Tips to make your trip to the Embassy easy and fast:
- Only applicants with scheduled appointments can come into the Embassy. Children under 18 years of age may be accompanied by a parent or guardian and assistants may accompany the disabled.
- Arrive approximately 15 minutes before the time on your appointment confirmation.
- Please limit what you bring to the Embassy because we have limited storage space. We cannot store the following items, which we recommend you leave at home:
- Weapons or tools
- Large electronic items, such as laptops or larger
- You can’t bring large backpacks or electronic equipment (e.g., cell phones, etc.) into the Embassy. Be prepared with the information and papers you need for your appointment.
- Most trips to the Consular Section require less than 30 minutes.
- There is no parking available at the Embassy. There are a number of commercial facilities around the Embassy.
- You don’t need an appointment to pick up your new passport or Report of Birth Abroad.
- If you only need information, we highly recommend that you contact us by email (SarajevoVisas@state.gov for all inquiries related to a visa, SarajevoACS@state.gov for all inquiries related to U.S. Citizen Services.)
- Bring enough money for your appointment. You can pay for all services, except for nonimmigrant visas, with a credit card. And we accept U.S. dollars or Bosnian marks for all services!
- Before your appointment, take one last look at the required documents for your service. We love to finish your service after just one trip!
