Apply for your Portugal visa from Serbia

Serbian citizens holding biometric passports do not need a visa for Portugal for stays up to 90 days within a 180-day period. However, those with passports issued by the Serbian Coordination Directorate (Koordinaciona uprava) or non-biometric passports generally require a Schengen visa. By late 2026, all visa-exempt Serbian travelers will need a valid ETIAS authorization to enter.

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 Portugal online and receive expert guidance throughout the process.

Serbian nationals with biometric passports can stay in Portugal 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.

Serbian citizens with biometric passports do not need a transit visa for Portugal, whether transiting airside or landside. However, those with passports from the Serbian Coordination Directorate (Koordinaciona uprava) still require a visa. By late 2026, all visa-exempt Serbian travelers will need a valid ETIAS for transit.

Serbian nationals with biometric passports can extend their stay by applying at an AIMA office. Extensions are typically granted for an additional 90 days for justified reasons like medical emergencies, business needs, or unforeseen events. You must apply before your initial 90-day period expires and provide proof of funds and accommodation.
