About this Visa
This is Serbia's work visa (called a D Visa). It lets you live and work in Serbia for longer than 90 days. You need a job offer from a Serbian company to apply. This visa is one of the easiest ways to move to Serbia for work. What you can do: Work full-time for your employer, bring your family, stay for up to 3 years, and eventually get permanent residence or become a citizen. You get healthcare through your employer's contributions. Special feature: As of March 2025, employers no longer need to prove no Serbian workers are available. Your visa combines work permission and residence permit into one document.
