Serbia is one of the countries offering a visa for digital nomads.
Serbia offers the digital nomad visa for individuals who work remotely as employees or business owners in other countries. Thanks to the low cost of living in Serbia, many digital nomads choose this destination as their temporary residence.
The digital nomad visa allows you to reside in Serbia for a short stay of up to 90 days. However, if you wish to stay between 91 and 180 days, you must apply for a long-stay permit or a temporary residence permit.
Requirements to apply for the digital nomad visa in Serbia
Although different types of visas are required depending on the duration of your stay in Serbia, the documents required for application are similar:
- Application form for the visa
- Copy of passport valid for the specified dates
- Proof of health insurance
- Passport-sized photos (5×5 cm or 2×2 inches)
