Types of Work Visas in Serbia
The Serbian government issues a variety of visas to foreign nationals. Types of visas include:

Type A visa for airport transit
Type B visa for transit
Type C visa for short stay
Type D visa for temporary residence
Some of your employees may benefit from a Type C visa. This short-stay visa may be granted to individuals who wish to enter Serbia for business purposes, such as conferences or training workshops. The visa can be issued for single, double, or multiple entries into Serbia. Visitors with a Type C visa may not spend more than 90 days in Serbia.

In order to live and work in Serbia on a long-term basis, employees will need to obtain a temporary residence permit as well as a work permit.

Application Process
In Serbia, the processes of obtaining a work permit and a residence visa are closely tied to each other. The work permit must be secured by the employer. The process is as follows:

Before hiring a foreign worker, the employer must ask the National Employment Service (NES) to conduct a labor market test to ensure that there are no eligible Serbian nationals available to fill the position.
Within a month, the NES will conduct the test and issue a report to the employer.
If the NES finds a suitable candidate for the position, the employer should review the candidate’s qualifications. The employer is not obligated to hire any recommended candidates, but they will need to provide an explanation to the NES if they choose to move forward with a foreign applicant instead.
Once the need for a foreign worker is established, the employer may apply for a work permit from their local organization for employment affairs.
The processing time for a work permit may be one to two weeks.

A residence permit must then be obtained from the Serbian Ministry of Interior Affairs. Temporary residence visa applications should be submitted to the Serbian embassy or consulate in the prospective employee’s current country of residence. The applicant will need to provide the required documents listed in the previous section. It is necessary to secure a job offer before applying for a temporary visa for employment purposes.

Once the temporary residence visa and work permit have both been approved, the employee may travel to Serbia and begin working.

What Is The Validity Of The Portugal Work Visa?
Depending on the type of Portugal work visa for a temporary type work permit or residency work type permit, the validity period will differ.
For example, if you have applied for a temporary stay visa, you can live in Portugal for less than a year, allowing multiple entries during the validity of the visa. In addition, you can apply for a Short Stay or Temporary Stay Work Visa if your work period does not exceed one year. This visa is used for seasonal work or work purposes that require a short-term stay.
Whereas National Work Visas, known as residency or long-stay visas, allow you to work in Portugal for a period exceeding one year. National Visas are the most common visas used for work purposes.
With a Portugal residency visa, the holder is allowed two entries during a 4 months period. During this period, the visa holder must apply for their residency permits at the Immigration and Border Services (SEF). The residency permit can then be granted for up to 5 years, depending on the permit type.

What Are The Types Of Portugal Work Visas?
There are 2 main types of work visas that Portugal offers. These are known as "Temporary Stay Visas" and "Residency Visas." The two types of visas differ in validity and allow multiple entries into the country. The most common Portuguese national work visa types are:
Portugal Work Visa
A Portugal Work Visa is the most common work visa for employees working in Portugal. It is a standard residence permit that is valid for 1 year and is renewable for up to 5 years. If you have a work contract that exceeds 1 year, you will most likely apply for a Portuguese Work Visa.
Independent Work Visa
If you wish to work in Portugal independently, you can apply for a Temporary Stay or Residency Visa. However, a Temporary Stay Visa will allow you to work in Portugal for up to a year. Note that when applying for this visa, you are not allowed to work for a company in Portugal. All revenue generated should be external or online. A Temporary Visa is also known as a Digital Nomad Visa or an Independent Work Visa. If you are self-employed, then this is the perfect visa for you.
Highly Qualified Work Visa
A Highly Qualified Work Visa is issued to individuals who conduct scientific research or other highly qualified activities. Examples of Highly Qualified Workers include scientists, medical professionals, and engineers. Additionally, personals that are in the higher education teaching / professorial activity, highly qualified subordinate activity, show business, and performing artists can also apply.
EU Blue Card
An EU Blue Card is issued to those who have sought-after skills. It is an extremely popular option for professionals who reside outside the European Union. Note that to be eligible for an EU Blue Card, you will need to provide supporting documents that prove your education, skills, and experiences.
