FAQ
Serbia company formation questions
Can I open a Serbian bank account remotely?
Most Serbian banks ask the director to visit once for identity checks. We book the appointment and sit with you, usually on the same trip you collect your residence card.
Does a Serbian company give me Schengen access?
No. Serbia is in Europe but outside the Schengen area. Many clients start in Serbia and later use the Portugal or Czech routes for EU residence.
How much tax will a small consulting DOO pay?
Corporate income tax is 15% on profit. Dividends to non-resident owners are withheld at 20% unless a tax treaty lowers it.
