Best for: Non-Schengen European base with strong tech and tax angles.
Serbia is one of the strongest non-Schengen European options — 90-day visa-free for most western passports, a clear residency permit path, and a lump-sum tax regime that's been a magnet for IT freelancers. Belgrade has the depth; Novi Sad is the lower-cost university alternative. Treat it as a Schengen-pause card or a multi-year base with the residency path.
Visa story
Long visa-free (90 days for most, with reset rules); residency permit for longer.
Open the per-city visa cards on each city page for the specific income tests, durations, and program names. None of this is legal advice — confirm with the consulate before booking.
