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

The request is submitted on the prescribed form: https://www.mfa.gov.rs/sites/default/files/inline-files/Obrazac_8_-_Pri…, with which it is necessary to attach a document on the basis of which the identity of the applicant is determined - passport or ID card.

A citizen who emigrates abroad is obliged to deregister his residence in the Republic of Serbia, for which he is issued an appropriate certificate.

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