Temporary Residency by Employment
What is the Temporary Residence by Employment Program?
Serbia allows foreign nationals to apply for temporary residence based on real estate ownership, with no minimum investment requirement by law. This program is ideal for:
- Retirees looking for an affordable, safe, and scenic location.
- Investors seeking high-value property assets with low taxation.
- Second-home buyers interested in European residency benefits.
Unlike other European countries with strict investment thresholds, Serbia provides flexibility and affordability, making it an attractive option for foreign buyers.
