Serbian passport holders can enter Spain without a visa for stays up to 90 days in any 180-day Schengen period. Barcelona, Madrid, and the Canary Islands are popular with Serbian travelers.
Great news! Serbia passport holders can enter Spain without a visa for tourism or business purposes. You can stay up to 90 days.
No visa is required for Schengen stays up to 90 days. Your Serbian biometric passport must be valid throughout your stay. The 90-day Schengen limit is shared across all member states. The Canary Islands and Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca) are all part of Spain and covered by the same waiver. Ceuta and Melilla (Spanish enclaves in Morocco) are also technically Schengen but are not covered by the bilateral waiver for land entry from Morocco.
Spain 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 →

What is Spain's Digital Nomad Visa and can Serbian citizens use it?
Yes. Spain introduced a Digital Nomad Visa (Visa para Trabajadores a Distancia de Caracter Internacional) in 2023. It allows remote workers earning at least 2,334 EUR per month (200% of the Spanish minimum wage) from non-Spanish clients or employers to live in Spain for up to 5 years. Serbian citizens who meet the financial threshold and work remotely can apply at the Spanish Embassy in Belgrade.
Is the Schengen calculator useful for planning trips to Spain combined with other countries?
Very much so. Serbian tourists who plan to visit Spain in summer, then France or Italy later in the year, should use the EU Schengen short-stay calculator (ec.europa.eu/home-affairs) to ensure their combined days do not exceed the 90-day allowance within any 180-day window.
