Bosnia and Herzegovina with a Schengen visa: visa-free on a multiple-entry visa, with a continuous-stay cap
Visa-free with a valid multiple-entry Schengen, EU-state or US visa (or Schengen/EU permanent residence): 90 days in 180 with a cap on each continuous stay (sources give 30 or 15 days; verify). Rules change without notice; the official source is linked below and was read on 2026-08-17.
The rule, quoted
The Embassy of Bosnia and Herzegovina's visa page states that citizens of countries with which Bosnia and Herzegovina has a visa regime may enter without a visa if they hold a "valid multiple entry Schengen visa or USA visa or EU state visa or a permanent residency permit in a Schengen or an EU state", for "up to 90 days in any 180-day period, provided that the one continuous stay in Bosnia and Herzegovina cannot be longer than 30 days".
An honest note on the cap
The Ministry of Security's information page for aliens, as reported in secondary summaries at the time of our check, describes the same exemption with a continuous-stay limit of 15 days and a condition that the traveller arrives from a Schengen state, an EU state or a readmission-agreement country. We could not open that page directly when this article was written. Two official sources therefore differ on the length of a single stay; treat 15 days as the safe planning figure and confirm with the Embassy before travel.
What it means for you
- Multiple-entry Schengen visa required (single-entry does not qualify).
- Total stay 90 in 180; individual stays capped.
- Indian nationals otherwise need a visa for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Verify before you fly
Check both the Embassy's visa page and the Ministry of Security's aliens information page, and ask the nearest mission if they still differ.
