How this photo is submitted
Depends on how you apply
This document has more than one application route: on some you upload or hand in your own picture, on others it is taken at the appointment. The numbers on this page are for the routes where you bring your own photo — check your file against them before you submit it.
What we don't check
- When the picture was taken. We read the date from the file if it survived, but re-saving wipes it — and many authorities ask for a recent photo.
- Whether the picture was edited. Retouching, filters and AI changes cannot be proved from a file.
- Whether you have sent this picture before. Some authorities reject a photo that was already used in an earlier application.
- How the photo will be printed. Paper, trimming and print quality cannot be judged from a file.
- The route you apply through. Some countries want a code from an approved photographer, or take the picture at the office themselves.
What this document is
Working in Serbia no longer means one paper for residence and another for the job: the Ministry of the Interior handles employment through a single permit to reside and work, and its checklist sits on the same temporary-residence page. That is the whole reason this page and the residence one carry identical numbers — the employment section repeats the same photo line as every other section. The narrower route, a personal work permit through the National Employment Service, is not covered by that source, so its own list has to be checked separately.
