Do German passport holders need a visa for Kosovo?

How this tool works

We read the official notice for each pair and record the date. Nothing here is generated; a pair with no written check is not shown.

No visa. German passport holders need no visa for entry and stays of up to 90 days in Kosovo.

The Auswärtiges Amt says German citizens need no visa for entry and stays of up to 90 days; a longer stay needs an extension requested 15 days before the 90 days end. Travel documents must still be valid for at least three months at entry, and Kosovo's interior ministry has checked this more strictly since 15 March 2026. A passport, provisional passport, ID card and child passport are accepted; the provisional ID card is not.
