Renewing status
Years two and three are exactly when people usually lose track of the clock
In Serbia, renewal is not a window-display afterthought — it is the core product: it is what people actually buy a second and third time, and it’s what ultimately leads to permanent residence. You must apply before the expiry of current status: an overstay here is not a fine, but a reset of three years.
Who it suits. For those who already have status and are approaching renewal or a change of basis.
What is included
- We check whether the current basis will last until renewal
- We prepare and submit the full set of documents
- We align your dates so no gap appears in your continuity of residence
- We change your basis when the current one no longer holds up
- We accompany you to the MUP office
- Calculating time remaining until eligibility for permanent residence
What the package does not include
Paid separately and directly, with no markup from us.
- Government fees ~230 € per person: 22,700 dinars for the status, filing fee, biometrics, and ID card. Paid directly via plati.euprava.gov.rs
- Health insurance
- Tax and reporting debts from a sole proprietorship — these must be settled before filing
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.
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.
One price for both cases: changing the basis costs the same as an extension.
Prices are in euros and are all-inclusive — nothing is added on top. Government fees are paid separately and directly: ~€230 per person for status, including biometrics and an ID card. VAT (PDV) of 20% does not apply to these services. SVOY initial consultation — 80 €, credited in the cost of support. The short initial call is free.
Housing rental and purchase, documents, bank accounts and taxes, schooling, driving licence — 40 services in Serbia, each has its own price.
