What it means in practice
90 days is about three months. If you arrive on 1 November 2026, your last legal day is 29 January 2027, because the arrival day is day one. Use the stay calculator for your own dates.
Days in Bosnia and Herzegovina also add up over time: 90 days in a 6-month period (counted here as any 180 days). Leaving and coming back does not reset that total, so earlier stays count. The stay calculator checks both limits when you add your earlier trips.
How Bosnia and Herzegovina counts your stay: Most Western passports: up to 90 days in a 6-month period. Other nationalities follow bilateral agreements (often 30 days).

- Plan to leave a day or two early. With 90 days, book your exit before the last legal day so a cancelled flight doesn't push you over.
- Extend before you run out. For longer stays apply for temporary residence at the Service for Foreigners' Affairs before your permitted stay ends.
