Moving to Montenegro the right way

May 20, 2024

If you are planning a move to Montenegro, it is important to know the key points and prepare for the process in advance. Citizens of Ukraine, Russia and Belarus do not need a visa to enter Montenegro. They can stay in the country for up to 30 days, which is quite enough to start applying for a residence permit (residence permit) or investment citizenship through the purchase of real estate.

Reasons for obtaining a residence permit in Montenegro

A residence permit in Montenegro can be obtained on the basis of:

  • Employment
  • Business openings
  • Training
  • Family reunions
  • Treatments in clinics around the country
  • Yacht ownership
  • Real estate purchases

A residence permit is issued at the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Montenegro. Once you have decided on the reason for the move, start preparing.
