For Foreign Job Seekers
To legally work in Serbia, most foreign nationals need a Visa D for employment or a Temporary Residence and Work Permit. However, in some cases, short-term work (up to 90 days) may not require a work permit.
​
How the Process Works:
-
You apply for a job on our platform and submit your CV.
-
The employer reviews your profile.
-
If you’re selected, the employer may offer you a job contract.
-
After the contract is signed, the employer will help you apply for the appropriate visa or permit.
This is why it's important to have a professional CV and provide all the correct details.
