Absolutely excellent service! A friend of mine referred me to Montenegro Digital Nomad Agency. I happened to be in nearby Dubrovnik and quickly arranged a meeting in Montenegro. I received very clear and transparent information about setting up a company in Montenegro, the tax benefits, and everything else involved. I decided to take that route, and the agency assisted me in the best possible manner. Dealing with notaries, the city council administration, a bank, and the tax office is all complex, especially when you don't speak the language, but there wasn't a single moment when I had to worry. At every crucial moment, I was accompanied by someone who advised me on what to do next, and I never felt overwhelmed by any red tape. The fees that the agency charges are very reasonable, especially in comparison with the value offered! I'm a very, very happy camper, and warmly recommend them to everyone else interested in setting up their own business in this tiny but beautiful country! Erik

We were deciding between Corfu-Greece, Calabria Region-Italy, Dubrovnik-Croatia and Montenegro. All of these places were nice but it was the customer service from Jonathan and the exceptional customer service received from the Montenegro Digital Nomad Agency! This was a major life event change and we were very scared of the many unknowns associated with moving to another country to live and start a business. I'm embarrassed to say that we bombarded Jonathan and the team with so many questions, and they patiently answered them. Honestly, there were times when they could not drop everything to answer some questions, but they would tell us that they would research and get back to us in a timely fashion, and they did. Other countries that were mentioned above were slow to respond or would not even answer our questions unless you paid a deposit, or have already received your proof of retirement from either the United States Social Security Department or the United Kingdom's HRMC Department, or that you already received your FBI Apostille documents. The team assisted with a brief background of each of the main cities to help us determine the best location for our needs. Knowing which locations were more for the late-night parties versus us seeking a more family environment, helped in finding the correct home for our needs. All this before assisting in completing the required Montenegrin documents for our resident permits. We stayed 3 days during Christmas time to determine how the winters were here. We already knew we loved the spring and summer months. It was not crazy cold like other parts of Europe. It felt slightly colder than California but nowhere near a London, England winter. If you come for a few days to visit you should already be prepared to look for a place to live. It will be very helpful to secure a lease before returning home. Securing our first apartment here before returning home was extremely helpful and expedited the relocation process with the movers. The movers will negotiate a price with you if they know you are serious and already have the ship-to address. Happy to say that the whole process of moving and receiving approval for our resident permits just took 88 days. It was nice to stop having to pay the weekly Montenegrin Travel for our 90 day US passport stay. The main hold-up was not the fault of the team. It was receiving our FBI Apostille documents back in a timely fashion. Once you made the major decision to relocate but may not have decided on your final destination. I highly recommend starting the process of receiving your hard copy FBI Apostille and if you are married get your Marriage Certificate Apostille. We made the mistake of doing this within the 90-day visa stay in Montenegro and received the documents way later than we were promised by vendor. The team assisted in suggesting the best method to relocate my household items from the United States. Their team is highly responsive and consistently goes the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction. Once we received our Residence Permits, Djordje, and the team assisted with gaining approval at the bank for us to receive our corporate bank account, personal checking accounts and, credit cards. Special thanks to Jonathan, Djordje, and the support team for their unwavering assistance in promptly addressing any doubts in providing timely updates. Delighted to report that both the boxes and the TV arrived in excellent condition. Highly recommend Montenegro Digital Nomad Agency for their efficient, one-stop shopping and customer-centric approach! Thank you!!!

Montenegro had a special appeal to us and we wanted to obtain a resident permit. Jonathan’s firm was our best choice after several enquiries we decided to engage with Jonathan. Montenegro is a small country with lots of advantages and challenges, especially for non-European nationalities and during extraordinary COVID times Jonathan, along with his professional legal and accountable team, was able to navigate the legal framework and help us obtain residence permits successfully by resolving issues along the way. We highly recommend Jonathan to anyone who may be interested in Montenegro.

Emigrate to Montenegro in 2024 – Residence Permit and Tax Residency

Montenegro – Not the usual emigration destination

The general cost of living in Montenegro is lower than comparable Mediterranean countries, and it still offers the same climate and landscape that are at least as thrilling as those of classic settlement destinations. Although the Euro is not a cheaper way to pay, it simplifies payment transactions with other European countries.
In some areas, the infrastructure has improved significantly in recent years. It is now comparable to that of EU countries.
Many are already comparing Montenegro with Monaco and Nice. Culturally and linguistically, Montenegro is a little more complex than France and Spain, both of which are long-standing members of the European Union (EU). Their idioms are often taught abroad in Europe.
Many Russians have invested in Montenegro real estate over the past few years. They feel the same way: they are at ease in a Slavic country and don’t need a visa as they do in EU countries. However, this has helped to put the real estate market in prime locations at an all-time high.
It is easier for people who are from overseas but have Montenegrin and Serbian roots to establish a foothold in Montenegro. People who are familiar with the Balkan culture and language will feel right at home with the friendly Montenegrins. However, it is possible to immigrate to a country if you are open to learning about the culture and mindset of the people.
Financial independence is a must, as there are very few opportunities for employment in Montenegro. There are also many unemployed people in Montenegro who compete for the few jobs. They also have the advantage of being fluent in their native language.

