# Serbia's digital nomad visa: no dedicated visa > Serbia has no dedicated digital nomad visa. What that means for remote workers, the closest route that does exist, and the official source — checked 2026-08-18. Source: https://doastretch.com/nomad-visa/serbia/ Serbia · digital nomad visa · 2026 Serbia has no dedicated digital nomad visa. Here is what that means in practice, what route remote workers actually use, and how the days are counted. Next step **How we know** Every figure here is as mup.gov.rs publishes it, checked 18 August 2026. Where a number is our own arithmetic rather than a printed figure, the row says so. Sources are listed further down the page. ## What to know before you apply No dedicated digital nomad visa is in force. Article 40(4) of the Law on Foreigners (as amended by Sl. glasnik RS 62/2023) empowers the Government to create categories including "stranci digitalni nomadi" by decree, and Art. 51(1) required that decree within six months — but the implementing Uredba the Ministry of the Interior publishes is still 13/2020 as amended by 69/2022, which lists only startup, investor, talent and Serbian-origin categories. So the category is enabled in primary law, not implemented, and not offered as a service. The government's own digital-nomad page describes tax relief, not a visa route. What does exist: 90 days visa-free in any 180; a D visa for 90-180 days; temporary residence up to three years on the Art. 40(1) grounds; and the jedinstvena dozvola (single residence-and-work permit) for up to 36 months, e-application only since 01.02.2024, decided within 15 days — the realistic routes for a location-independent worker being self-employment (registered entrepreneur) or independent professional. Tax: a non-resident's income is exempt where they spend at most 90 days in Serbia in a 12-month period beginning or ending in the tax year and the payer is a non-resident not carrying on activity in Serbia (ZPDG Art. 9b); residency arises at 183 days or with a domicile or centre of business and life interests, and any part of a day counts as a full day except transit (Art. 7). ## What it means for your tax days A visa is permission to stay; tax residency follows the days you actually spend. Check Serbia's tax authority for the day test that applies to you — and count the days either way. ## Sources - [mup.gov.rs](https://www.mup.gov.rs/wps/portal/sr/gradjani/Informacije%20za%20strance) — official source, checked 2026-08-18 - [welcometoserbia.gov.rs](https://welcometoserbia.gov.rs/) (official), retrieved 2026-08-18 - [mfin.gov.rs](https://www.mfin.gov.rs/propisi/zakon-o-porezu-na-dohodak-gradjana) (official), retrieved 2026-08-18 ## Questions people ask about Serbia **Does Serbia have a digital nomad visa?** No. Serbia has no dedicated digital nomad visa.

Check Serbia's tax authority for the day test that applies to you. **How does Stretch help with the Serbia stay?** Log the day you land and Stretch counts the days against the permission you are on, shows the date you must be out, and reminds you at 14, 7, 3 and 1 days. It also tallies the days that count towards tax residency, so the 183-day question answers itself. The counting and the alerts are free, forever.
