Why this verdict

Indian citizens are mapped from the Bosnia and Herzegovina MFA country-specific inbound visa paragraph as visa-required for ordinary-passport short visits. Special diplomatic, service or official-passport exemptions are outside this ordinary-passport row. This guidance is intentionally conservative: special residence permits, diplomatic/service passports, work, study, airline routing, border checks and transit control can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official source before booking.
