About this Visa
This visa lets you live in Serbia legally by investing money. You can start a business, buy property, or keep savings in a Serbian bank. It's designed for entrepreneurs and investors who want to live in Eastern Europe independently. After 6 years, you can become a Serbian citizen with no language test required. It's easier than most European countries because you don't need a job offer or a local sponsor—just money to invest and a clean criminal record.
