For Single Temporary Residence and Work Permit for foreign citizens in Serbia, 37,934 requests resolved positively

From the beginning of the operations of the Portal for Foreign Citizens, in February, until the end of last year, a total of 37,934 requests for the Single Temporary Residence and Work Permit for foreign citizens in Serbia were resolved positively, the director of the Office for IT and eGovernment, Mihailo Jovanovic, said in a written statement.

He said that, in December alone, 4,195 single permits had been issued and added that the Single Temporary Residence and Work Permit was issued in the form of a biometric document, a card.

The Portal for Foreign Citizens, he said, has enabled a simpler and quicker process for all foreign citizens who want to live and work in Serbia. If the request is submitted individually by a foreign citizen, they need to have a profile on the Portal for Electronic Identification, whereas, if the request is submitted by the employer, they need to have an open profile on the eGovernment Portal as a legal person, and the legal representative has to have a registered profile.

All that is needed is for the legal representative of the legal person to register at the eGovernment Portal and authorize a person for the submission of a request for the single permit on behalf of that legal person, by assigning the role “Work with Foreign Citizens”. Also, within the Portal for Foreign Citizens, it is also possible to apply for visa C, which is a visa for a stay of up to 90 days, which is issued for tourist, business and other trips, as well as one, two, or more entries in the Republic of Serbia.

Also, it is possible to apply for visa D, which is a visa for a stay of up to 90 to 180 days, which is issued based on employment, education, family merging and similar.
