Do not confuse it with another Serbia document

Serbia does not use one frame for everything. This page is about work permit — 35 × 45 mm. The documents below are cut to a different size, so a file prepared here will not fit them.

04What we fix

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes

Fixed for free

  • Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain light background.
  • Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
  • Frame. Exactly 35 × 45 mm, by the document’s rules.
  • A light shadow on one side of the face. Gently brightened.
  • File and print sheet. A file to the document’s rules and a 10 × 15 or A4 sheet to print.

What can't be fixed for free, AI correction fixes

  • Hard shadows and uneven light on the face.
  • A smile, raised brows or a half-open mouth. Cropping keeps the face it was given.
  • Too few pixels. If the original is smaller than 413 × 531 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
  • Clothing and pose. Shoulders out of frame, body turned away from the camera.

05Good to know

Serbia-specific things to know

  • Serbia has no work permit by itself — employment is covered by the single permit to reside and work, filed online, and the work-permit photo is the photo of that application.
  • The single-permit lists say only «a foreign citizen's photo» and the file size in megabytes is stated inside the documentation app, while the printed «35x45mm, color, full face» belongs to the lists of the other grounds of temporary residence.
  • After approval the foreigner visits the authority's premises, where biometric data are taken and the biometric card is made, as the portal's eDelivery message says.
