Serbia Tryout Work Permit

The shortest route onto a European pitch: a simpler visa process than the Schengen states, and a professional league watched by scouts from across Eastern Europe.

Serbia sits outside the Schengen area, which makes entry for a trial far quicker than Spain or Portugal. The trial is arranged with a club registered with the Football Association of Serbia, on a confirmed date running usually seven to fourteen days of training and practice matches.

The Serbian league is known as an export market for players: many professionals start there and move on to bigger leagues. That is its genuine strength for a player at the start of his path, and we put it plainly — a trial here is a launch point, not a final destination.
