Work Permit Visa

Employment-based residence and work permit (single permit) for foreigners hired by Serbian employers. The employer must conduct a labor market test through the National Employment Service (NES) for 10 days to verify no qualified local candidates are available. The single permit system combines residence and work authorization in one application, valid for up to 3 years. Employer sponsors the application. Processing typically takes 15-30 days. Newly settled foreigners under 40 or those who lived abroad for 24+ months may qualify for 70% tax relief on salary and social contributions for 5 years.
