Overstay penalties

90 days

A stay is unlawful if the foreigner stays in Serbia more than 90 days in a 180-day period (or longer than an international agreement allows), or longer than the stay granted in the visa, or if the visa was annulled or revoked. A foreigner who stays unlawfully is fined 50,000 to 150,000 dinars and may also be given the protective measure of removal from Serbia. An entry ban is set case by case and not for longer than five years, unless the foreigner is a serious threat to the security of Serbia and its citizens.
