Establish your company, residence, and your life in Serbia
Start in Serbia is a law consultancy advising foreign nationals and founders on business registration, visas, residence permits, citizenship, and property transactions. We prepare the filings, attend the appointments, and keep your matter moving, from first enquiry to registered entity.
Start in Serbia is an independent law consultancy. We are not affiliated with or acting on behalf of any government agency.
Three practice areas, one point of contact
Most clients arrive with a single question and discover their matter touches all three. You deal with one adviser throughout.
Business registration & closure
Incorporation, registration, and the tax and banking steps that follow, handled end to end so you can trade.
Visas, residence & citizenship
From your first entry visa through temporary residence, permanent residence, and naturalisation, prepared correctly the first time.
Buying & selling property
Title checks, contracts, notary appointments, and registration, with the reciprocity questions foreign buyers must answer settled up front.
Opening a company in Serbia, in four steps
Registration and residence are separate processes that are best planned together. We sequence them so your permit application is not held up by a missing corporate document.
Discuss your companyAssessment
We review your nationality, activity, and intended structure, then confirm the route and documents required.
Documents
Founding act, decisions, translations, and certifications prepared and executed, remotely where permitted.
Registration
We file with the government agency, then handle tax registration and your corporate bank account.
Residence
Temporary residence and work rights applied for on the basis of your new company, then renewed on schedule.
We take the matter from first enquiry to final stamp
Relocating involves more moving parts than most people expect: institutions that do not speak to one another, documents that expire, and appointments that must be booked in a particular order. We hold the whole file.
You are told plainly what your case requires, what it does not, and where the genuine risks are. Where a matter falls outside our remit, we say so and refer you on.
Speak to someone who knows the Serbian process
Whether you are still weighing the move or ready to file, you will get a straight answer about what your situation requires.
