Yes—and it’s growing fast. Serbia has all the ingredients remote workers look for: affordability, reliable infrastructure, flexible visa rules, vibrant culture, and a low barrier to entry. While places like Lisbon, Bali, or Tbilisi get the buzz, Serbia is quietly becoming the smart nomad’s choice.

From coworking hubs in Belgrade to nature escapes in the south, it’s no wonder digital workers are ditching overpriced Western cities for Serbia’s balance of comfort and cost.

1. Affordable Living, High Quality of Life

Serbia offers big-city infrastructure at small-town prices.

2. Fast, Reliable Internet

• Average broadband speed: 80–100 Mbps in major cities

• 5G rollout underway

• Coworking spaces and cafés are everywhere
  
  

"I’ve had better Zoom calls in Belgrade than in Berlin." — Elena, UX designer from Spain

3. No Schengen Limits

U.S., Canadian, Australian, and many EU passport holders can stay in Serbia up to 90 days without a visa. Serbia also isn’t in the Schengen zone—meaning you can reset your European travel clock here.

4. Warm Community and Nomad-Friendly Cities

• Belgrade: Urban, energetic, artsy

• Novi Sad: Laid-back, culturally rich, UNESCO Creative City

• Niš: Affordable and off-the-beaten path
  
  

You’ll find:

• Coworking spaces like Smart Office, Nova Iskra, and Startit

• Meetups, language exchanges, and tech events

• Cafés with charging outlets and extended hours
  
  

5. Welcoming Residency Options

If you want to stay longer than 90 days:

• Apply for temporary residence based on freelance work or business setup

• Launch a Serbian DOO company (limited liability company)

• Bring family or dependents with ease
  
  

Serbia’s immigration laws are more flexible than most of Europe—making it easier to stay long-term as a freelancer or entrepreneur.

6. Strategic Location in Europe

Hop on a bus or short flight to:

• Budapest in 4 hours

• Vienna in 6 hours

• Istanbul, Berlin, or Athens in under 2 hours by air
