Kosovo is not part of the EU or the Schengen area but uses the euro. German citizens do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days and can enter with a valid passport or identity card. From 15 March 2026, registration checks are stricter: foreign travellers must register within three days of entry at a border crossing or the nearest police station. The Green Card is not valid in Kosovo, so a vehicle registered in Germany requires local border insurance, available at border crossings or online via the Kosovo Insurance Bureau. Entering Serbia from Kosovo is only possible if travellers first entered Kosovo from Serbia and the total trip does not exceed three months.
