Hello guys, Do we have nairalanders here who are based in Serbia, if yes, can they enlighten us about general living in the country in respect to jobs opportunities, relationship with their citizens, advantages and disadvantages and general important informations that we will love to know about the country.

Anyone in Serbia here to tell us more about the country please.

I have visited Serbia and lived there for two months years back, what exactly do you want to know?

Generally, the country is not in the schengen zone, in the EU, and they do not use Euro, despite being in Europe and shares land borders with countries that are in the EU, in the schengen and uses Euro.

Outside Belgrade and Novi-Sad, there is really not much going on inland in of development.

The people are the most beautiful part of the country. Their hospitality, and you will feel right at home especially if you make effort to speak Serbian.

They are very pro-Russian, pro-China, and anti-Nato.

In all Eu countries I have been to, Serbian women are the top three in of beauty. Their men are very masculine, tall like goliath, and very sporty. Serbia is one of the countries with the tallest people in the world.

You will hardly find a racist there. Serbia is a country I felt absolutely good in as an African. They eat lots of meat, so if you are a vegetarian, you will suffer. If you like meat, then welcome.

Dont talk about Kosovo being an independent country, thats a redline you must not cross. You can be lynched on the street if you say that. Like seriously, they will hate you and the police will ignore you if you report.

Kosovo is a very soft spot in their heart, since Nato bombed Serbia in 1999 and gave Kosovo independence, while building America's largest military base in their territory (Bondsteel base).

I stayed there for just two months, but I made lots of friends I still keep in touch with till date. They are like Russians in a sense that they value real friendship, not the on-the-surface, fake and artificial friendship that is common elsewhere.

It is not a place to hustle though, they are broke. Not Nigerian broke, but broke in a European sense. Lots of people still earn less than 500 euros monthly, and I am being generous with that amount.

But if you want to have a simple life, work and live like a decent, law-abiding human being, its a good place.

my oga, good morning, longest time, abeg connect me with one Serbian babe 😚

Thanks for the update, I really appreciate it,
but do you think one can really succeed in Serbia with that 500 euro by paying bill and all that and also is there no room to improve such pay, I guess there must be ways to do it even if it will take some time.

Meanwhile do you think is somewhere you can really live a decent life and feel comfortable with all what life will present., am saying this because on as much we need money, we also know money is not everything, basic Amenities, security, good health e.t.c is still important and lastly do you think is very easy to get their visa compared to others.

Waiting to get more information and details about my above questions., thank man.

do you want to move as a student?because there is a Nigerian student group association on Instagram


Getting a students visa is not a problem.. Even the embassy at Abuja accept courier (your documents and port) if you live outside Abuja.

Zion86:
I actually want to enter through work permit though have not started the process yet., Do you reside in Serbia, if yes how is the general live over there, what are the kinds of job most available to foreigners and how is the pay like currently and also what is your general overview about the place.

Your input might help alot thanks bro.

I don't reside in Serbia knew few students studying in Serbia... Please be careful on the work permit 90% scams out there... Most agents will apply for visitors visa for you and you can't convert it.. Best way to enter Serbia is via student visa... Other ways to visit is through Serbia tourist visa or you have a valid schengen visa you can visit not to work.. Zero your mind on agent promising you work permit or work visa

For work in Belgrade; less than €500
Modeling gigs
Working at food outlets like KFC
Cleaning
Construction (like to help out in the site)
Barbing Hair
Factory work
Selling food to your other Africans

Thanks so much for the update, I actually have someone who want to help me with it he is based in Poland though, but I will carefully check which is cheaper if it is either schooling or the work permit then I decide., though the pay is really poor.

Meanwhile, if I may ask what will be the budget if you are to travel there via school inclusive of ✈️., any idea., if yes I will love to know., I appreciate your concerns God bless 🙏.

Serbia is a country where you will feel even more comfortable than the west if you have money. But to make even than 500 euros can be hard, unless you have a business.

It will even be harder as a foreigner who dont speak the language, unless you work in international companies that hired you as an expert. If this is your situation, then welcome.

Serbia has the same sweetness like Africa, where the people are warm at heart, welcoming, great food, and super extroverted. Serbs will touch you alot while they talk, and can invite you into their house same day they met you.

Belgrade is the party capital of Europe. Its a very fun place if you have money.

Lots of westerners are actually moving to Serbia, since serbs enjoy true freedom compare to the woke west. Just googel youtube about moving to Serbia, and you can get an idea what people are saying.

Serbs are the most patriotic people I have seen. They love their flag, their music, and their food. You can go to clubs and when the DJ play their traditional music, everyone start singing happily and dancing, especially if its live band.

But like most non-western countries, lots of Serbians are still plagued with the idea that their country is not good, and they have to move to the west to make it.

But those that moved always longed for home, and many indeed to move back if they have lots of money and for families.

This is a detailed and well written emphasis on the country Serbia, good to know they are free people with foreigners and also their way of life., well it is not a bad place for all you just said about them and at least still far better than BONGO (Nigeria) in all parameters., thanks a lot.

You mentioned Africa where the people are warm at heart, welcoming, great food, and super extroverted but most times, people say Africans are loud, wicked, not loving, backstab etc but I’d like to add that the reason why it seems like so in Africa is because Africans aren’t pretenders. They will show anger, show hatr#d if they feel same and are very expressive of how they feel.

You said Serbians are plaqued with the idea that their country is not great. I want to ask you Pansophist, what do you think of our country Nigeria? Would you say it’s one of the best place to live in the world? Maybe one of the best place to live for Africans or what advantages does Nigeria have over the western world? I love Nigeria but there is just too many challenges there.

My bro., going through education are students allowed to work in serbia., I need answers to this please or anyone in Serbia should throw more light on it.

It is about picking your poison.

Nigeria has its problems, just like every other places. Lots of people are moving back to Nigeria from the west always, and they have their reasons.

About wickedness and all those things you mentioned, these are human nature. People are nice and wicked everywhere. But the wickedness is compounded in a society where poverty is rampant.
