Open SVG cardPassport and transit notes
- Passport validity
- Serbia's general entry requirements require a valid travel document, or a valid identity card where a bilateral agreement or Serbian Government decision allows it. Use a practical validity buffer because carriers can apply stricter checks.
- Validity source (opens in a new tab) Validity guide
- Transit
- airside transit: conditional; landside transit: not required; Transit depends on whether the traveller crosses Serbian border control, ticketing and onward-entry documents. Serbia's MFA says the Schengen/UK/EU/US visa or residence-permit exemption can also cover transit for eligible holders.

Why this verdict
Chinese citizens are visa-free for ordinary short visits to Serbia according to the Serbia MFA country page. This guidance is intentionally conservative: diplomatic/service passports, emergency or convention travel documents, work, study, residence, border routing, carrier checks, transit control and document-based exemptions can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official source before booking.
