No visa is required for stays up to 90 days. Your Serbian biometric passport must be valid for the duration of your stay. The 90-day limit is counted across all Schengen member states combined, not just Belgium. If you have spent days in other Schengen countries during the same 180-day window, those days count toward your 90-day allowance.
Belgium is part of the Schengen Area. Your stay counts toward the 90-day limit within any 180-day period for the entire Schengen zone. Learn more about Schengen rules →

Current Travel Situation
Serbia to Belgium: What You Need to Know
Belgium and Serbia have a bilateral visa waiver agreement, giving Serbian citizens visa-free access to Belgium as part of the broader Schengen framework. Brussels is a common destination for Serbian travelers attending EU institutions, trade fairs, and business meetings, given that Belgium hosts the main EU administrative bodies.
How to Get There
For stays longer than 90 days or for work, Serbian citizens must apply for a Belgian long-stay visa (Type D) at the Belgian Embassy in Belgrade. An EU Blue Card is available for high-skilled workers.
Money & Banking
Belgium uses the euro (EUR). Banking infrastructure is excellent; ATMs and card payments are accepted nearly everywhere. Serbian bank cards are generally compatible with Belgian ATM networks.
Practical Tips
Direct flights connect Belgrade (BEG) to Brussels Airport (BRU) via Air Serbia and other carriers. Brussels also has a well-connected rail network for onward travel within Europe. Keep records of your Schengen entry and exit stamps to avoid complications at border crossings.
