<\/h4>\nThis text aims to clarify the procedure for obtaining a unified residence and work permit in the Republic of Serbia through practical examples and addressing ambiguities that arise in practice.<\/p>\n
With the entry into force on February 1, 2024, of amendments to the Law on Foreigners and the Law on the Employment of Foreigners, the procedure for obtaining a temporary residence permit and a work permit has undergone certain changes.<\/p>\n
First and foremost, the application submission process has been modified so thatapplications must now be submitted exclusively electronically via the E UPRAVA (eGovernment) portal.<\/p>\n
All individuals intending to stay in Serbia for more than 90 days within a 180-day period, or who have entered the country based on a visa and wish to extend their stay, must submit the appropriate residence permit application to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Serbia (MUP RS), the Directorate for Foreigners.<\/p>\n
There are certain countries whose citizens can enter the country without a visa and stay for a limited period of time, such as, up to 30 days: Chinese citizen, Russian citizen, citizens of Belarus, Singapore, Kazakhstan, among others, or up to 90 days, such as a citizen of the United Arab Emirates, whereas we have a category of countries whose citizens may enter only with a visa (India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Philippines, Cuba, Egypt, etc.). It is important to distinguish between Visa A, Visa C and Visa D in this context.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1743188170634{padding-right: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
