When administrative support is not enough

Legal assistance in complex immigration procedures in Serbia

Most procedures for regulating residence in Serbia can be completed successfully with properly prepared documentation. There are, however, situations in which standard administrative assistance is no longer enough.

A refused application, a problem with your residence status, an entry ban, misdemeanour proceedings or other legal issues require individual analysis and an appropriate legal strategy.

In such situations the Mihajlović Visa Center, with the support of an attorney admitted in the Republic of Serbia, provides legal assistance and representation in accordance with the applicable regulations.

In which situations can we help?

We provide support when a more complex immigration matter needs to be resolved, including:

  • refused applications for temporary residence
  • problems with extending residence
  • changing the legal basis of residence
  • questions regarding the lawfulness of residence
  • an entry ban or other restrictions on entering the Republic of Serbia
  • misdemeanour proceedings connected with residence status
  • communication with the competent authorities in more complex cases
  • legal analysis of individual cases

We analyse every case individually, because it is often the details that determine the best legal solution.

How do we approach such cases?

Unlike standard procedures, complex cases have no universal solution. We first analyse in detail:

  1. 1Step 1Your documentation
  2. 2Step 2The proceedings conducted so far
  3. 3Step 3The decisions of the competent authorities
  4. 4Step 4The reasons why the problem arose
  5. 5Step 5The options the regulations leave open in your particular case

Only then do we propose a further strategy. Our aim is not to offer a quick solution, but one that has a realistic chance of success.

How can we help?

Our support may include:

  • legal analysis of your case
  • communication with the competent authorities
  • preparation of submissions
  • assistance in gathering additional documentation
  • representation where permitted by law
  • coordination with other institutions where necessary
  • advice on the next steps

Why is legal analysis important?

In complex immigration procedures the documentation is often not the only problem. It is necessary to assess properly:

  • whether it is possible to remove the reasons that caused the problem
  • whether there is another legal basis for regulating residence
  • what the consequences of previous decisions are
  • which procedure represents the best solution in the specific situation

That is why we look at every case individually, rather than through ready-made templates.

More than administrative assistance

  • In the vast majority of cases administrative support is entirely sufficient. However, when a dispute arises or a legal problem appears, much more than a correctly completed form is often required.
  • That is precisely why the Mihajlović Visa Center works with the Jovana Mihajlović Law Office, which can provide full legal support in accordance with the applicable regulations of the Republic of Serbia.
  • This means the client does not have to look for a new office when the procedure becomes complicated, they can continue to receive support from the same team that already knows their case.
