The timeline depends on your chosen pathway and nationality — but most of our clients have an approved temporary residence permit within 4 to 6 weeks of submitting a complete application. The biggest cause of delays is incomplete or incorrectly prepared documentation. That's exactly what we handle on your behalf, so the process moves without unnecessary setbacks. Book a call and we'll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.

The document list varies depending on which residency pathway you're using and where you're from. There are core requirements that apply to most applicants, plus additional documents that depend on your circumstances. Getting this wrong — missing a document, submitting an incorrect translation, or using an expired apostille — is the most common reason applications are delayed or rejected. We provide every client with a personalised document checklist after their eligibility call, and we manage the preparation, translation, and legalisation process 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 back home shortly after. We'll tell you exactly when you need to be here and for how long on your eligibility call.

Yes. Property ownership is a recognised basis for a temporary residence permit in Serbia, and foreigners can freely purchase residential property here. It's a good option for those who intend to settle long-term. The property purchase and residency processes can be run in parallel, which is something we coordinate on your behalf. If this is the route you're considering, we'll walk you through what that looks like for your situation on the call.

Yes — families are one of our most common client types. We coordinate residency applications for all family members simultaneously, which matters 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 so nothing is waiting on anything else. If you're moving with children, tell us their ages and school stage on the call and we'll outline what the process looks like for your family specifically.

There are two cost components — government fees paid to Serbian authorities, and our service fees. Government fees are fixed and relatively modest. Our fees depend on which services you need and the complexity of your situation. We don't publish fixed packages because a single person relocating for residency has very different requirements to a family needing housing, schooling, banking, and permits for four people. What we can tell you is there are no hidden fees — everything is agreed upfront before we start. Book a call and we'll give you a clear cost range within the first 60 minutes.
