Want to visit Nikola Tesla or Novak Djokovic’s Home Country? Here’s our Serbia Tourist Visa Guide for Philippine Passport Holders.

Serbia is one of the most underrated European countries though famous people like the genius inventor, Tesla, or the best male tennis player, Djokovic, is from there. Serbia has is filled with natural wonders and many mysteries. You would surely be in awe when you visit this charming country in the Balkans. It’s also near Montenegro, so if you have a correct visa, you can also catch up with Kach and Jon in their home.

Serbia has no consul or Embassy in the Philippines. Applications are made through mail to the Serbian Embassy in Indonesia. They handle the application for Filipinos and most Southeast Asian countries. I highly recommend also e-mailing their consular office so that your application is smooth and payments are exact.

Serbia Fun Facts

  • There are 5 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Serbia, all are Cultural
  • Raspberries, anyone? Well, you can get unlimited raspberries in Serbia as they are the largest exporters of this fruit.
  • If anyone asks you to give a Serbian Word, then you can tell them ‘VAMPIR’ (Vampire). A modern vampire encounter was in this country during 1725. Petar Blagojević was supposedly risen from the dead and killed people and drank their blood. His corpse was found to be preserved with fresh blood traces on his mount (creepy!). So, villagers stabbed him, and the murders stopped.
  • Want another weird mystery? Well, Mount Ratanj is shaped like a pyramid. There are many tales about it; there once was a castle where a wizard lived; is that it has a portal to another dimension, or that aliens land there.
  • Serbians are hospitable as they believed it is unlucky to treat guests badly

    I’m Jennifer Arpon from Manila Philippines I have planned to travel to Serbia with my 3 y/o son to visit a loved ones. Where I start to apply for a visit visa? What I need to do? Thanks… God bless

  3. Hi I’m a philippine passport holder and I have 5 years multiple JAPAN tourist visa. Am I exempted to apply for Serbia tourist visa? I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you!

  4. Hi. I will travel next week to Serbia with my Deutsche bf. I have a Residence permit from Germany as i am working currently as a Nurse. We will just stay there for one week. We only have bought one way ticket, because we will travel by car going home in Germany. Do i still need a visa to be able to enter to Serbia?

    1. If you have a resident permit, than you are visa-exempt. But, please also check Serbia’s protocols.

  5. my wife is filipina but she has irish long term visa sticker in her passport
    she can be visa on arrival in serbia

    1. “Visa is not required for passengers holding either a valid visa or residence permit issued by an EU member state, Schengen Area member state or the United States provided the period of stay does not exceed the expiry date of the document. Maximum stay of 90 days.”

      As long as she has a valid multiple entry visa, then she can go without applying for another one

  6. Can i travel to Serbia and bosnia /herzegovina without applying for a visa? I have a valid US visa ten years multiple entry. Thanks. I’m from Philippines.

  7. Moj sin se zaljubio u devojku sa Filipina.Nisu se videli ali se čuju svaki dan i vide putem skyp-a.Mi roditelji takodjer pričamo sa njom.Ali je već tri puta odbijena za Srbiju i to nam je jako žao i strašno.Dvoje koji se vole ne mogu da se vide i venčaju jer im to Srbija ne dozvoljava.

  8. Good day. I would like to verify with you. I have a 10yr multiple entry U.S. visa. So I can just purchase tickets without need for a Serbia visa? Thank you.

    1. You can use a multiple entry US VISA to enter Serbia. I have been to Serbia 5 times since 2012. The first 2 times I applied via the Embassy in Jakarta until I got my US B1/B2 which I used for the next 3 entries. Serbia is fast becoming a tourist destination – I’ve been on almost all of them on road trips. You can also use your US VISA to enter Montenegro and Bosnia. Going further you’ll need a Schengen Visa, coz we highly recommend crossing over to Slovenia (via Croatia) or Hungary and Austria. Enjoy!

      1. Hi Emma, would just like to clarify:
        When you entered Serbia or Montenegro using US visa, did you travel from the Philippines? I have never used my US visa to enter other countries, but planning to do so since I have no time and patience to apply for a Schengen visa. Thanks.
