What type of worker, employment situation, occupation or professional activity is this pathway actually designed for?

This pathway is for foreign technicians who deliver, assemble, install or service machinery or equipment in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is a certificate of registered work for a short engagement, not a residence permit.

Does the applicant need a job offer, employer, sponsor, transfer relationship or other employer involvement? What is important about that employer relationship?

The relationship is between the Bosnian legal entity that engages the person and the foreign legal entity that sends them: the file needs the contract or cooperation agreement between the two showing that the person is engaged for delivery, assembly or servicing of the machinery or equipment, with the period of engagement.

Limits of the record
  • The certificate document list is cited from the ILO NATLEX reproduction of the Rulebook on Entry and Stay of Aliens 25/16; the Official Gazette original is published as scanned images only, and later amendments (83/22, 57/24) did not amend this article according to their captured texts.

What are the few decisive professional characteristics of the pathway: occupation, qualifications, experience, salary, skill level, shortage status, labour-market condition or equivalent?

The decisive fit is the technical engagement on machinery or equipment under an inter-company contract; the file consists of a copy of the travel document, that contract or agreement with the engagement period, and proof of payment of the administrative fee.

What work does the permission allow? Is the holder tied to an employer, occupation or sector? Can family accompany where clearly established?

The registration certificate lets the person work without a work permit only while a visa, visa-free stay or previously approved temporary residence is valid, for up to 90 days in a year (the 2023 amendment replaced "calendar year" with "a year"). Work may not start before the certificate is issued, and the employer may use the person only for the jobs named in the certificate. The permission is tied to the specific jobs and counterpart named in the certificate. The official source does not state whether family may accompany.

How long is the permission normally granted for, how is it renewed, and what longer-term residence direction exists if officially stated?

The certificate does not grant temporary residence and has no renewal track: it is capped at 90 days in a year, and anyone who intends to work longer must obtain a work permit and a residence permit on the basis of employment with a work permit.
