Moving to Serbia | Emigrating to Serbia
Moving to Serbia: Serbia is an Eastern European country that is becoming more and more popular as a destination for expats. There are many advantages for expats living in Serbia: the relaxed lifestyle, the extremely modest living costs, the friendly, open and extroverted inhabitants, the varied nightlife and the fascinating landscapes.
A major attraction for many expats is the low cost of living in Serbia, where one can live a very comfortable and luxurious lifestyle on a modest income.
However, this also varies depending on the city, as Belgrade, for example, is considerably more expensive than other cities in the country. So, it is definitely worth your while to think in detail about where you would like to live in Serbia.

Climate
The climate in Serbia varies slightly depending on the region, with a continental climate in the north that produces long, warm summers and relatively cold winters. In the south of the country, the Mediterranean influences make the summers relatively dry, while the winters are also mostly cold, with heavy snowfalls.
These factors should be considered when choosing your new home in Serbia, since the climatic conditions in this relatively large country, depending on the region can be very different.
Health & Education System
Health care in Serbia is relatively advanced and widely available, although clearly the quality cannot be compared to that in Switzerland. There is a state health service, which expats can access if they work in Serbia.
Nevertheless, it is advisable for individuals moving to Serbia to take out private health insurance as this will further increase the quality of health care. It will also allow access to private medical facilities that offer better services and thus more of a level people from Switzerland are used to.
Working in Serbia
Those who want to work in the Eastern European country of Serbia first needs a residence permit and then a work permit. If you want to gain these permits it is definitely helpful if you have a high level of education or relevant professional experience in the respective areas where you want to find a job.
In general, the Serbian economy is currently booming but is still struggling with a relatively high unemployment rate. Therefore, it is definitely worth highlighting that you are particularly well qualified for the positions you are applying for.
And of course, it is also a very good idea to look for work for one of the international companies, as they tend to pay higher wages. This is particularly important, as average wages in Serbia are very low, especially in comparison to Switzerland, which is why many jobs would not be an option for expats from Western countries.
However, if you already have a degree of financial security, then you will live an extremely relaxed lifestyle in Serbia. This is because the cost of living in Serbia is moderate compared to Western European standards.
