Serbia is the speed champion of European manpower corridors. As a non-EU state with a unified electronic permit procedure, it deploys Indian workers in 4–8 weeks — timelines the EU cannot match.
Why Serbia Is Faster
Since the 2024 reform, Serbia issues a single work-and-residence permit through one electronic application. There is no EU labour-market test, no separate residence step, and processing is measured in weeks. For employers on construction deadlines, that speed is decisive.
The Four Steps
- Single permit application — filed electronically with the complete candidate dossier we prepare
- Selection — video interviews with trade-tested candidates while the permit processes
- D visa and clearance — the long-stay visa at the Serbian mission plus Indian emigration clearance
- Staged deployment — first batches fly while later groups finish processing
What Serbian Employers Hire
Belgrade's construction boom, national road and rail programmes, and expanding factories drive demand for masons, shuttering carpenters, steel fixers, welders, machine operators and general labour — often in batches of 20–100.
Costs
Per-worker recruitment fee, modest permit and visa fees, and airfare. Serbian employers typically provide accommodation, which we factor into worker briefings so expectations match reality on day one.
Compliance
Every deployment runs under Government of India licence B-3260/DEL/COM/100/5/11259/2025 with verified contracts. Full sector details are on our Serbia hiring page — or send your requirement and we will confirm a deployment date.
