Austrian visa policy for Serbian citizens
Serbian citizens do not currently need a visa to visit Austria for short stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period for tourism or business. However, once the new travel authorization system is operational, Serbian travelers will need to obtain an ETIAS authorization before entering Austria or any other Schengen Area country. The system is currently expected to be fully implemented by the end of 2026.
Serbia citizens will need one Austrian entry document:
Serbia citizens will need one Austrian entry document:
- ETIAS for Austria: A mandatory online travel authorization for visa-exempt travelers visiting the Schengen Area. Once implemented, it will allow Serbians to enter Austria for short stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period for tourism, business, or transit. It will be valid for 3 years or until the traveler’s passport expires.
General Austria entry requirements for Serbian travelers are: - Serbia passport valid for at least 3 months after the planned departure date from the Schengen Area
- Confirmed return or onward flight ticket
- Proof of accommodation (hotel reservation or invitation letter)
- Evidence of sufficient funds for the duration of the stay

Frequently asked questions about getting the Austria visa with a Serbia passport
Do Serbian citizens need a visa for Austria?
Serbian citizens holding biometric passports do not need a visa for Austria for stays up to 90 days within a 180-day period.
By late 2026, all visa-exempt Serbian travelers will need a valid ETIAS authorization to enter.
What is the processing time for ETIAS for Austria for Serbian citizens?
The ETIAS system has not launched yet, so official processing times have not been confirmed.
Most applications are expected to be processed quickly once the system becomes operational. With iVisa, you can apply for the ETIAS for Austria online and receive expert guidance throughout the process.
How long can Serbian nationals stay in Austria?
Serbian nationals with biometric passports can stay in Austria for up to 90 days within any 180-day period without a visa. This limit applies to the entire Schengen Area. Holders of passports issued by the Serbian Coordination Directorate still require a visa.
For longer stays, a residency or temporary visa is necessary. Starting in late 2026, an ETIAS will be required.
Can Serbian nationals extend their stay in Austria?
Extensions are generally not possible.
