also be able to prove you have sufficient funds for your stay, typically 150.00 BAM (about $83) per day.

As an applicant country for membership in the European Union, Bosnia and Herzegovina maintains visa policy similar to the visa policy of the Schengen Area. Bosnia and Herzegovina grants visa-free entry to all Schengen Annex II nationalities except Kosovo.
