If you’re a foreign national aiming to work in Serbia, obtaining a work permit is essential. This permit, often referred to as a work visa, is issued by the National Employment Service (NES) and is governed by the Foreign Nationals Employment Act.

Types of Work Permits in Serbia:

1. Personal Work Permit:

   • Eligibility: Issued to foreigners with permanent residence in Serbia, those with refugee status, or individuals with Serbian family connections.
   • Purpose: Allows individuals with established ties to Serbia to work within the country.

2. Simple Work Permit:

   • Eligibility: Issued to foreigners applying from abroad to fill positions within Serbian companies.
   • Purpose: This permit is based on labor market conditions and is intended for individuals who need to fill specific roles that cannot be filled by local candidates.

Key Information:

• Exclusive Issuance: For the same time period, you can only hold one type of work permit—either a Personal Work Permit or a Simple Work Permit.
• Application Process: Navigating the application process can be complex, so it’s beneficial to have expert guidance.
