The child is starting school
School, document recognition, and filing
The academic year in Serbia runs from September to June, with enrollment in spring. If a parent no basis for status, a child’s education can itself become the basis — we check this before choosing a school.
Who it suits. For families relocating with school-age children.
What is included
- School search: state, private, or international
- Nostrification of school documents
- Certified court translations
- Appointment scheduling and document submission
- We manage the process through to enrolment
What the package does not include
Paid separately and directly, with no markup from us.
- Certified translation of a document — from €30, this is the translator’s fee
- Government fee for nostrification: 94–112 €
- Status for a child: as a standalone service, a residence permit through family reunification costs €300, plus ~€230 in fees on top. If the parent has no qualifying grounds and status goes through study, that is €850
- Tuition payment
- Guaranteed admission
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.
