As an incoming student you can stay in hostels or you can opt for private rental accommodation. Hostels are not as affordable as halls of residence/dormitories, however, for those international students who have not rented an apartment prior to their arrival in Niš, staying at a hostel while looking for a room/flat/house to rent is highly recommended. There are many hostels in or near the city center and their prices range from 10 to 20 Euros per bed per night. https://www.booking.com/hostels/city/rs/nis-rs.sr.html. Although more expensive, private accommodation is the most convenient yet affordable solution for the majority of incoming students. The rent for a studio is between 200 and 250 Euros per month, whereas a bigger flat may cost between 300 and 350 Euros. The rent does not include utilities (heating, electricity, cable TV, the Internet, water, garbage disposal, etc.), which range from 80 to 220 EUR per month, depending primarily on the size of the flat, the type of heating and the number of occupants). IRO Office at ACADEMY NIS will help you with all details and information. Also, IRO office can book accommodation for incoming students.
All international students have to register with the police/local authorities within 24 hours upon arrival in Serbia. International students who opt for private rental accommodation have to register with the police within 24 hours upon arrival in Serbia at the following address: Odeljenje granične policije za strance (Office for Foreigners of the Ministry of Interior), Bulevar 12. februar 89, Niš. The registration can be conducted exclusively in the presence of the flat/house owner. In case the flat/house owner is absent (due to illness, disability, work or another reason), a judicial authorization is issued to another person to conduct registration on behalf of the flat/house owner. International students are advised to go to this police station also accompanied by a local student volunteer (buddy) to avoid any misunderstanding due to a possible language barrier. In order to register, international students have to present a valid passport and an appropriate certificate from the ACADEMY Nis.
After registering with the police, international students will be issued a “white card”, which will allow them to reside in the Republic of Serbia in the following 90 days. Immediately upon being issued a white card, international students are required to submit a copy of it to the IRO of ACADEMY NIS (office 212).If an international student leaves the Republic of Serbia within the 90-day period granted for his/her stay, without applying for a temporary residence permit, he/she is obliged to register with the police within 24 hours for each subsequent re-entry into the country, following the procedure described above. International students need to register an address change in the Republic of Serbia with the police within 24 hours of the move.
International students who have been issued a white card, i.e. who have been granted a 90-day stay in Serbia, are obliged to apply for a temporary residence permit within those 90 days if they want to extend their stay in the country. They are advised to apply as early as possible, for a temporary residence permit. When applying for a temporary residence permit, it is necessary to submit the following documents:
