Visiting Serbia: Tongan citizen → Serbia
You need a visa — Visa C (short-stay)
Tonga passport holders need a short-stay Visa C for Serbia (up to 90 days within any 180-day period) — apply personally at a Serbian Embassy or Consulate General, or online via the official portal for foreign nationals (welcometoserbia.gov.rs); holders of a valid Schengen, UK/EU or US visa or residence permit can instead enter visa-free.
The bottom line
- Visa C is issued for tourist, business and other travel, for one, two or more entries, and is valid for stays of up to 90 days within any period of 180 days from the date of first entry; a short-stay visa is not grounds for temporary residence.
- Since 23 April 2025 Serbia also issues visas electronically as a Digital Travel Authorization (where enabled for your passport on the welcometoserbia.gov.rs portal) alongside the traditional visa sticker.
- Regardless of nationality, holders of national passports with a valid Schengen, UK or EU member-state visa, or a US visa — or a residence permit of a Schengen-area country, the EU or the US — may enter, transit and stay in Serbia visa-free for up to 90 days in a 6-month period, within the validity of that visa or permit (2014 Government decision).
