The train from Sofia to Belgrade passes from Bulgaria to Serbia. It is impossible to say if you need a visa for either country if you do not indicate your citizenship.

You do not need a visa for either Serbia or Bulgaria. The train border control is quite straightforward. They board the train at a bordering station, first the Bulgarians, then the Serbs. They use an electronic passport reader, then check the train compartment for smuggled goods (basically looking around) and stamp your passport. I have traveled twice and there were no problems for two Asian travelers in my compartment who traveled visa-free.

Hope that helps,
Venelin
