Visa C — Short-Stay Visa (Viza C)

The Short-Stay Visa (Viza C) is governed by the Law on Aliens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, aligning the country's immigration framework with broader European standards. It was established to facilitate the entry of foreign nationals for temporary purposes, filling the gap for individuals who do not qualify for visa-free entry but require access to the country for limited durations. The visa allows for single or multiple entries, provided that the total duration of stay does not exceed 90 days within any 180-day period, ensuring a structured approach to short-term migration.

This visa is designed for tourists, business professionals, individuals seeking medical treatment, or those attending cultural, scientific, or sporting events. It is ideal for applicants who need to conduct short-term activities without intending to establish residency or engage in gainful employment. A distinctive feature is its strict limitation on purpose; it does not provide a legal basis for applying for temporary residence, making it a clear-cut solution for visitors who intend to return to their home country after their brief stay.
