Services for foreign nationals in Serbia
We help foreigners — and companies arranging papers for their workers — with the unified permit, temporary residence, visas C and D, company formation, renewals and change of employer.
Serbia Gateway is a brand of JLE DOO and your point of contact. The administrative support — document preparation, submitting applications under a power of attorney where this is permitted, appointments and case follow-up — is carried out by a partner agency holding a permit from the Ministry. Documents are prepared by the partner agency; legal questions and representation are handled by lawyers.
