Do Albanian citizens need a visa for Serbia?

Citizens of Albania with ordinary passports do not need a visa for visits to Serbia of up to 90 days within a six-month period, according to the Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ visa regime page; a national identity card can also be used to enter. Serbia is not part of the Schengen area and applies its own visa rules.

The most frequent applications and the documents the Albanian authorities ask for:
