Official link

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

This is a Serbian employment-based route leading to a single permit for temporary residence and work, based on an employment contract or another contract under the Labour Law. The official source describes several employment bases but does not separately set out every condition for this basis.

Limits of the record
  • The page describes several employment bases but does not isolate all employment-contract-specific qualifications.

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

An employer is involved: it must obtain information on the visa rules that apply to the nationality of the person it wants to employ, and it must initiate the labour market test procedure. The single residence and work permit request may be submitted by the foreign citizen or by the employer on their behalf as an authorised person, for a larger number of foreign workers it will hire.

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

For temporary residence based on an employment contract (or another contract under the Labour Law), the employer must initiate the labour market test procedure. The documentation includes the employer's rulebook excerpt on job systematisation (or, for employers with fewer than 10 employees, a statement) giving the type and degree of the required professional qualification, and the foreigner's diploma or certificate proving that qualification.
