Share with your laptop
Hotspot is allowed on the plan selected above, so a second device can use the same data in a cafe or a hotel room.

Kosovo travel data guide
A Kosovo eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Kosovo that you install before you fly. Plans in Kosovo run on Vala, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 11 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 20 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $9.99. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on some of the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The Global eSIM covers Kosovo and 126 other countries on one plan, from $18.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Kosovo, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more. Travel data in Kosovo from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Kosovo FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Kosovo?
It connects wherever Vala has signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in Kosovo, not at purchase. The plan selected above (2 GB) runs for 1 day from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in Kosovo?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
Is there an unlimited eSIM for Kosovo?
No, there is no unlimited plan for Kosovo on this page. All eleven plans have fixed data. The largest is 20 GB for 30 days, and for a single heavy day there is a 10 GB plan lasting 1 day.
Which plan should I buy for a day trip to Kosovo?
For a day trip to Kosovo, the 1 GB for 1 day plan covers maps, messaging and a few photos. Choose 2 GB or 3 GB if you will share video. The 5 GB and 10 GB day plans are meant for laptop work.
Is Kosovo included in a Balkans or regional plan?
Kosovo is included in the Global plan, which also lists Albania, North Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia. It is not on the Europe plan's list. For a trip through several of those countries, the Global plan is the one to compare.
When does a 1 day plan start?
A 1 day plan for Kosovo starts when the eSIM first connects to a network there. It does not start at purchase. Install it beforehand and keep the line switched off until you actually need data in Kosovo.
Can I install the eSIM while I'm already travelling?
Yes, as long as you have an internet connection for the download, such as hotel WiFi. The QR code is in your email and in your account. The Kosovo plan still only starts at its first connection in Kosovo.
Can I use hotspot on the Kosovo plans?
Yes, hotspot is allowed on all Kosovo plans. Because every plan has a fixed allowance, shared data comes straight out of it. Pick one of the larger sizes if a laptop will be connected for long.
What do I do if I use all my data?
Check whether your Kosovo plan supports top up, which some do. If so, add data to the same eSIM. If not, buy another plan. A fresh 1 day plan is a quick fix for your last day.
How do I top up if I run low?
The plan selected above does not offer top ups. Buy a new plan from this page instead and install it as a second eSIM.
