Relocating to Serbia in 2025: Legal Jobs, Lifestyle, and What Nigerians Should Expect

Why Serbia?

Serbia is quickly becoming a top destination for skilled and semi-skilled African workers seeking legitimate relocation opportunities in Europe. Located in Southeast Europe, Serbia offers a growing job market, affordable living, and fewer entry barriers compared to Schengen countries.

For Nigerians seeking genuine employment opportunities—not scams—Serbia offers a legal and structured path through sponsored employment.

👷‍♂️ Jobs Nigerians Can Get in Serbia (Legally)

Serbia has a demand for skilled and blue-collar roles, especially in sectors like:

• Construction
  
• Welding and Fabrication
  
• Warehouse & Logistics
  
• Factory Work
  
• Maintenance and Skilled Trades
  

These jobs typically come with official work contracts and visa sponsorship, which means you don’t need to apply for a visa independently.

✅ Important: With EasyJapa, you only apply to jobs that already include sponsorship and legal documentation.

🛂 Visa Process: What’s Involved?

For Nigerian workers, the most common route is the Serbian temporary residence permit, which is obtained through employer sponsorship.

Here’s how it works:

1. Secure a job through EasyJapa with visa sponsorship
   
2. Your employer or a legal representative submits your permit request online via Serbia’s e-Visa portal.
   
3. You prepare supporting documents such as:
   
   • Valid international passport
     
   • Medical clearance
     
   • Signed employment contract
     
   • Passport photo, and more
     
4. Once approved, you visit the Serbian Embassy or Consulate for visa stamping.
   
5. You relocate legally with complete documentation.
   

🖥️ Note: Serbia’s e-Visa platform enables sponsored applicants to initiate their residence permit process online,, reducing wait times and paperwork.

💶 Cost of Living & Lifestyle

Serbia is one of the most affordable European countries, especially compared to Germany or France.

Work Culture:

• Most roles involve 8–10 hour shifts, Monday to Friday.
  
• Employers value punctuality, reliability, and basic communication skills (often in English)
  

Language Tip: Although Serbian is the official language, basic English is widely used in workplaces that hire international staff.
