Before you DIY it

What goes wrong when a Serbian move is handled alone

Most failed or delayed moves don't fail at the big decision. They fail on a small, recoverable detail nobody flagged in time.

Route

Wrong pathway chosen

The applicant files for the wrong permit type or purpose of stay and loses weeks restarting from scratch.

Documents

Apostille & translation errors

Expired apostilles or non-certified translations get rejected at the counter — after the trip is already booked.

Municipality

Local rules differ

A process that works in Belgrade is handled differently in another municipality, and the difference isn't published.

Banking

Compliance delays

Account opening stalls on additional checks, holding up the address, tax ID, and everything downstream of it.

Tax

Residency misread

Tax residency is assumed rather than confirmed, creating exposure that only surfaces a year later.

Renewals

Deadlines missed

A renewal window passes unnoticed and a settled status has to be rebuilt from the start.

One firm. Every step.

What our clients say

From the first call you feel that Andre cares about every detail of the relocation. It's not one-size-fits-all — everything is discussed and studied around your needs. The path was extremely clear, every question competently answered, and even after relocating to Belgrade I always had my back covered. One of the smoothest operations I've seen. Absolutely recommended.

My wife and I had an excellent experience. They helped us with all of our paperwork and made the residency process straightforward. The team was professional, efficient, and always available when we needed help. Highly recommended to anyone relocating to Serbia. Thank you, Andre.

Citizenship by Descent Client

We moved from the Netherlands and used Relocation Serbia for temporary residency. This was one of the few things that went smoothly and quickly, thanks to the detailed guidance of Andre and his team. Each time we had to go to the police station, Andre was present and well on time. Applying when you don't speak the language is a real challenge — money well spent.

What we will not promise

We'd rather lose a bad-fit enquiry than overpromise an outcome we don't control.

Decisions rest with the relevant Serbian authorities, banks, or institutions. Timelines are averages based on case experience and can vary by applicant, municipality, document status, and institutional workload.

  • Authorities make the final decision on residency and citizenship — we prepare the strongest possible file, not a guaranteed approval.
  • Banks can request additional compliance checks at their discretion.
  • Quoted timelines are averages, not commitments by any institution.
  • Document requirements can shift by municipality and case type.
  • Tax outcomes depend on your personal facts and require proper review.
  • Complex cases get an honest assessment before we take them on.
FAQ

What people ask before booking a call

The most common questions from new enquiries. If yours isn't here, we'll answer it on the call.

Temporary residency approval typically takes 4–6 weeks from complete document submission. The process requires proof of accommodation, a valid passport, and a stated purpose of stay. We manage document preparation and submission so you don't navigate it alone. Final decisions and timelines rest with the Serbian authorities.
Yes. Foreigners can fully own and register a Serbian DOO (limited liability company) without citizenship or prior residency. Registration takes 5–7 business days and requires a registered address and local bank account — both of which we provide as part of the setup service.
Serbia's corporate income tax rate is 15% — one of the lowest in Europe. Companies operating within Free Economic Zones may qualify for additional incentives. Serbia also holds free trade agreements with 22+ countries, widening market access for Serbian-registered businesses.
No. Through our Employer of Record (EOR) service, you can legally employ Serbian staff without establishing a local legal entity. We act as the legal employer on record and handle contracts, payroll, social contributions, and compliance.
Yes — our personal relocation division handles both. We assist with property search (rental or purchase), lease or purchase agreements, and international school placement across Belgrade, Novi Sad, and other cities, working with vetted local agents and partners.
Citizenship by descent requires tracing and documenting Serbian ancestry (typically one Serbian-born grandparent or parent). We handle lineage research, document retrieval, translation, legalisation, and the full application to the Serbian Ministry of Interior. Timelines vary based on archive accessibility.
We coordinate the full process — bank selection, document preparation, and appointment support — so account opening runs in parallel with your residency or company setup rather than blocking it. Approval remains at the bank's discretion and may involve additional compliance checks.
A focused 60-minute call where we confirm whether Serbia fits your situation, identify the correct route, and map the timeline and documents. No obligation and no sales pitch — you leave with a clear picture of your options either way.
