Visas to the U.S.
Welcome to the Visa section of the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade, Serbia, an official source of information about United States visa policy
and procedures. We hope you'll use this site to learn about different types
of U.S. visas, the application process, and to better understand the requirements
for obtaining a U.S. visa.
A citizen of a foreign country, wishing to enter the U.S., generally must
first obtain a visa, either a nonimmigrant visa for temporary stay, or an
immigrant visa for permanent residence. The type of visa you require is defined
by immigration law, and relates to the purpose of your travel.

Valid Visas in Old Federal Republic of Yugoslavia Passports:
Serbian citizens with valid U.S. visas in an expired or cancelled Yugoslav passport may travel with their old Federal Republic of Yugoslavia passport and new Serbian passport together. Please note: the dates of validity of the U.S. visa in the old passport must be current and there should be no cancellation stamps or holes punched through the visa itself. The biodata information (name, date and place of birth, etc.) in both passports must match exactly. When traveling to the United States, you must show both your new Serbian passport and your valid U.S. visa (in your old passport) to airline officials and U.S. border inspectors.
If you wish to apply for a new U.S. visa to be placed in your new Serbian passport, you must bring your valid U.S. visa in your old Federal Republic of Yugoslavia passport with you to the visa interview so that the old visa may be cancelled by the Consul. Issuance of a new U.S. visa is not automatic. You must apply and qualify for a brand new visa, and bring all required documents to the visa interview. Please see the following link for instructions on applying for a new U.S. visa: http://belgrade.usembassy.gov/consular/nv/apply.html.
