He was part of the first Macedonia U21 generation that qualified for a final tournament[7] where he also got to play in the last game in the groups, coming in as a substitute in the 28th minute for Marjan Radeski in the match against Portugal.[8]
On 2 September 2017, he also made his debut for the senior national team in a World Cup qualifier against Israel, where Visar played the full game and helped his side keep a clean sheet in the 1–0 victory.[9] As of 1 April 2020,[update] Musliu has earned a total of 20 caps, scoring one goal.[10][11]
