Anybody got Serbian citizenship by residency?

[zarvenia]

Hello,
I want to get rid of my current citizenship, you can get Serbian citizenship after 3 years of residence.

However, you must not leave Serbia during this period; only 6 months leave allowed in 3 years.

Is there a way to get around this requirement?

(I have a citizenship in X country, residence permit in Y country; all of them have a mutual visa-free movement agreement with Serbia)

1. Isn't Serbia landlocked and borders eight (8) different other countries?
2. If affirmative, are the borders checked for people walking in and out of the countries?

Why would you to be citizen of a country you don't want to live in?

If you take smaller roads, you can usually enter and exit Serbia without checks. IIRC, the rural roads crossing the borders with North Macedonia and Montenegro especially are often unchecked. Especially on public holidays, early morning, or when it's too cold or too warm outside.

This is the probably the answer to your question.

You are saying the quiet part out loud! 😉

I was TOO afraid to mention this. smi(&%

PS. I prefer to pay a fee/penalty/fine (even +4 digits); they can call it whatever they want - instead of dealing with a border agent or any public official, for that matter. Exposure to negative, destructive, and unproductive people drains the h3ll out of my creativity and drive. 🙄

You haven't presented the case properly - which country's citizenship and residence where those countries have visa free movement agreements with Serbia? There are better options then Serbia if you are willing to invest.

Wait for Serbian residence and citizenship option up until they decide whether they'll go against the whole world again - thus losing Schengen area access. That will happen after the new European parliament and EC are constituted and POTUS is (re)elected, so by the end of this year. Those serbian people are so cut-off from reality that they can start another major conflit in WWI style - they already assasinated the Austro-Hungarian heir in 1914 🙄
