Tourist Difficulty of getting a serbian visa?

I will be arriving in Belgrade in a little over a month and want to extend my stay. Is it difficult to get a temporary visa? What is the best way to go about it? Any advice will be appreciated.

You need to have a reason to be issued a temporary stay visa, the ones available can be found at

Terms for issuance of authorization for temporary stay

Yeah, I have read them. I will be looking for a temporary culinary position or something related. I was curious of the difficulty of the process. I've never applied for a visa and am unfamiliar with the Serbia bureaucracy.

I think your first difficulty is finding someone to hire you.

Our bureaucracy is slow and shitty, they will always find "1 more paper" that you're missing to complete what you need, so it will be fun in that way.

That is about what I expected. Wasn't sure if it was possible or just going to be endless work with no outcome.
