Work Permit
If you want to reside and work in Serbia as a foreigner, you must submit an application for temporary residence permit. After that, you need to obtain a work permit so that you can get a job and work in one of the companies in Serbia. This work permit means that you are looking for a job in Serbia on your own and that you do not have an employer who would perform all the necessary activities for you for the purpose of obtaining a work permit.

According to the laws of the Republic of Serbia, there are two types of work permits. They are issued as:
- personal work permit
- work permit
Personal work permit is a type of work permit that allows foreigners to be employed freely, as well as to exercise their right to self-employment. It also allows them to exercise their rights in case of unemployment.
This permit is issued at a foreigner’s request in the following cases:
- if the foreigner has a permanent residence permit
- if the foreigner has a refugee status
- if the foreigner belongs to a special category of foreigners
In accordance with the law governing the stay of foreigners in our country, a personal work permit may also be issued for the purpose of family reunification. It is issued at the request of a member of that foreigner’s nuclear family.
The second type of work permit is a work permit issued as a:
- work permit for employment
- work permit for special cases of employment
- work permit for self-employment
A personal work permit and an employment work permit cannot be issued at the same time. Only one work permit can be issued for one period of time.
