Serbia Visa Guide for Pakistanis 2026
Serbia sits outside both the EU and Schengen area, so it needs its own visa application. Here’s what Pakistani applicants need for 2026.
Do Pakistani Citizens Need a Visa for Serbia?
Yes. Pakistani passport holders need a visa before travelling to Serbia. As Serbia is outside both the EU and the Schengen area, a Schengen visa does not cover entry — a separate Serbian visa application is required through the nearest Serbian embassy or consulate.

- Bank statements for the last 6 months
