Setting up a Serbian business — the hard way vs the WarmShell way
DOING IT ALONE
- Registering a DOO without speaking Serbian — months of back-and-forth with APR (the business registry)
- Finding a Serbian accountant who understands foreign founders and speaks English or Russian is a quest
- The residence permit process is opaque — MUP forms in Serbian, undocumented requirements, no clear timeline
- Serbian banks want local contacts, translated documents, and personal visits with a translator
WITH WARMSHELL
- DOO registration in 5–7 business days — we handle APR filings, founding documents, PIB, and tax registration end-to-end
- Russian and English-speaking accountants with direct experience serving international founders in Belgrade
- Full residence permit support — legal consultation, document checklist, lawyer coordination, and application tracking
- In-person bank account opening escort on the Advanced tier, with pre-qualification and translation
0% of our clients receive their residence permit within the first 6 months

“I moved from Moscow to Belgrade in 2024. WarmShell handled DOO registration, monthly bookkeeping, and my residence permit — I didn't have to speak a word of Serbian. Everything was in Russian through a single dashboard.”
