Q&A

What does a Serbian residence permit provide?

  1. The right to live and work in Serbia;
  2. Visa facilitation for other countries;
  3. Access to services of European banks;
  4. The right to obtain a residence permit for all family members;
  5. Access to healthcare and education markets on Serbian terms;
  6. The right to obtain a tax residency certificate of the republic;
  7. The opportunity to obtain permanent residency after 5 years of living in the country, and immediate eligibility for citizenship upon obtaining permanent residency if owning property.

What taxes and fees are associated with buying property in Serbia?

Property acquisition and resale tax:

  1. This tax amounts to 2.5% of the property’s value and is paid upon registering the purchase transaction. This tax is not payable when buying from a developer.
  2. Notary and administrative fees: These fees consist of several different payments, including a notary’s fee for document processing, registration fees, obtaining a certificate of ownership, and other administrative expenses. The amount of fees is insignificant and may vary depending on the property’s value and the specific region.
  3. Property tax: Property owners in Serbia are also required to pay an annual property tax, which is determined based on the cadastral value of the property and the rate set by the municipality.

If you are purchasing property through a legal entity, you may be eligible for a VAT refund on the property’s purchase price. There are several tax breaks and additional deductions that experienced local lawyers can advise on in each specific situation.

What benefits do you get when buying property in Serbia?

Visa-free regime, similarity to the Russian mentality, affordable cost of living, and the possibility of traveling to other European countries — all these are reasons why Serbia attracts a large number of expatriates.

People move here both for living and doing business: according to the Economic Registration Agency data, over 200 thousand Russians moved to Serbia last year, and about 3,300 individual entrepreneurs from Russia were registered.

The country’s official candidacy for EU accession adds additional attractiveness to it.

These facts together create a high demand for real estate in Serbia and, as a result, an increase in prices for residential and commercial properties, making them investment-worthy.

What do you need to know about the legal aspects of real estate transactions?

Conducting a real estate transaction in Serbia requires certain legal procedures and documents.

It can be difficult to navigate all the nuances, as the required documentation package may vary in each individual situation.

That’s why our company has a team of experienced lawyers who will fully support you and the transaction for the purchase of our real estate.
We provide complete information and assistance with collecting and verifying all necessary documents to ensure that the transaction is safe and legally sound.

How can I buy if I am not a Serbian citizen?

Acquiring property is possible even if you are not a Serbian citizen.
Moreover, in this case, you have the opportunity to obtain a residence permit through the purchase of real estate.

How can I discuss the purchase with you or view properties if I am in another city/country?

We offer phone consultations and online video tours from anywhere in the world.

How does one obtain a residence permit after purchase?

A residence permit in Serbia can be obtained through the purchase of any real estate: regardless of the amount and even during the construction of the purchased property.
