Passport and transit notes
- Passport validity recommendation
- The current KD MID country table confirms the entry route but does not publish a universal numeric passport-validity or blank-page threshold for every ordinary-passport route. Confirm the exact visa or bilateral document rule with the official source and responsible consular channel.

- Transit recommendation
- landside transit: conditional; The reviewed official country table and eVisa portal do not publish a universal airside-transit-without-visa rule. Airport, ticketing, baggage, authorized crossing-point and border-control handling can change the answer; confirm the exact itinerary with the operating carrier and Russian consular channel. Crossing Russian border control follows the entry route shown on this page.

Why this verdict
Serbian citizens are mapped from Russia's KD MID official entry-conditions table for ordinary short visits. This guidance is intentionally conservative: bilateral exemptions, biometric passport conditions, diplomatic/service passports, APEC cards, crew routes, work, study, sanctions, overland border rules, airline routing and transit control can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official source before booking.
