Work permit and conditions for obtaining it

If you plan to come to the Republic of Serbia to work as, it is necessary to have a temporary or permanent residence permit as well as a work permit often called a „work visa“. To obtain a work permit, you must first obtain a temporary or permanent residence permit.

1) PERSONAL WORK PERMIT

A personal work permit is necessary for employment, self-employment and the use of legally guaranteed rights in the event of unemployment. This work permit is issued at the request of an alien:

1. who has been granted permanent residence;
2. who has refugee status;
3. which belongs to a special category of foreigners.

As you can see, this type of work permit is closely related to the personal status of a foreign national and is therefore linked to that status. This is even more pronounced when we know that this permit can also be issued for the purpose of family reunification (at the request of a close family member of a foreigner who has been granted permanent residence or who has refugee status, at the request of a foreigner. degree of kinship in a straight line).

2) WORK PERMIT

Unlike a personal work permit, a work permit is not strictly tied to a foreigner’s personal status. This type of work permit is issued for:

1. employment;
2. special employment cases;
3. self-employment.
