Bank account in Belgrade — we’ll open it together with your tax number
Without a local bank account and tax number you cannot rent a home, receive a salary, or pay for studies — and banks are reluctant to open an account for a foreigner without a residence permit. We know which banks in the country eally work with new arrivals, what document package they accept, and in what order go: phone number first or bank account first. We take notes, accompany you to the meeting, and interpret.
