Do French passport holders need a visa for Bosnia & Hercegovina?

Covers 11 passports and 80 destinations. Rules older than 30 days are flagged for re-check.

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. French passport holders can visit Bosnia and Herzegovina for up to 90 days.

A valid French passport is required and must remain valid for 3 months after the planned return date. Foreign nationals staying more than 3 days must register with the police within 48 hours of arrival; official hotels and youth hostels handle registration for guests. For stays of 3 days or more at a campsite or private residence, travelers or their host must register in person.
