Applying for a Kosovo tourist visa from India

Applying for a Kosovo tourist visa from India - Buildings on Hill

I am planning to visit Kosovo. I am from Bangladesh, currently staying in New Delhi, India. I don't know where the Kosovo Embassy in India is, nor where I apply for a visa.



Best Answer

Sorry, that visa is going to be pretty tough to get. You are required to get a visa for Kosovo in advance and applications must be made in person. The nearest embassies from India are in Japan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, each of which also require visas for Bangladeshi citizens.

That said, the answer to this previous question indicates that applying via mail is possible, so I recommend you get in touch with one of those embassies and see what they say.

    Answer 2

    In addition to the answer of jpatokal, the website of the Brussels embassy states

    Foreign citizens, subject to visa regime application, but bearers of valid multiple entry Schengen visa may enter the Republic of Kosovo and stay up to 15 days without having to obtain a Kosovo visa.

    This might be an option if your Kosovo stay is part of a Europe trip or in between other European travels. However, I was not able to confirm this information from the websites of the other embassies (I didn't check all of them, just a not very random sample). If you would go for this option, it appears wise to look for additional confirmation.

    Answer 3

    According to VisaHQ:

    Kosovo tourist visa is not required for citizens of Bangladesh for a stay up to 90 days.

    However, IATA seems to indicate that a visa is required and the KLM version of TIMATIC appears not to know of Kosovo.

    According to Wikipedia:

    VisaHQ maintains the world's most comprehensive database of international visa requirements).

    However, it seems it may have failed to update part of it over the past 3½ years (up until 1 July 2013 Kosovo did not require visas for anyone). CITB UK has:

    Yes, a visa is required to travel to this country.

    It has proved very reliable though at times slightly overstates the requirements (for example may fail to mention that visa on arrival is available). However the site goes on to mention:

    The embassy requires the applicant to apply for a visa in person.

    Which is clearly not practical for someone based in New Delhi (according to Embassy Worldwide there is a Kosovo Embassy in UK, but no embassy or consulate for Kosovo in India).

    The CIBT USA is less helpful, with the only choice for purpose of trip being "Connecting/Transit".

    So it may be worth contacting Embassy of the Republic of Kosovo in London:

    Address: Rr. John 8
    London WC1N 2ES UK
    e-mail: visa.london@rks-gov.net
    http://www.ambasada-ks.net/gb

    (London because English is more likely to be understood there) and seeking clarification of (a) what is required and (b) if a visa is, where and how to apply when based in India.

    Answer 4

    Foreigners who possess a valid multiple-entry Schengen visa don't need to obtain a Kosovo visa to enter, transit or stay in the territory of the Republic of Kosovo for up to 15 days, within a period of 6 months.
