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

The law gives two alternatives: an expert or key person important to a project significant for BiH, or a foreign national sent to work in BiH under a fixed-term contract between a foreign employer and a BiH service recipient based on an international tender.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The SFA PB-5.6 checklist expressly documents the significant-project branch; its paperwork for the tender-contract alternative was not found.
  • No independent literal or legal review has been performed.
  • Law on Foreigners 88/15, Article 77(2)(h)
    ako su kao stručnjaci ili ključna lica značajna za realizaciju projekta ili ako su upućeni na rad u BiH na osnovu ugovora sklopljenog između stranog poslodavca i korisnika usluga u BiH po osnovu međunarodnog tendera na određeno vrijeme

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

For the significant-project branch, the SFA asks for competent-authority evidence that the project matters to BiH, proof the person is needed, the person’s function and engagement period, and a host cost undertaking. The second statutory alternative instead requires the foreign-employer/BiH-recipient fixed-term contract based on an international tender.

Limits of the record
  • The current application checklist for the second alternative is not established.
  • No independent literal or legal review has been performed.

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 either an expert/key role important to a significant BiH project or the defined foreign-employer contract awarded through an international tender. The cited sources set no general minimum investment or salary.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Project importance and role must be evidenced for the first alternative; no salary/investment threshold is stated.
  • No independent literal or legal review has been performed.

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

The qualifying project work may be performed without a work permit. The statutory work-registration certificate applies to a person already staying on a visa, visa-free basis or temporary residence; a person granted temporary residence under Article 71(d) does not receive that certificate. Work is tied to the qualifying project or contract branch; family treatment is not stated.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The sources do not state a family-accompaniment rule.
  • No independent literal or legal review has been performed.

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

Temporary residence is generally granted for up to one year and may be extended on the same basis. Time on the Article 77 no-work-permit residence basis is excluded from the ordinary permanent-residence qualifying period.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Permanent-residence eligibility is not established on the excluded Article 77 basis.
  • No independent literal or legal review has been performed.

These are the answers currently recorded in the catalogue. A missing or partial answer is not an eligibility decision.
