REGISTER YOUR ADDRESS

Once you arrive you are obliged to follow required procedures for foreigners. Within 24 hours you have to register your residence in Serbia with the local police station. If you are staying in a hotel, hostel or dormitory, registration will be completed automatically, while if you are staying in private housing you should register by yourself in the nearest police station after arrival. If you have contacted ESN prior to your arrival, your buddy will help you with this procedure.
