Guides for foreign clients in Serbia
Step-by-step guides to Serbian procedures, each with the questions clients actually ask us. Written by practising Belgrade attorneys and kept up to date.
How to register a d.o.o. in Serbia as a foreigner
The d.o.o., društvo sa ograničenom odgovornošću, the Serbian limited-liability company, is the default vehicle for foreign founders. It can be wholly foreign-owned, formed by a single founder, and the entire procedure can run on a power of attorney while you stay abroad.
How to obtain temporary residence in Serbia
Temporary residence, privremeni boravak, is the permit that lets you lawfully live in Serbia beyond a tourist stay. Recent reforms moved applications online, merged work and residence into a single unified permit, and allow cards issued for up to three years.
How to buy property in Serbia as a foreign national
Foreign individuals can generally acquire apartments, houses and commercial property in Serbia under the condition of reciprocity with their home country. The transaction itself is notarial, registry-driven and, done properly, very safe. Done casually, it is where foreign money gets hurt.
