These are our fees. They do not include what is paid to the state, to a notary, to a translator or to an insurer, which is set out separately at the bottom rather than folded into a package that hides it.
A quoted figure is what you pay. If your file turns out to need work beyond what the line covers, you hear the number before that work starts, not on the invoice.
Our fees are one part of the bill. What the state, the court translator and the insurer charge, and how the total moves by ground, is worked through on the full cost of a Serbian residence permit.
Filing guarantee: if an application is returned or refused because of an error on our side, we correct it and refile without charging our fee again. Approval is the authority's decision, and no honest firm can guarantee it.

Government fees
What the state charges, separately from our fees. You pay these yourself, or we pay them for you and pass them on at cost, with the receipts. The amount is the same either way, because the tariff sets it, not whoever files.

What these fees do not include
Third-party costs are passed through at what they actually cost. They are listed here rather than absorbed into a package, because a package that hides them is how a quote ends up looking better than it is.
| Government feesListed in full above. You pay them yourself, or we pay them for you, with the receipts | at cost |

| Court-certified translationSet by the translator, not by us | per page |
| Health insuranceBy age and coverage period | varies |

Frequently asked questions
Yes for the work the line describes. What sits outside it is the third-party costs listed above, which are passed through at cost. If your file needs work beyond the line, you hear that number before the work starts rather than on the invoice.
