[4] The design of the biometric passport is a burgundy colour, with the coat of arms of the Republic of Kosovo in the middle of the cover page.

Countries like the United States, the UK, Germany, and Japan do recognise Kosovo’s independence.

Countries that have reportedly been visited in this manner include: Russia does not recognise Kosovo as an independent state, nor does it recognise the Kosovar Passport as a valid travel document for everyday entry to Russia under normal circumstances.

The Russian Embassy in Belgrade published a statement about use of the Kosovar Passport in Russia:[26][27] "It is only possible to enter the territory of the Russian Federation with passports of the so-called Republic of Kosovo in cases based on the fulfilment of international obligations of the Russian Federation as a side-recipient of an event, which is organised through multilateral structures, whose member or participant is the so-called Republic of Kosovo... For other purposes, the procedure of entry of persons with Kosovo passports to the territory of Russia has not changed.

However in March 2023, Serbia concluded a normalisation agreement with Kosovo in European Union mediated dialogue.

Under the terms of the agreement, Serbia committed to recognise Kosovo's official documents including passports and customs stamps.

[28][29][30] Citizens of Kosovo can freely enter Serbia and stay for 90 days with a valid identity card.

That practice, however, was soon abandoned and these were simply over-stamped (nullified), which potentially could have led to problems with long term Kosovar visas appearing to be annulled.
