Serbia Residence via Sole Proprietorship.
3 years of legal residency through sole proprietorship registration, with a path to Serbian citizenship.
Overview
How does it work?
Registering a sole proprietorship (preduzetnik) in Serbia establishes legal grounds for a 3-year temporary residence permit. It is the strongest pathway to Serbian citizenship. There is a standard route of 70–90 days and an accelerated route that takes about 2 weeks in Serbia.
