Frequently asked questions

Your Key Questions
Answered

Can a foreigner open a company in Serbia?

Yes. Foreign entrepreneurs can establish a Serbian company. The appropriate structure and registration requirements depend on the proposed activity and individual circumstances.

Can opening a company give me residence in Serbia?

Company registration does not automatically give you residence. Eligible self-employment can form a basis for a residence and work application, provided the applicable conditions are met.

What is the Serbia Single Permit?

The Single Permit combines residence and work authorization in one biometric document. It may be issued for up to three years, depending on your basis and supporting evidence.

Do I need a Visa D?

This depends on your nationality and immigration basis. Visa-required applicants using an employment or self-employment route may need a long-stay Visa D before applying for the Single Permit. We review this during your assessment.

Can I start my Serbia company formation from Dubai?

Some stages can be coordinated from abroad. Personal attendance may be required for banking, biometrics or other formalities. Your advisor will explain the requirements for your case.

Can UAE residents apply?

Yes, UAE and GCC residents can request an assessment. Eligibility depends on nationality, passport, proposed business activity and the applicable immigration basis.

How long can the residence permit be valid?

A Single Permit can be valid for up to three years. The actual period is determined by the Serbian authorities based on your application and supporting documents.

Can this lead to permanent residence?

Potentially. Permanent residence may be available after three years of qualifying, continuous lawful residence, subject to the applicable conditions and absence limits. It is not automatic.

Does NEXO guarantee a residence permit?

No. All visa, residence and work decisions are made by the relevant authorities. NEXO provides assessment, preparation and coordination support.

Can my family join me?

Eligible immediate family members may apply through family reunification. Their eligibility and application requirements are assessed separately.

Your advisor will confirm the requirements applicable to your individual case.
