Digital Nomad and Remote Work in Serbia – Lawyer Support

Prepare for the future of work.

Digital Nomads are essentially tourists who will remain in Serbia for an extended stay, either working remotely as a freelancer or for a foreign employer.

Serbia’s biggest digital nomad hotspot is Belgrade, but amazing cities for digital nomads are also Novi Sad and Niš, which feature many coworking places and affordable accommodation.

Serbian law now recognises digital nomads as a category of temporary residence. The criteria and documents that currently apply to that category are verified case by case, so we do not publish a single income threshold or promise automatic eligibility.

Remote work for a foreign employer, your own foreign company or foreign clients must be distinguished from work for Serbian employers, businesses or clients. The appropriate residence and work status depends on your actual arrangement – and immigration status is not a tax exemption: working from Serbia can create Serbian tax and social-contribution obligations.

While we are actively working with the state authorities as Digital Nomad schemes are being introduced and implemented, we now can help our clients and you with:

• Planning for Digital Nomads in your immigration program

• Identifying tax breaks and other opportunities for your program within this schemes

• Remaining in compliance as this trend continues to expand

As the remote work and hybrid work revolution continues to take hold and becomes the new normal, we are here to help you figure it all out and plan ahead—so you can keep your workforce compliant. 

And if you’re an individual without an employer, we can assess which residence, work and tax route fits the way you actually work, before anything is filed.
