Check-in and check-out of stay

TEMPORARY STAY ABROAD 

In accordance with the Law on Residence and Domicile of Citizens, citizens of the Republic of Serbia may submit a request through the diplomatic-consular mission for temporary stay abroad longer than 90 days. Article 19, paragraph 2 of the Law stipulates that “citizens who go abroad with the intention to stay continuously abroad for no longer than 90 days, and extend their stay, are obliged to report a temporary stay abroad longer than 90 days to the competent authority, through the diplomatic-consular mission.”

The request is submitted on the prescribed FORM no. 8, along with which it is necessary to present a document for the purpose of verifying the identity of the applicant – passport or ID card.

A citizen who is moving abroad is obliged to deregister their residence in the Republic of Serbia, for which a corresponding certificate is issued.

The application for temporary stay abroad for a minor is submitted by one of the parents if the parents have the same registered address.

In the case when the parents do not have the same registered address, the application for the minor is signed by both parents or by one parent with the written consent of the other parent.

· a written statement by the applicant in free form declaring that the person is emigrating from the Republic of Serbia,

Proof of inability is considered to be medical documentation in the case of illness or disability translated into Serbian by an authorized translator, or a statement by the applicant in the case of restriction or prohibition of movement.
