Common questions

How can I move to Serbia?
The catalogue covers these routes: residence through property, residence through a sole trader, residence through a company. The reference section describes 13 relocation programmes in total, with official conditions and links to government sources. Which route fits depends on whether you have a job, a business, property or relatives in the country - we'll go through it on a free consultation and pick the one that works.
What services can I arrange in Serbia?
3 options across 5 areas: residence through property, residence through a sole trader, residence through a company, crypto exchange, cards issued abroad, car rental, SIM cards for travel, health insurance and 7 more. Every option comes with a price, a timeline and the scope of work; the provider is a licensed local expert.
Can services in Serbia be arranged remotely, without flying in?
Partly: 2 of 3 options are handled remotely, the rest need you there in person (usually biometrics or a signature at the bank). The format (“Remotely” / “In person”) is on each service card, visible before you send a request.
How long does it take in Serbia?
It depends on the service: the fastest take from 60 days, the longest (citizenship, investment programmes) up to 4 months. The exact timeline is on each service card - that's the expert's working time, excluding queues at government bodies.
What does a consultation cost, and is there a markup on top?
The consultation is free and commits you to nothing. You sign the contract directly with the expert and pay their official price list - Pactors adds no markup and takes no commission from you.
After how many years can I get citizenship by naturalisation in Serbia?
The standard naturalisation route in Serbia takes from 3 years of legal residence (residence permit → permanent residence → passport). Faster routes: Ethnic Serbs and the diaspora — no residence requirement (a simplified declaration); marriage — 3 years. This is a 2026 guide - the exact term depends on the route, and we'll confirm it on a consultation.
