Rules in force · 12Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…Mine-suspected land still exists in Bosnia and Herzegovin…The old town is car-free with cobbles and steps
  • Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
  • Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
  • Balkans ↗Mine-suspected land still exists in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in pockets of Croatia's former front line: outside towns keep to tarmac and waymarked paths, and treat red triangle signs and taped-off fields as absolute.
  • Balkans ↗Serbia refuses onward entry to travellers who reached Kosovo from a third country and then try to cross straight into Serbia; route Kosovo–Serbia legs through North Macedonia or Montenegro, or start the loop in Serbia.
  • Balkans ↗Hire cars need written permission from the rental company and valid insurance for every country on the line; Kosovo sells its own border insurance and some contracts exclude Albania, Kosovo or Bosnia outright.
  • Montenegro ↗Montenegro is outside the EU and Schengen area and sets its own entry rules; check the official requirements for your passport.
  • Montenegro ↗Accommodation must register foreign guests; hotels do it for you, but private rentals should too, so ask your host.
  • Montenegro ↗Croatia (Dubrovnik) and Albania (Shkodër) borders can have long queues in summer; allow extra time.
  • Bay of Kotor ↗Plan every leg around the bay by taxi, transfer or bus; distances are short but the coastal road is narrow and buses thin out in the evening.
  • Kotor ↗The old town is car-free with cobbles and steps: large suitcases go from the car park at the Sea Gate to the door, never on a longer walk.
  • Kotor ↗The fortress stair has no shade for long stretches: climb before 09:00 or after 17:00 from June to September, and carry water.
  • Kotor ↗On days with several cruise ships in port the old town is packed from about 09:00 to 16:00; plan the lanes for early morning or evening.
