What type of worker, employment situation, occupation or professional activity is this pathway actually designed for?

This pathway is for employees of a foreign exhibitor who take part in a fair or exhibition event in Bosnia and Herzegovina at which their employer exhibits. It is a short-term work authorisation (a certificate of registered work), not a residence or business permit.

Does the applicant need a job offer, employer, sponsor, transfer relationship or other employer involvement? What is important about that employer relationship?

What are the few decisive professional characteristics of the pathway: occupation, qualifications, experience, salary, skill level, shortage status, labour-market condition or equivalent?

Limits of the record
  • The certificate document list is cited from the ILO NATLEX reproduction of the Rulebook on Entry and Stay of Aliens 25/16; the Official Gazette original is published as scanned images only, and later amendments (83/22, 57/24) did not amend this article according to their captured texts.

What work does the permission allow? Is the holder tied to an employer, occupation or sector? Can family accompany where clearly established?

The registration certificate lets the person work without a work permit only while a visa, visa-free stay or previously approved temporary residence is valid, for up to 90 days in a year (the 2023 amendment replaced "calendar year" with "a year"). Work may not start before the certificate is issued, and the employer may use the person only for the jobs named in the certificate. The permission is tied to the specific jobs and counterpart named in the certificate. The official source does not state whether family may accompany.

How long is the permission normally granted for, how is it renewed, and what longer-term residence direction exists if officially stated?

The certificate does not grant temporary residence and has no renewal track: it is capped at 90 days in a year, and anyone who intends to work longer must obtain a work permit and a residence permit on the basis of employment with a work permit.
