Bosnia & Herzegovina Tourist Visa 2026 · Last updated: July 2026 · Reviewed by the Gulliver Travels visa team
A Bosnia & Herzegovina tourist visa for UAE residents of any nationality. We prepare your file, arrange your appointment at the Embassy in Abu Dhabi — including urgent slots where available — and guide you through submission, start to finish.
It depends on your nationality. Emirati passport holders enter visa-free for up to 90 days. Most other UAE residents need a Bosnia tourist visa in advance — unless they hold a valid Schengen, US or UK visa, which allows visa-free entry for up to 30 days. Applications go through the Embassy of Bosnia & Herzegovina in Abu Dhabi, with standard processing of about 4–5 weeks and an urgent appointment option typically available within about 1 week. Gulliver Travels prepares your file and arranges the appointment for an all-inclusive AED 1,850 per person.

Bosnia & Herzegovina is one of the Balkans' most rewarding destinations from the UAE — Sarajevo's old town, the stone bridge at Mostar, and the emerald waters of Kravica. Because most UAE residents need a visa arranged in advance through the embassy, applying correctly and early matters. Here's everything you need to apply from Dubai.
A Bosnia & Herzegovina tourist visa is an official authorisation that lets you enter the country for tourism, sightseeing, or to visit friends and family. UAE residents of any nationality can apply through the Embassy of Bosnia & Herzegovina in Abu Dhabi — you don't need to be a UAE national, just hold a valid UAE residence visa and passport.
Applications are submitted in person at the Embassy in Abu Dhabi. Payments at the embassy are accepted by Visa or Mastercard only — no cash. Standard processing runs approximately 4 to 5 weeks after submission; an urgent appointment can typically be scheduled within about 1 week, subject to availability, which helps you get in front of the embassy sooner.
Gulliver Travels manages the entire process for you — confirming whether you actually need a visa, preparing a complete and consistent document set, arranging your appointment (including urgent booking where available), and guiding you through submission. See all our visa services →
Eligibility depends on your passport nationality and any existing visas you hold. Here's how it works for UAE residents in 2026.
Indian, Pakistani, Filipino, Egyptian, Nepali, African and most other passport holders generally need a Bosnia tourist visa arranged in advance, applied for through the Embassy in Abu Dhabi.
UAE (Emirati) passport holders are exempt from visa requirements for up to 90 days. EU, Schengen-area, Serbia, Montenegro and a handful of other nationalities can also enter visa-free or with an ID card.
If you hold a valid multiple-entry Schengen, US or UK visa, or a residence permit from a Schengen country, you can generally enter Bosnia visa-free for up to 30 days — no separate Bosnia visa needed.
A complete, consistent file is the single biggest factor in approval. Here's exactly what the embassy asks for.

We Handle ItMost refusals come down to avoidable errors. Knowing them — and having your file checked before submission — dramatically improves approval odds.
Missing NOC, salary certificate or bank statements means your application is rejected on the spot and a new appointment is required.
Your UAE residence visa should have solid remaining validity beyond your travel dates.
Statements should clearly reflect steady income matching your stated salary — inconsistent figures raise doubts.
A recent, correctly sized, white-background photo is required — an old or informal photo can hold up your file.
Your employer's NOC must be on letterhead, stamped and signed, and should clearly state your travel purpose and approved leave.
Overstaying any visa anywhere in the world can trigger extra scrutiny during your Bosnia application.
Practical steps from consultants who prepare Bosnia visa files every week.
With ~4–5 weeks standard processing, start your file 6+ weeks before travel wherever possible.
If your travel date is close, an urgent appointment can get you in front of the embassy within about a week, subject to availability.
Make sure your NOC, salary certificate and bank statements all tell the same consistent story.
The embassy accepts Visa or Mastercard payments only — plan accordingly on the day.
Bring both your original documents and copies to avoid an extra trip if anything is requested on the spot.
