Professional guidance on the Serbia work visa and work permit (single permit) process for applicants from Pakistan, the UAE and worldwide: eligibility, documents and visa file preparation.
Serbia has become a popular European destination for skilled and semi-skilled workers from Pakistan, the UAE and other countries. To live and work in Serbia legally, a foreign national needs the correct permission from the Serbian authorities. Since 2024, Serbia uses a single (unified) permit that combines temporary residence and the right to work, applied for through the official online portal for foreigners.
The process involves several parties and steps, and mistakes in documents or the order of applications are a common reason for delays and refusals. ZANS Consultants explains the Serbia work permit route clearly, reviews your eligibility and helps you prepare a complete, well-organised file.
Employment in Serbia: the single permit is linked to employment with a Serbian employer, who is normally involved in the application.
Single permit application: the residence-and-work application is made online through the Serbian portal for foreigners and decided by the Serbian authorities.
Visa D for employment: citizens of countries that need a visa for Serbia, including Pakistan, usually apply for a long-stay visa (type D) at a Serbian embassy before travelling.
After arrival: registration of address and completion of the residence formalities in Serbia.
