Will the APR accept a virtual address at registration?

Yes. The APR registers any address on the territory of Serbia and does not ask for a lease agreement. The contract will be needed later — by the tax office when issuing the PIB and by the bank when opening the account.

Will a bank open an account for a company with a virtual address?

Yes, banks accept a virtual office contract as proof of address. Some additionally ask for a description of the activity and details of where the director actually works.

Can you register for VAT with a virtual office?

Formally yes, but on voluntary VAT registration the inspector often visits the address and expects to see a company presence. For VAT payers we recommend a physical office.

What happens to the mail?

Receive, scan, and forward business mail. Notifications for tax authority letters and legal notices.

Can a virtual office be used for a residence permit?

The ground for the residence permit is the company itself, not the type of office. A virtual office contract is accepted, but the MUP inspector may ask where the director actually works; for the residence permit a physical office is safer.

How do you terminate the contract and change the address?

€39 per rental month. The rental term, mail handling and extra services are agreed in the contract; there is no automatic renewal. Call or send an enquiry about residence permits, sole traders, companies, accounting or an office in Serbia.

Virtual office in Serbia: a registered company address in Belgrade and Novi Sad

A virtual office is a real address at which a company is registered with the APR and receives its mail, without renting separate premises. Below: how it works under Serbian rules, who it suits, what the service includes and when a physical office is the better choice.

What a virtual office is and whether it is legal in Serbia

The Companies Act requires a company to have a sedište — an address on the territory of Serbia from which it is managed. It is entered in the APR register and printed on invoices and contracts. The law does not require the company to own the premises or rent a whole office: a contract granting the right to use the address and receive correspondence is enough.

A virtual office is exactly that kind of contract with an operator who holds the premises, receives the mail, puts up a nameplate and confirms the contract during a tax inspection. The service is legal and widely used by sole traders and small DOO companies; the risk arises only with addresses that have no real servicing, which the tax office treats as fictitious and for which it refuses the PIB or VAT registration.

Who a virtual address suits

A virtual address does not suit activities tied to premises: trade, warehousing, manufacturing, catering, medicine. For those, the inspection checks the premises themselves and whether they match the activity.

Sole traders on the flat-rate tax — freelancers and IT contractors who work remotely
DOO companies with no employees and no VAT registration: development, consulting, online services
Foreign founders at the registration stage, before moving to Serbia
Holding and project companies that need an address rather than a workplace
Companies from other cities that need an address in Belgrade or Novi Sad

What the tax office checks at a virtual address

The Tax Administration (Poreska uprava) issues the PIB automatically at registration, but reserves the right to check the address — on voluntary VAT registration, on a change of sedište or on a signal from a bank. The inspector visits the address and verifies whether the register matches reality.

The contract with the operator: its term, the details of the premises, the right to use the address as the sedište
A nameplate with the company name and a mailbox
Who receives the mail and how it reaches the director
Whether the director or an authorised person can attend at the address by arrangement
Whether hundreds of companies are registered at the address without being serviced
