Visa requirement for Indian living in the UK for travel to Serbia and Bulgaria

Upvote:5

As @Relaxed indicated, Bulgaria and Serbia aren't part of the Schengen area (yet). They will both let you in if you have a Schengen visa, but it's not required.

You do need a local visa for Bulgaria, it seems it doesn't care about your status in the UK, but Serbia will let you in.
