In last year it became evident that many of our clients had a need for issuance of a temporary stay in Serbia. Therefore, we have prepared several useful tips.
For submitting of request for approval of temporary stay it is necessary to enclose the following:
- valid travel document
- notification of flat
- two photographs (4 x 3 cm, colored, enface)

- proof of paid submission fee for stay
Temporary stay can be authorized to a foreign citizen if he/she, along with request, encloses proof:
- that he/she has enough means to support himself/herself;
- that he/she has health insurance (Please note: from our experience that proof is not always necessary);
- justification of the request (Please note: Temporary stay in accordance with purpose of temporary stay that can be authorized to a foreign citizen which intends to stay in the Republic of Serbia longer than 90 days.)
