Visas
Many foreigners can enter Montenegro without a visa for up to 90 days if they hold a valid passport – go to
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_ policy_of_Montenegro for the full list of countries allowed. All visas must be applied for at an embassy.
Airport transit visa
This may be issued to a foreigner for one or several transits through the airport’s international transit area, between international flights, without entry into the territory of Montenegro, with a validity period of up to three months. As a general rule, a foreigner who won’t be leaving the international transit area in between flights will not require a visa, but the Government of Montenegro may stipulate that nationals of certain countries will require an airport-transit visa.
Transit visa
This visa may be issued for one, two (or, rarely, several)
transits through the territory of Montenegro, with a validity period of up to six months. The holder may stay in Montenegro for a period of up to five days each time.
Short stay visa
A short stay visa may be issued for one or multiple entries into Montenegro for touristic, business, personal or other purposes. The continuous stay or total duration of consecutive stays may not exceed 90 days in a period of six months, starting from the date of the first entry. Occasionally this type of visa may be issued for a longer period, but no longer than five years. Short stay visas may be issued to a group of foreigners as a collective visa. The validity period of a collective visa cannot exceed 30 days and it may be affixed to a group passport.
Long stay visa
This visa would be issued to an foreigner intending to stay in the
territory of Montenegro for over 90 days, but no longer than six months in the period of one year, starting from the date of the first entry. The applicant would be intending to stay in Montenegro in order to perform business, coming to Montenegro as a member of foreign diplomatic outfit, seasonal work, education, professional training, medical treatment or to reunite with family.
Permanent residency To obtain temporary residence, a foreigner must first apply for a work permit. Temporary residence can then be applied for and must be renewed every 12 months. A permanent residence permit can be issued to foreigners if they have been residing in Montenegro for five years on the basis of temporary residence. The five- year period may be shortened for ‘humanitarian’ reasons or for the benefit of the country.
