You have to apply here:

EMBASSY OF THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA

Telex: 69-139 YUAMBA IA

Telefax: 314-36-13

You cannot get a visa on arrival!

These are the documents you need:

Valid Passport;

Letter of invitation (verified by the competent Serbian authority) or an invitation by a company for a business visit or a receipt or authorized tourist company certifying that the travel arrangement has been paid for (letter of credit or other payment receipt);

Return ticket;

Proof of sufficient funds in hard currency and

Certificate that a health fund shall cover the medical costs in Serbia, if any.

  Thanks for your quick reply markoristic.

  I am interested in one thing. How can I apply to an embassy in Indonesia? Do I have to come there in person ( it is very far and expensive ) or can I send passport and other documents with mail or e-mail?

  Thanks again for any answers

You will have to contact the embassy and they will let you know.

I guess you can apply by mail, but call them.

In case you have to go there you can fly with Air Asia via Kuala Lumpur.

  Theoretically, there are two ways of resolving such situations

  1) Passport is mailed to the embassy by register, and then mailed back to you, hopefully with your visa in it

  2) Copy of passport is sent to the embassy by fax, and your visa, in form of a sticker, is mailed to you by register; all you have to do is stick your visa in the passport

    I have no idea if nor how this works on principle; try phoning the embassy in Jakarta, or finding someone from Jakarta (using HC/CS) willing to phone the embassy and inquire on your behalf.

    Good luck, and keep us posted

  Very good. I am happy to read about this, because you want to help me get my visa.

  Now I will try to send email to embassy and see what will happen. My friend tell me that regulations in Serbia are hard but they are not always put into practice. Maybe I will be lucky.

  That is a great idea bokonon! I know about hospitalityclub and it is possible that someone will help me if I cant do anything using email.

  Thank you and markoristic for your answers!

I can't get any details about getting a visa in Serbia.  I must say that Serbian embassy in Jakarta did not answer my email also.

Is it hard to get a visa for Serbia? I thought it is not a big problem, but I now see a different story.

[markoristic]

The best thing is to call them.

Don't expect them to answer your email.

If it is hard to get the visa or not, I think we are not eligible to answer that. You'll have to ask someone who needed and got serbian visa.

I got a reply from embassy in Jakarta and they only need copy of my passport, invitation letter from my friend and visa application form.

And they say I can send it with email and they will send it to Ministry of interior. I am surprised there isn't any interview or additional documents needed. Interesting really. So I wonder on what basis they actually decide whether someone will get visa or no.
