Travel insurance for Serbia

Travel insurance

Not required. No official source we have checked requires travel insurance to visit Serbia, and none publishes a minimum coverage amount for visitors.

Some visa services claim insurance is mandatory for Serbia and charge you for a policy. We found no official rule behind those claims, so we will not present it as one. Insurance may still be a sensible choice for your trip, but for Serbia it is your choice, not an entry rule. We watch for new mandates daily, and this page will say so if one appears.
