Requirements for Serbians
France is the most visited country in the world with close to 90 million tourists each year who come to visit its cities of cultural interest such as Paris, Lyon, and Strasbourg, ski resorts, beaches, picturesque villages, and more. France is also home to 37 UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Currently, Serbians traveling to France for tourism or business purposes do not need a visa. Starting from the end of 2022, however, citizens from 60 countries including Serbia will be required to obtain travel authorization with a maximum validity of 90 days prior to their trip. ETIAS visa waiver for France will be introduced in order to pre-screen any security threats to the country.

ETIAS France Personal Information
The applicants will be asked to fill in their full name corresponding to that in the passport, gender, place and date of birth, nationality, and contact information including their home address, phone number, and email address.
Furthermore, they will be required to provide the following passport details: country of issue, passport number, and passport issue and expiry dates. The passport must be valid for at least 3 months after the date of ETIAS application and less than 10 years old. If this is not the case, the applicant must obtain a new passport before applying for an ETIAS visa waiver. It is important to note that dual nationals who hold a passport from an EU country in addition to their Serbian passport, are required to enter France with the EU passport.
All the security information submitted in the application form will be cross-referenced across international and European criminal databases. It is, therefore, crucial that the details provided in the application form are correct and error-free.
Documents That I Need for France ETIAS
In order to obtain an ETIAS France for Serbians, travelers are required to have the following documents:
- A valid Serbian passport
- A valid and unexpired debit or credit card for paying the online ETIAS processing fee
- An active email address to which they will receive their ETIAS France status update and approval
Medical Information for Serbians
Medical care in France is expensive for foreigners. Except for emergencies, medical care can only be received after the visitor has paid for the treatment. That is why it is highly recommended to travel to France with travel insurance that offers good coverage for injuries, illnesses, and repatriation. For immediate medical attention in case of an emergency in France dial 15 or 122.
Although there are no medical or vaccination requirements for France at this time, it is wise to consult the Center for Disease Control (CDC) website for the latest information regarding any health warnings.
ETIAS Application for France for Serbian Citizens
To apply for an ETIAS travel authorization, Serbian passport holders will need to access the application form through the main page of the ETIAS France website.
After having filled in all the personal and passport details and answered the security questions, applicants can proceed with the payment of a small processing fee. The payment will be done through an online system that is completely secure. Candidates should then verify that all the provided information is correct and submit the form. Note that if there are any mistakes in the application, the approval process may be delayed.
ETIAS grants holders a stay of 90 days within any 180-day period. The total validity of the waiver is 3 years and travelers can enter France or any other Schengen member country multiple times during that period.
