Getting into Serbia does not constitute a problem for most European nationals. You then need to obtain no visa for entering Serbia. Citizens of USA, Canada, Israel, Singapore, Japan and Australia do not need visas either for stays up to 90 days. Citizens of the EU and Bosnia need only an ID card, but EU citizens may be hassled for not having a passport. Check with your nearest Serbian embassy for current and detailed information. Serbia announced that visitors with Kosovan visas or passport stamps will not be allowed into the country. Currently, however, this is not the case, but the visas and stamps will be overstamped with a "cancelled" stamp. Be warned that entering Serbia through Kosovo without a Serbian entry stamp is considered as an illegal entry and can be met with stiff penalties; likewise, leaving Serbia via Kosovo is not considered legally leaving the country, so you run the risk of being charged with overstaying your entry permit if you leave Serbia via Kosovo. Customs controls are fairly straightforward, but a notable regulation is that you are allowed to move only 120,000 Serbian dinars into and out of the country, and notes larger than 1000 dinars are not allowed to move across the border.

The Most Frequently Asked Travel Questions about Serbia

Like neighbouring Bosnia and Croatia, foreigners are required by law to register themselves with the police station in their district within 12 h of receiving a Serbian entry stamp at a border crossing or airport.

Registration is done automatically by hotel staff upon check-in; however, if you are staying with friends in a private dwelling, you must register your presence with the police in the district in which you are staying.

You should receive the bottom part of the Foreigner Registration Form to carry with you if registering at a police station, or a printout from hotel reception if staying at a hotel; when exiting the country, you may be required to present it to the Border Police. Sometimes, they will not ask for it, and you can keep it as an administrative memento. Never forget that failure to register could result in prosecution and a large fine although that is rarely enforced.
