The purchase and sale of real estate in the Republic of Serbia is a complex legal procedure that requires careful adherence to all legal regulations. A key element of this process is the purchase agreement, which must be in written form and notarized by a public notary to have legal validity. A properly drafted contract protects the rights and obligations of both parties, prevents potential legal disputes, and ensures the legality of the transaction.

The acquisition of real estate by foreign nationals in Serbia is regulated by the Law on Property Relations and the Law on Foreigners. Foreign individuals and legal entities may purchase property on a reciprocity basis, meaning Serbian citizens must have equivalent rights in the buyer’s country.

The employment of foreign nationals in Serbia is regulated by the Law on Employment of Foreigners, which defines the conditions under which foreign citizens may work in the country. A foreign national must obtain both a residence permit and a work permit to engage in legal employment.

Foreign nationals can obtain legal residence in Serbia based on various grounds, regulated by the Law on Foreigners. Residence permits are categorized as temporary and permanent residence, depending on the duration and purpose of stay.
