Immigration to Serbia is the entry of people for permanent residence in the Republic of Serbia. Based on the United Nations report Trends in International Migrant Stock: The 2013 Revision, Serbia had an immigrant population of 532,457 (5.6%).
Most immigrants in the country are from elsewhere in the former Yugoslavia. Many Bosnian and Croatian Serbs came to Serbia as refugees during the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s. Serbia is also home to smaller numbers of immigrants from various other countries. Regarding the European migrant crisis, Serbia is part of the major transit route in the Balkans.
After the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, more than 100,000 Russian citizens and 18,000 Ukrainian citizens arrived in Serbia within 7 months. Within the first year of the war, 148,927 Ukrainian and 294,656 Russian citizens arrived to Serbia, with 144,895 Ukrainian and 263,577 Russian citizens leaving Serbia in the same period. During that first year, 23,804 Russian and 706 Ukrainian citizens received temporary assylum in Serbia.
