Re: Driving from France to Prizren: visa requirements

[Enkelena Haxhiu <enkelena.h@gmail.com>]

Yes, as Christoph said, your wife is set for the Kosovo visa as well if she only wants to stay for 15 days. In the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_Kosovo it says:

"Visa is not required for citizens of any country with a valid multiple entry Schengen visa or a valid biometric residence permit from a Schengen State. They may stay in Kosovo for 15 days.^"

Also the MFAD website says "- Citizens of the countries which are required to obtain a visa for Kosovo but hold a biometric valid residence permit issued by one of the Schengen member states or a valid multi-entry Schengen Visa are exempt from the requirement to obtain a Visa to enter, transit, or stay in the territory of the Republic of Kosovo for up to 15 days."

Quick check on the internet suggests Croatia and Montenegro are fine assuming
your partner has a valid schengen visum (list includes cosovo and albania so
worth checking I guess)
