Is Starlink available in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2025?

Wondering whether Starlink works in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2025 and how much it will cost? This up-to-date guide explains the current availability status, the regulatory situation, expected price ranges (hardware + subscription), how to check coverage, and practical tips for ordering and using Starlink in BiH. (Updated Dec 5, 2025.)

As of December 5, 2025, Starlink has publicly confirmed readiness to enter the Bosnia and Herzegovina market and Bosnia is marked as a planned/coming territory on the company’s availability resources, but full commercial service depends on local regulatory approvals and final pricing being published on Starlink’s ordering pages. You cannot yet place an order for a Bosnia service address on Starlink’s global site without the official local rollout appearing in the address check. Expect retail hardware costs in the low-hundreds of euros and monthly plans similar to other European markets (roughly €35–€80 / month for residential tiers), but final Bosnia prices will be shown on the official ordering page once the service is live.

What the official sources say (availability and status)

In April 2025 Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Communications and Transport Minister met Starlink representatives; official press releases and local media reported that Starlink is ready to offer services and is preparing to enter the Bosnian market, subject to legal/regulatory requirements. That meeting and follow-up stories are the clearest public confirmation that Starlink plans to launch in BiH. However, Starlink’s global ordering system still controls precise go-live timing: the company typically activates a country for ordering only after local licences and any telecom regulatory conditions are satisfied.

What this means in practice:

• The company has signalled commercial intent and local talks have taken place.

• You may see Bosnia mentioned in news and local press as “coming in 2025,” but until Starlink’s address-check/ordering page lists Bosnia officially you cannot buy a local subscription and expect full local coverage/support.

Are there any regulatory or approval steps left?

Yes. Local telecom regulators often need to process licence requests, spectrum coordination, import / customs, and other formalities. Bosnian outlets and the regulator have said Starlink has not yet completed all paperwork (or that approvals are pending) — this is normal for new market entries. Expect a short delay between the “ready” announcement and the moment Starlink opens the official ordering flow for Bosnia.

How to check real-time availability yourself

1. Go to Starlink’s official site and use the address checker / availability map: enter your full service address (street, city). If Bosnia is active, the site will display available plans and prices for that address.

2. Sign up for Starlink email updates on starlink.com to receive launch/availability notices for new countries.

3. Follow local news (national tech outlets and the Ministry of Communications) — they typically publish the exact launch date and how to order.

Expected pricing for Bosnia (realistic estimates and examples)

Starlink sets pricing per country and shows local currency and VAT at ordering. Because Bosnia’s official Starlink pricing had not been published on Starlink’s ordering pages at the time of writing, the best approach is to give evidence-based estimates based on (A) Starlink’s published service-plan structure and (B) pricing in neighboring European markets where Starlink already operates.

What Starlink charges in principle

• Starlink usually sells a kit (dish + Wi-Fi router + cables) and a monthly subscription. Different plans (Residential, Residential Lite, Roam / On-the-Go, Business) have different price points. The global service-plan pages show typical European ranges (e.g., €35–€50/month for basic residential tiers in some EU countries). Starlink also offers Roam/Regional/Global options that cost more.

Local reporting / estimates for Bosnia

• Several Bosnian/Croatian outlets that covered the April 2025 announcement provided cost estimates based on neighboring markets and Starlink kit pricing. One local estimate mentioned a Standard Kit price around €349 and subscription starting at about €50/month, giving a first-year total in the €1,100–€1,630 range when hardware, delivery and annual subscription are included (local articles note this is an estimate and subject to change). Treat local figures as provisional until Starlink publishes Bosnia-specific prices.

Practical price band (best current estimate):

• Hardware (one-time): ~€300–€450 (depends on kit generation, shipping & local import fees).

• Monthly (residential): €35–€80 / month (lower end for “lite” plans in some EU listings; higher for full unlimited/residential/service tiers).

• Roam / Global / Business tiers: can be substantially more (tens to hundreds of euros per month) depending on the plan.

Important: Starlink pricing often changes and varies with local VAT, import duty and shipping. The final Bosnia prices will be displayed in BAM or EUR on the Starlink ordering page when the country is activated.

Ordering strategies (if you want Starlink ASAP)

• Wait for official local launch: This ensures your service address, local warranty and support, and lawful operation in BiH. Starlink’s regional rollout typically provides local pricing and support pages.

• Temporary workaround: some users import hardware or order to an address in a neighboring EU country (where Starlink is active) and bring the kit to Bosnia. This is legally and operationally risky — Starlink’s terms and activation system may restrict use outside the registered service country and regulatory issues can arise. Many local forums caution that roaming or using a kit activated for another country may be blocked or degraded. Proceed only if you understand the legal and support implications.

Performance expectations in Bosnia

Once operational, Starlink’s residential service in European countries typically offers:

• Download speeds from tens to low hundreds of Mbps (varies by plan, congestion and local ground infrastructure).

• Low latency compared with traditional GEO satellite services, suitable for video calls and many real-time apps.
  Performance will depend on the dish model, line-of-sight to the sky (open horizon), and whether Starlink deploys local ground-infrastructure variations in the region.

Use cases where Starlink makes sense in BiH

• Rural households without reliable fixed-line broadband.

• Emergency services and disaster response (Starlink has been used for rapid connectivity in crises).

• Small businesses and remote operations needing better connectivity than available local options.

• Mobile users (RV/boat) if they pick Roam/Regional plans — subject to plan terms.

Summary & final guidance

• Starlink publicly signalled readiness to enter Bosnia in 2025, and local ministers met Starlink representatives — that’s the primary confirmation. Final availability depends on local regulatory approvals and Starlink’s own activation on the ordering system.

• You cannot rely yet on fixed pricing for Bosnia until the Starlink ordering page lists Bosnia-specific plans and prices. Based on neighboring European markets, expect hardware in the €300–€450 range and monthly residential plans roughly €35–€80 — final Bosnia prices will be shown at launch.
