Vanuit het Schengengebied reizen met een paspoort van Kosovo

Opmerkingen en voorwaarden

De woorden die onze visumcheck bij deze antwoorden zet, in het Engels, genummerd zoals de tabel ernaar verwijst.

1. 1. EU law (Regulation (EU) 2018/1806, Annex II) exempts your nationality from the Schengen visa for stays of no more than 90 days in any 180-day period, but only with a biometric passport issued by Kosovo in line with ICAO standards. The Entry/Exit System (EES) has been fully operational at all external Schengen border crossing points since 10 April 2026. If you hold a long-stay visa or residence permit issued by a country operating the EES, you are not registered in it; holders of residence permits and long-stay visas issued by Cyprus or Ireland are registered. If you come for a short stay, on a short-stay visa or with no visa, you are registered in it at your first crossing. Terug naar de tabel
