Working in Serbia
Serbia is non-EU but has rapidly growing manufacturing investment from German, Chinese and Korean employers, plus a low cost of living. A work permit plus temporary residence is processed in 4 to 6 weeks — among the fastest in Europe. Cost of living is well below EU average; €400-600/month covers daily living for a single worker outside Belgrade. Limited established migrant communities but rapidly growing — most sites provide on-site accommodation and basic Serbian classes.

What this role looks like day-to-day
A typical shift on the line involves torquing fasteners to spec, monitoring a station's pneumatic-press cycles, and visually inspecting each part before passing it downstream. Most plants run 3-shift rotations (morning, afternoon, night) so your body acclimatises in 2-3 weeks. This role suits workers who can stand and repeat precise hand movements for 7-8 hours, focus on small details when tired, and follow strict safety procedures around heavy equipment.
