One group agreement or destination policy can support many passport relationships. Dates are recorded only when an official source establishes them.

  1. Visa required

    Bosnia and Herzegovina: Gulf ordinary passports require a visa from 1 October 2026

    The MFA's current Bahrain, Oman and Saudi Arabia pages expressly require a visa for stays after 30 September 2026. The passport-only ordinary visitor baseline therefore becomes visa-required on 1 October 2026.

    • This future-dated baseline does not displace the seasonal exemption through 30 September 2026.
    • The country pages distinguish ordinary passports from special documents; the Saudi diplomatic/official-passport exception is not an ordinary-passport exemption.
    • This is the nationality-and-ordinary-passport baseline, not a determination of separate supporting-visa, residence-document, special-passport or individual exceptional routes.
    • No post-season visitor stay length or electronic-issuance route is established by these sources. Obtaining a visa does not itself guarantee admission.

  2. – Visa-free

    Bosnia and Herzegovina: Gulf seasonal waiver ends 30 September 2026

    Bahraini, Omani and Saudi ordinary-passport holders are exempt from a visa for entry, exit, transit and stay from 1 June through 30 September 2026, with no more than 60 days of stay in total within that window.

    • This policy concerns ordinary passports of the three named countries; diplomatic and official document arrangements are separate.
    • The 60-day allowance is aggregate within the fixed seasonal window, not 60 days per entry or permission to remain beyond 30 September 2026.
    • The current MFA pages expressly require a visa for stays after 30 September 2026. This seasonal exemption supplies no work or residence permission.

  3. Current official routeCitizenship

    Bosnia and Herzegovina ordinary passport: citizenship

    A traveller using an ordinary Bosnia and Herzegovina passport is classified as a BiH citizen, not as a foreign visitor under the visa regime.

    • The Border Police says that a BiH citizen who holds another citizenship is not considered a foreigner in the territory of BiH.
    • This classification does not establish entry treatment for a dual national presenting another state's passport, nor work, residence, transit or final border-control treatment.

    Named nationalities: Bosnia and Herzegovina general citizen visa exemption

    Current state-agency guidance expressly lists these nationalities under its general citizen visa-exemption schedule, rather than its separate ordinary-passport-agreement, diplomatic/official, or business-passport sections.

    • The cited schedule is a general citizenship exemption. This normalized ordinary-passport row is limited to a passport presented by a citizen of the named state; it does not transfer the exemption to a diplomatic, official, service, business, identity-card, seaman, emergency, refugee, alien or other special travel document.
    • The general statutory visa-free ceiling is up to 90 days in a six-month period from first entry, unless an applicable treaty or Council of Ministers decision provides otherwise. This grouped current schedule does not establish a different uniform duration for every nationality.
    • Work, residence, transit, admissibility, passport validity, carrier and final-border-control requirements remain separate.

    Brazil ordinary passports: Bosnia and Herzegovina visa-free entry with annual cap

    The live Brazilian Presidency decree promulgates the bilateral agreement: nationals holding valid national passports are visa-exempt for tourism, holidays or business for up to 90 days, capped at 180 days annually from first entry.

    • The agreement covers nationals of either party who hold valid national passports. This normalized row is limited to a Brazilian ordinary/national passport and does not extend the route to a diplomatic, official, service, business, identity-card, seaman, emergency, refugee, alien or other special travel document.
    • A stay may not exceed 90 days and the total length of stay may not exceed 180 days per year from first entry.
    • The treaty is stated to be valid indefinitely but permits diplomatic suspension or denunciation. The cited live legal record does not itself establish that no later diplomatic notification has occurred; final admission remains with Bosnia and Herzegovina authorities.
    • Work, residence, transit, admissibility, passport validity, carrier and final-border-control requirements remain separate.

    Philippine citizens: Bosnia and Herzegovina advance visa required

    Bosnia and Herzegovina's live MFA Philippines result expressly says Philippine citizens require a visa for entry, exit, or transit and identifies the responsible mission in Kuala Lumpur.

    • This is the short-visitor ordinary Philippine-passport baseline. The page states that Philippine citizens require a Bosnia and Herzegovina visa and says it shall be issued in Kuala Lumpur; it does not establish electronic issuance or a nationality-wide visa on arrival.
    • Diplomatic, official, residence, third-country-document, work, transit, and final border-admission exceptions are outside this baseline.

    Bosnia and Herzegovina: directly replayed residual ordinary-passport advance-visa cohort

    The MFA's current, individually selected nationality cards expressly require an entry/transit visa for this ordinary-passport residual cohort. The cards route issuance through a Bosnia and Herzegovina diplomatic or consular mission; this is an advance visa, not a nationality-wide eVisa or visa on arrival.

    • This is the ordinary visitor-passport baseline from the directly replayed MFA inbound country cards. It excludes diplomatic, official, service, business, residence, employment, transit-only and final-admission cases.
    • A separate conditional waiver for a traveller holding a qualifying multiple-entry Schengen, EU or United States visa or qualifying residence permit is not generalized to the nationality-only baseline.
    • The Rulebook's individual urgent border-visa procedure is not a nationality-wide visa-on-arrival route.

    Hong Kong SAR passports: Bosnia and Herzegovina visa-free short visits

    The MFA's current China card expressly exempts Hong Kong SAR passports from Bosnia and Herzegovina's visa regime for entry, exit and transit, up to 90 days in six months from first entry.

    • This applies to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region passport described by the MFA, not a PRC ordinary passport, a Macao SAR passport, a Taiwan passport or a business, diplomatic or residence document.
    • The stated short-stay limit is up to 90 days during six months from first entry. Work, residence, carrier checks and final admission remain separate.

    Kosovo travel documents: Bosnia and Herzegovina advance visa on separate paper

    Bosnia and Herzegovina's current MFA guidance directly requires holders of Kosovo travel documents to obtain a visa and identifies the embassies that issue it on separate paper.

    • The visa is issued on separate paper by the Bosnia and Herzegovina embassies in Skopje, Podgorica or Belgrade and must be obtained before travel.
    • The result applies to an ordinary Kosovo travel document used for a short visitor journey; it does not imply diplomatic recognition or ordinary visa-sticker placement in the passport.
    • Transit, work, study, residence, diplomatic, official and other special-document treatment remain outside scope.
    • The MFA page is current and live, although its server currently presents an incomplete TLS certificate chain to some automated clients; recheck the consular route before travel.

    South Sudan ordinary passports: Bosnia and Herzegovina advance short-stay visa

    Bosnia and Herzegovina's Foreigners Law requires a visa unless the passport state is in the closed exemption cohort, and the current decision does not exempt South Sudan; the normal Visa C is obtained before entry through a diplomatic-consular post.

    • Applies to an ordinary South Sudan passport holder travelling for tourism or another private short-stay purpose, normally up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
    • The traveller normally obtains Visa C before entry from a Bosnia and Herzegovina diplomatic-consular post or an authorized treaty partner.
    • The exceptional border Visa C requires an unforeseeable urgent reason and proof that advance application was impossible; it is not a nationality-wide visa-on-arrival route.
    • Qualifying residence documents, third-country-document exceptions, diplomatic or service passports, treaty exceptions, work, residence, carrier checks and final admission remain separate.
