Support for companies

Employing foreign nationals in Serbia

A growing number of companies in Serbia are facing a shortage of labour and hiring workers from abroad. At the same time, the regulations governing the employment of foreign nationals require careful preparation of the documentation and proper conduct of the procedure.

The Mihajlović Visa Center supports employers throughout the entire process of employing foreign nationals, from the first assessment of the possibilities to the issuing of the required permits and the ongoing monitoring of employees' status.

Our aim is to give employers a simpler, safer and more efficient procedure, with a minimum of administrative burden.

Who is this service intended for?

We work with:

  • manufacturing companies
  • construction companies
  • hotels and restaurants
  • logistics and transport companies
  • IT companies
  • healthcare institutions
  • other companies that employ foreign nationals

Whether you are planning to employ one worker or a larger number of staff, we can adapt our support to the needs of your company.

How can we help?

We provide support at every stage of the procedure:

  • analysis of the possibilities for employing a foreign national
  • assessment of the appropriate legal basis
  • preparation of the required documentation
  • coordination with the employee
  • communication with the competent institutions
  • monitoring the procedure
  • assistance with the extension of permits
  • support in the event of a change of employer or other changes in status

Our aim is to let your team focus on the business while we handle the administrative and legal side of the procedure.

What we pay particular attention to

Every procedure for employing a foreign national requires good coordination between the employer, the employee and the competent institutions. We pay particular attention to:

  • proper preparation of the documentation
  • consistency of the information provided by the employer and the employee
  • compliance with statutory deadlines
  • responding promptly to requests from the competent authorities
  • planning the next steps in order to avoid interruptions in the employment

In this way we aim to reduce the administrative burden on the employer and make the procedure as efficient as possible.

Support that continues after the permit is issued

Our cooperation does not end with the issuing of the permit. Where needed we also provide support in situations such as:

  • extension of the permit
  • change of position
  • change of employer
  • the arrival of the employee's family members
  • other issues that may arise while a foreign national is working in Serbia

This way companies gain a long-term partner, not just a one-off administrative service.

Do you also need broader legal support?

Many companies employing foreign nationals also need other legal services, from drafting contracts and legal advice to support in international business.

Through the Jovana Mihajlović Law Office we also provide broader legal support to companies operating in Serbia.
