What happens at the border
1
Apply for e-Visa online
Go to the official Kosovo e-Visa portal (e-viza.rks-gov.net). Fill in your personal details, passport info, travel dates, and upload scanned copies of your passport bio page and a recent passport-style photo. Pay the visa fee (around €30–€40) with a credit or debit card. Processing usually takes 3–5 business days. You'll receive the approved visa by email — print it out and keep a digital copy on your phone.
2
Prepare your documents
Before you leave, gather: your printed e-Visa, passport (valid 6+ months), return/onward ticket, first night accommodation booking, and travel insurance if you have it. Keep these in your carry-on, not checked luggage.
3
Arrive at Pristina International Airport
At passport control, hand over your passport and printed e-Visa. The officer may ask to see your return ticket and accommodation booking. Answer questions clearly — typical questions include purpose of visit, length of stay, and where you're staying. The process usually takes 2–5 minutes.
4
Receive entry stamp
Once approved, the officer stamps your passport with your entry date and the allowed stay duration. Check the stamp before leaving the counter — if the dates look wrong, ask for correction immediately.