Living in Montenegro in 2024

If anyone wants to permanently live in Montenegro, Central Europeans will have much to learn. It is difficult to learn the language and it is not common for people to have foreign language skills. Basic knowledge of Montenegrin is essential for working life. Montenegro is no exception to this rule. You must be open-minded, communicative, and tolerant if you wish to live there. It’s also natural: The language is easier to learn and more people will be able to integrate into local society.
Apart from Montenegro’s language, there are many other reasons why Montenegro has not been a popular destination for German emigration. Montenegro’s economy doesn’t offer attractive jobs that would attract foreigners, at least not for economic reasons. Many locals have difficulty “making ends meet”. Many times, they have to work multiple jobs.
It was not easy for Montenegro to become an immigration country. The landscape is stunning, and the mild Mediterranean climate and wild beauty make it even more appealing. The rise of tourism is a boon for people looking to make a living, including foreign specialists.
Tourism is always a gateway to other countries, and so there are opportunities for foreign specialists to work in similar service areas. Opportunities will also be available for craftsmen and technical experts, as well as career opportunities in the management and medical sectors.
Investors are welcome but they must create jobs. Financially independent retirees have other options. Before emigration, it is important to fully understand the details and speak with competent Montenegro immigration advisors or Montenegrin authorities.

Montenegro work permits and a residence permits for foreigners

If you want to stay in Montenegro for longer than the 90 days that your passport allows, then you will need to apply for a residence permit or a work permit.
Individuals seeking to reside and work in Montenegro for over three months must obtain a residency permit. This permit is also a requirement for investors looking to establish a company in the country for legal operations. Montenegro offers two types of residency permits: temporary and permanent. Applications for a temporary permit must be submitted to the Montenegrin police along with necessary documentation and are processed within a 30-day period. After five years of temporary residency, individuals can apply for permanent residency in Montenegro.
Our team of immigration, legal and taxation experts will manage the entire process for you, ensuring that your relocation to Montenegro is as simple and smooth as it can be.

What residence permits are available in Montenegro?

Montenegro Work and Residence Permit by Company Formation

Setting up a business in Montenegro is an effective way of obtaining residency in the country. As Montenegro is not part of the EU, the process of obtaining a residency permit through company formation is more complex than in EU states.
To acquire a temporary residency permit, a foreign individual must first initiate the process of forming a company by gathering the necessary documents and registering the business. This includes having the company’s statutory documents drafted and notarized, as well as opening a corporate bank account for the deposit of share capital.
The minimum required amount for setting up a company in Montenegro starts at 1 euro for limited liability companies, though the amount may vary based on the nature of the business. Legal assistance during the entire company formation process can be provided by our consultants.
Forming a company in Montenegro allows foreign entrepreneurs to work in the country, as well as bring family members to Montenegro and obtain temporary residency permits for themselves and their families. After five years of temporary residency, the foreign citizen can apply for permanent residency. And after ten years of living in Montenegro, they can obtain a Montenegro passport.

Document Requirements Montenegro Work and Resident Permit

All of the documents about the company registration, ownership, statutes etc. are organised by our team of lawyers and accountants.
The most important question for a foreigner applying for a Montenegro work and residence permit is, “What documents are do you need to provide from your country for the residence permit application?”
The documents that you need to bring with you to apply for a Montenegro work and residence permit are:

For the company incorporation:
– Signed and notarized special power of attorney (SPA) (can be sent by courier if required)
– Valid passport
– Company name
– Company activities (we can advise)

For the work/residence permit application:

Founder/Exec director:
– Valid passport with at least 18 months remaining
– Certificate of no criminal record – Less than 6 months old.
– Education diploma and transcript of grades (minimum high school level)

For married spouse:
– Valid passport with at least 18 months remaining
– Certificate of no criminal record – Less than 6 months old.

– Proof of accommodation in Montenegro – 12-month accommodation rental contract.

Important note – Some documents may need to be certified by Apostille in accordance with the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961, depending on which country the documents originate from.

Montenegro Temporary Residency by Property Ownership

Individuals who invest in property in Montenegro can secure a yearly residency permit, regardless of the property value or business type. This permit, which is available to owners of homes, apartments, hotels, restaurants, and holiday homes, can be extended each year.
As part of the resident permit requirements, the applicant must provide the following documents:

• Proof of property ownership.
• Bank receipt showing deposit of 3,650 EUR in a Montenegrin bank.
• Medical insurance for a 30-day period.
• Passport copies
• Proof of a clear criminal record from the home country
• Registration with local police within 24 hours of arrival in Montenegro
• Payment of the 25 EUR residency permit fee.

