Hello everyone, I'm gonna go to Serbia, Belgrade very soon and heard about registration there within 24hours of arrival. Does anyone know how it works? Actually staying in bnb but host told me "white card" or bella karta is required for up to 3 month stay... does anyone know about it?thanks a lot!

Every foreign visitor is required by law to be registered in the city they are staying in. You can't do it yourself. Either hotel or apartment owner must do that in the local police station. As an outcome you will have a piece of paper confirming your registration (beli karton).

Technically you may be asked to show it if you are stopped by the police or during the border cross. In reality it almost never happens. I have lived in the country for over 4 years and I wasn't asked for it a single time. And I cross the border like 20-30 times a year.

Worst case scenario if it's a really unlucky phase of the moon and official demands the paper no matter what, it'd be a fairly small fine you will have to pay it officially (not a bribe) via bank.

PS. I'm not a lawyer and this is not an official recommendation. Just make sure you fully understand the risks and potential outcome. And it's probability.

PPS. It's different in Montenegro in the past year. Those guys started to enforce the rule quite aggressively.

Ok!.thanks a lot for ur answer😊👍👍

Hey there! I’m heading to Belgrade next week 🙂 Anyone in town?

Yes, I have been living in 🇷🇸 for over 2 years. Which day will you arrive in Belgrade?

Hi is anyone in Serbia? I’m here now

Hey I’m in Belgrade for the next week, maybe longer 👋🏻

my best friend lives there, Aleksa will reach out

hi! I am in Belgrade tonight only before going to liberland tomorrow. Message me if you'd like to meet up.

Hi guys, anyone here who brought their drone into Serbia before? I'm traveling to Belgrade on Monday, but heard customs are quite strict. Not sure if I should risk bringing my Mini 5 Pro or not.

The law is strict. You must notify local militaries about your flights upfront, get some approvals, etc. I even tried contacting them, but nobody ever answers to the official emails I found in the internet.

In reality nobody cares. Just don't fly in the forbidden zones (around airport / military bases / etc).

I regularly go in and out with my drone. Like I crossed the border with it dozens of times throughout the past few years. Nobody asked any questions.

I heard they can check your luggage at customs at the airport and confiscate it. That‘s my main worry.

I've never heard a single story about it. Neither experienced it myself. And I lived 4 years in Serbia, so I know some people from there.

That’s good to hear. Tbf I only read it in blogs & AI, but there was not much personal experience shared anywhere.

Cause I‘m going to film a client project, so just want to minimize risk.

heya, just landed in belgrad

The Belgrade waterfront is one of the most convenient places in Europe if you want a modern and easy lifestyle - I’m back in Belgrade again after testing it in July.

What's the best way to find accommodation for 1-2 month stay around this waterfront?

I use Airbnb. What you can do is book something short term on Airbnb make friends with the landlord then pay them in cash - many accept that

Thanks. I wanted to do that, but thought the chance of the same Airbnb being totally available for the upcoming months unlikely.

But you've had success with it?

I tried it once it worked. Now I’m just doing a month long on Airbnb

Do you know why many people and shops in Serbia only accept cash? Many mobile phone retailers told me that they only accept cash.

Avoiding taxes 🙃

Is anyone up for a meetup at a nice café in Belgrade? I am interested in making friends from a different culture.😎
