Frequently Asked Questions
Do US citizens need a visa to visit Bosnia and Herzegovina?
No. US citizens do not need a visa to visit Bosnia and Herzegovina for tourism or business. American passport holders can enter visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. No visa application, pre-approval, or invitation letter is required. Just bring your valid US passport. Note that Bosnia and Herzegovina is not part of the European Union or the Schengen Area so your 90 days here do not count toward your Schengen limit. AA Passport & Visa helps with passport renewal before your Balkans trip. Call 972-231-1600.
Is Bosnia and Herzegovina part of the Schengen Area?
No. Bosnia and Herzegovina is not a member of the European Union or the Schengen Area. This is actually good news for US travelers planning a combined Balkans and European trip because your days in Bosnia and Herzegovina do not count toward your 90-day Schengen allowance. You can visit Bosnia and Herzegovina and then continue to EU Schengen countries with your full 90-day Schengen allowance intact. This makes Bosnia an excellent addition to any European itinerary.
What documents do US citizens need to enter Bosnia and Herzegovina?
You need a valid US passport with at least 6 months validity beyond your planned return date. Bosnia and Herzegovina border officials may ask for a return or onward flight ticket and proof of accommodation. You should also register with local police within 24 hours of arrival — hotels do this automatically but private accommodation hosts must register you. AA Passport & Visa helps ensure your passport is current before your Bosnia trip. Call 972-231-1600.
Is Sarajevo safe to visit from Dallas and what should I know?
Sarajevo is generally safe for tourists and has become an increasingly popular destination for American travelers. The city has a fascinating multicultural history as the site of the 1984 Winter Olympics and the events that sparked World War I. The US Embassy advises normal precautions for travelers. Landmines from the 1990s conflict still exist in some rural and mountainous areas outside marked tourist paths so stick to established trails when hiking. AA Passport & Visa recommends registering your trip at step.state.gov before departing.
