Frequently Asked Questions

Clear facts regarding Serbia’s real estate TRC route, timelines, and legal requirements.

Is there an official minimum property investment amount in Serbia?
No statutory minimum value exists under Serbian immigration law. While occasional third-party sources cite speculative figures like €250,000, official practice confirms any legally registered, habitable residential property qualifies. Realistic entry budgets range from €50,000 in regional towns to €70,000–€100,000+ in prime hubs like Belgrade and Novi Sad.
What is meant by the “habitable property” requirement?
The property must be a finished, functional residential apartment or house where you can legally establish physical residence and obtain a police registration card (Beli Karton). Commercial premises, unzoned land, or uncompleted construction shells do not qualify for immediate TRC issuance.
How long is the property TRC valid and how do I reach Permanent Residence?
Initial temporary residence cards are generally issued for up to 3 years. After completing 3 continuous years of temporary residency as a property owner, you become eligible to apply for Permanent Residence.
Can my family be included in the same application?
Yes. Your legal spouse and children under 18 years of age are granted temporary residency through family reunification based on your property title deed and registered residential address.
What are the government card and processing fees?
State administrative and biometric card production fees typically range between €154 and €230+ per applicant, in addition to standard notary deed certification and property transfer taxes.
