🇷🇸 Visa · Serbia
A visa to Serbia receive not needed
Russian citizens — visa-free entry, up to 30 days per visit.
That’s why we don’t offer a visa service here — and we won’t be selling one. The real the question comes later: what to do when the visa-free period ends, and you have no plans to leave.
Visa-free entry is about a trip, not a life
Entry is easy, which is exactly why many people wait until the last moment. And the sticking point is everything at the same:
The counter starts on day one
Visa-free period in Serbia — not a vacation you can extend at will. Count it from your entry date, and decide what to do next well before it runs out.
Without status, much is out of reach
Salaried employment, long-term rental, a bank account, insurance, enrolling a child in school — almost all of this comes down to a residence permit, not a border stamp.
Leaving and re-entering is not a solution
The ’drive to the border and back’ approach stops working sooner or later, and by then you are already dealing with a damaged entry history.
What you need instead of a visa
The grounds on which in Serbia most often receive long-term status. Which suits you depends on your income, work situation, and family plans:
- Boravak through your own company (d.o.o.) or sole proprietorship (preduzetnik)
- Boravak through employment — a single combined residence and work permit
- Boravak for study
- Family reunification
- Permanent residence — after three years of continuous residence permit
Requirements vary by category — we walk through the current ones at the consultation. Serbia: legal basis analysis, documents, timelines, and refusals — on SVOY Legal.
A visa is required for this destination
The real work starts here: we identify the grounds and the consulate, compile and review the file, find a slot, and prepare you for the interview. We also handle with previous refusals.
USA end-to-end — $750: case review, DS-160, documents, appointment booking and interview rehearsal, with the consular fee already included. Preliminary consultation is included in this price.
Frequently asked questions
Is a visa required to enter Serbia a Russian citizen?
Russian citizens — visa-free entry, up to 30 days per visit.
What if I want to stay longer?
Then what you need is not a visa but a status — a residence permit under one of the available grounds. It is processed on-site and takes time, so it’s best to start before the visa-free period ends, not in the final week.
Can you work and rent long-term on a visa-free stay?
Visa-free entry is about a trip, not a life. Salaried employment, a long-term lease, a bank account, and other essentials typically depend on your status. What is specifically available without it — we will work it out for your situation.
Where is a visa actually required?
To the USA, Schengen countries, and Canada. That is exactly what we do: we identify the right legal basis and the consulate, compile the dossier, find a slot, and prepare you for the interview.
