Travel requirements for Montenegro
Everything a UK traveller needs to know before visiting Montenegro — passport and visa rules, recommended vaccines with lead times, and whether you need an International Driving Permit.
Entry requirements for Montenegro
Passport validity
Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond the date you arrive.
Visas
You can visit Montenegro without a visa for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. This applies if you travel:
- as a tourist
- to visit family or friends
- to attend business meetings, cultural or sports events
- for short-term studies or training
If you are travelling to Montenegro without a visa, make sure your whole visit is within the 90-day limit. Visits to Montenegro within the previous 180 days before you travel count towards your 90 days.
Montenegro is not part of the Schengen area, so:
- visits to Montenegro do not count towards your 90-day visa-free limit in the Schengen area
- visits to other EU or Schengen countries do not count towards your 90-day visa-free limit in Montenegro
Make sure you get your passport stamped on entry and exit.
The dated entry stamp helps avoid any problems about the length of your stay in the country.
Staying longer than 90 days in a 180-day period
To stay longer than 90 days, you must meet the Montenegrin government’s entry requirements. Check which type of visa or work permit you may need with the Montenegrin Embassy in the UK in advance of your arrival to Montenegro.