The Language of Montenegro is an important part of life here

Montenegro is a great place to live, although the language can seem completely alien at first. However, learning the Montenegrin language will make it easier to communicate with local citizens and to integrate into society and daily life here.
Having said that, do not be worried that you won’t be able to communicate with other languages such as German, English, and Russian when you first arrive in Montenegro. Especially in the coastal areas, English is quite widely spoken thanks to tourism and it is also quite common to find German speakers too!

What is Montenegro’s Tax Residency Law?

How much is Income Tax in Montenegro?

• Salary ranges from EUR 701 to EUR 1000 (gross), and are subject to 9% taxes.
• All salaries above EUR 1001 (gross), are subject to 15% tax.

“One of the most significant changes in 2022 will be the introduction of a new income tax rate for entrepreneurs.

• Taxes apply to all amounts between EUR 8,400.01 and EUR 12,000, except EUR 12,001.
• A 15% tax is applicable for purchases above EUR 12,000.01.

The income tax policy in Montenegro is extremely attractive, ranging from 9% to 15%
The real estate market is still very affordable and offers incredible value for coastal properties compared with other parts of Europe.
The weather in Montenegro is very warm in the summer and quite mild in the winter. It is quite rare for temperatures on the coast to drop below freezing, although it can feel very cold at times due to the wind and the high humidity.

Emigrate to Montenegro in 2024 – Residence Permit and Tax Residency

What is the cost of living in Montenegro in 2024?

It is possible to live quite a comfortable life in Montenegro for €1000 (Euros) per month, including rent, utility bills and modest personal expenses. However, if you have at least €1500 (Euros) per month you will find that you can afford to live well and enjoy a little luxury at the same time.
It is important to consider that much of the information you will find online about the cost of living in Montenegro may be significantly out of date. This is due to the fact that the events of 2022 have caused an increase in demand for rental accommodation and therefore all other goods and services in Montenegro. You will also find the same effect in the real estate market, where property sale prices have risen a lot since February 2022.
However, Montenegro is still considered one of Europe’s most affordable countries for the Mediterranean lifestyle that is on offer here.

Montenegro Cost of Living Comparison Table

Table: Cost of Living in Montenegro

How much does it cost to rent an apartment in Montenegro? (2024)

It is possible to rent an apartment in Montenegro from as little €250 (Euros) per month but you will not get very much for that amount of money.
For something of reasonably good quality with a balcony and a sea view, you should expect to pay from:

• €375 (Euros) per month for a studio apartment
• €500 to €700 (Euros) per month for a 1 bedroom apartment, 35 to 70 square meters
• €650 (Euros) + per month for a 2 bedroom apartment, 65 + square meters
• €900 to €1300 (Euros) + per month for a 3 bedroom apartment, 70 + square meters

Renting an apartment in Montenegro will have a wide range of costs depending on the location and number of bedrooms. It also depends on the length of the rental contract. There are not many places to rent in Montenegro for less than EUR300 per month. Two-bedroom apartments in better areas of a town or city can cost you 650 to 800 Euros per month, or more.

How much do electricity bills cost in Montenegro? (2024)

Depending on the amount of services you choose and how big your home is, utilities typically cost between €50 and €100 (Euros) per month. The lower electricity bills will usually be in the summer months. Winter heating is always a greater need than summer cooling.
If you are looking for the perfect place to escape winter fuel prices in the rest of Europe, then Montenegro is the perfect place for you!

What is the cost of food and groceries in Montenegro?

The cost of food and other daily products in Montenegro has definitely increased in 2022, as in many other countries. Depending on how extravagant your tastes, a couple can still buy groceries for €50 Euros per week or less. Many people in Montenegro certainly live on less than that, because the minimum monthly salary is only €450 (Euros) per month.

What is the cost of private healthcare in Montenegro?

Private healthcare and health insurance plans in Montenegro can cost around €300 (Euros) per year. However, foreigners who have temporary residency in Montenegro by employment and work permit also have access to the same national healthcare provision as citizens. This is because they are paying for it through their employee taxes and social contributions.

Is Montenegro a good country for retirement?

Montenegro has been a popular destination for European retirees for a number of years and is steadily growing in popularity. The main attractions that make Montenegro an attractive place to retire are:
Low capital gains tax, which is part of a generally friendly tax system.
Affordable real estate in a rising market, especially when compared to Croatia.
Reciprocal agreements allow retirees to keep part or all of their pension and health benefits from their home country.
Very low living costs compared to other European countries.

Crime and Safety in Montenegro – Is Montenegro a safe country?

Montenegro has one of the lowest crime levels in the whole of Europe, which makes it a very safe country to live in. It is completely normal to see younger children walking around or playing in the neighbourhood long after dark. Moreover, women generally feel very safe walking around alone at night.
Low-level street crimes like pick-pocketing can occur during the high season in busy tourist areas, but basic common sense can prevent becoming a victim.
