Residency, citizenship & family relocation in Serbia

The timeline depends on your chosen pathway and nationality, and the decision and its timing belong to the Serbian authorities — we don't promise a date. The biggest cause of delays is incomplete or incorrectly prepared documentation — exactly what we handle on your behalf. Book the €49 Roadmap and we'll explain the usual steps for your case.

The list varies by pathway and nationality — core requirements that apply to most applicants, plus additional documents depending on your circumstances. Getting this wrong (a missing document, an incorrect translation, an expired apostille) is the most common reason applications are delayed or rejected. We provide a personalised checklist after your Roadmap call and manage preparation, translation, and legalisation from start to finish.

Yes — but far less than most people expect. There is typically one appointment in Serbia that requires your physical presence. We handle everything else: scheduling, document preparation, and accompanying you on the day. Many clients fly in specifically for that appointment and are home shortly after. We'll tell you exactly when you need to be here, and for how long, on your Roadmap call.

Yes. Property ownership is a recognised basis for a temporary residence permit, and foreigners can buy residential property in Serbia where reciprocity applies to their country — we confirm it for your case before any deposit. It's a strong option for those intending to settle long-term, and the purchase and residency processes can run in parallel — which we coordinate on your behalf. If this is the route you're considering, we'll walk you through it on the call.

Yes — families are one of our most common client types. We coordinate residency applications for all family members simultaneously, because separate timelines cause unnecessary complications. We also handle school placement, property search, and the logistics of settling in — all running in parallel with the permit process. Tell us your children's ages and school stage on the call and we'll outline what the process looks like for your family.

There are two components — government fees paid to Serbian authorities, which are fixed and relatively modest, and our service fees, which depend on the services you need and the complexity of your situation. Our package prices are published on our pricing page: residency packages start at €1,495 (Essential), and a spouse adds €595 and each child €395 — a single person relocating has very different requirements to a family of four needing housing, schooling, banking, and permits. Every package price is on our pricing page. Book the €49 Roadmap and we'll give you a clear cost range within the 60 minutes.
