First week
White card, mobile connection, bank account, and knowing where to go
The first days in Belgrade are spent figuring out the order of things to do. The white card is obtained at the hotel upon check-in, then from the property owner, and it is free of charge. We show you the process and walk through it with you.
Who it suits. For those who have just landed and don’t want to waste a week figuring out the obvious.

A business-based residence permit costs €850 to set up. After that, he basis must be maintained: a flat-rate tax of ~€116 per month, an accountant ~100 €, registered address ~50 €. Over three years until permanent residency eligibility, that is ~9,600 € — four times the cost of the paperwork itself. We consider this the estimate before payment, because it is what determines whether you will make it to passport: a dissolved sole proprietorship resets continuity, and the three years start over from scratch. We give you the exact lump-sum fee at the consultation — it depends on the activity code and region.
The white card is issued free of charge: by the hotel at check-in or by the property owner housing. We do not sell any ’police stamps instead of a hotel’ schemes.
A residence permit through a sole proprietorship costs €850 once and ~€266 per month for the following three years: lump-sum tax ~116 €, accountant ~100 €, registered address ~50 €. That’s ~9,600 € until permanent residence eligibility. We give you the second figure before payment — because it’s the one that determines whether you’ll make it to the passport.
Guidance through your first steps while you’re still finding your way.
