Kosovo citizens still no tourist visas from Western European countries

Despite warnings that tourist visas would be allowed from June, such a thing has not yet been decided. Apart from urgent cases, Kosovars cannot move to any country where visas are required.

The German Embassy in Pristina in a response to Telegrafi, has said that due to current restrictions in Germany, tourists are still not allowed.

“due to current travel restrictions for tourist purposes are still not allowed. As a result, it cannot be applied at this time, nor can tourist visas be issued. At present, we cannot give any predictions about when the limits could be lifted”, the response given to Telegrafi.

Likewise, Greece's Interconnection Office in Pristina has stressed to Telegrafi that borders are closed, and that they do not provide tourist visas.
