Temporary Boravak: what nobody tells you before arriving

# Temporary Boravak The Boravak is the temporary residence permit that lets you legally live in Serbia. The process was digitized in 2024 via eRegistration but still requires specific documentation in Serbian, qualified electronic signature, and prior address registration. ## Key steps 1. Obtain Beli Karton (address registration) within 24h of arrival. 2. Gather documentation: passport, rental contract, proof of means. 3. Apply through eRegistration or in person. 4. Wait for resolution (4–8 weeks if everything is correct). ## Common mistakes - Incomplete documentation (the #1 cause of delays). - Not keeping Beli Karton up to date. - Mixing up requirements by residence category.
