Foreign workers

Bosnia and Herzegovina sets a yearly quota of work permits for foreign citizens (more than 7,000 for 2025); construction and manufacturing receive the most.

  1. Find a job on ZIP.ba and ask the employer whether they hire foreign workers.
  2. The employer applies for your work permit (radna dozvola) at the employment service.
  3. You apply for temporary residence at the Service for Foreigners’ Affairs (Služba za poslove sa strancima).

Rules, documents and quotas change — the employer and the Service for Foreigners’ Affairs give the current requirements. ZIP.ba does not issue permits or charge candidates.
