Travel requirements for Kosovo
Everything a UK traveller needs to know before visiting Kosovo — passport and visa rules, recommended vaccines with lead times, and whether you need an International Driving Permit.
Entry requirements for Kosovo
Passport validity
To enter Kosovo, your passport must be undamaged and valid for the duration of your stay. You do not need an additional period of validity beyond this.
Check with your travel provider that your passport and other travel documents meet requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.
You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.
Visas
British passport holders do not normally need a visa for short tourist stays.
