Can I enter Kosovo with EU ID card? - White visiting card with empty space for data placed on light pink background

Since June 2010 EU citizens can enter Serbia with ID card. I wonder if I can also enter Kosovo with ID card?



Best Answer

Kosovo has not yet defined a particular policy on this topic.

According to its Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there is no distinction based on the citizenship. Every citizen may therefore enter the country and stay for a maximum of 90 days. However, there are some rules to respect. You should be able to :

  • Have some valid travel documents (thus coming from a not recognized country may be an issue)
  • Prove you can pay for your expenses
  • Prove you will exit the territory (for example, having a return ticket)
  • Give a reason for travelling to Kosovo

After 90 days, a traveller must contact the Kosovo police to be registered, but it is unclear if the right to stay will be granted.

EDIT : See @Janusz answer, as the policy is now defined and EU citizens can enter with an ID card.

Answer 2

According to the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as a Bulgarian citizen you need a valid Bulgarian passport to enter Kosovo.

For citizens from other EU countries it is analogical. They need a valid passport of their home country. I have checked the sites of several ministries of foreign affairs. They all say the same thing.
