Ninety Days in Any 180 by Statute, and a Visa-Free List the Government Has Just Given an Expiry Date Of 31 October 2026
This replaces the general rule for you
An Identity Card Is Enough, For Thirty Days
Article 2 of the Uredba o viznom rezimu lets nationals of the European Union member states enter, cross the territory of and stay in Montenegro for up to 30 days without a visa on a valid identity card issued by the competent authority of their state, or on another document from which identity and nationality can be established. The same article names Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland alongside the Union states, so the whole of the Economic Area and Switzerland are inside it, as are Albania, Andorra, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Monaco, San Marino, Serbia and the Holy See. It is a different right from the 90-day visa-free entry in article 1, which needs a travel document and runs for three times as long: a traveller who wants the full 90 days brings a passport. Article 2 has not been amended since the decree was made on 23 May 2019, and it is unaffected by the article 12c sunset of 31 October 2026, which bites on exemptions granted by separate Government acts rather than on the decree itself.
Two instruments answer a visitor's question and they do different jobs. The Zakon o strancima sets the length: article 34 allows a stay of up to 90 days in any 180, counted from the day of first entry, either on a short-stay visa (viza C) or without a visa under the decree the Government makes under article 14(2), and a visitor who has used the 90 days may re-enter only once the 180-day period has run. The Uredba o viznom rezimu is the list. Its article 1 names the nationalities that may enter for up to 90 days without a visa on a travel document; article 2 lets nationals of the European Union member states and of thirteen other named states come for 30 days on an identity card alone; article 4 says everyone not named in articles 1, 1a, 2 and 3 needs a visa. What makes this topic unusual is the direction of travel. The decree has been amended eleven times since 2019 and the amendments of the last twelve months have been removals: Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait and Turkey off the 90-day list, Vanuatu off it in 2025, Croatia, Bulgaria and Romania out of the holder-of-a-visa provision. The amendment published on 24 July 2026 went further and put a date on the rest. Saudi Arabia and Turkey keep a 30-day visa-free entry under article 1a only until 31 October 2026; the Chinese tour-group and business-passport arrangement in article 6 is limited to the same day; a new article 3a gives Belarus and the Russian Federation 30 days under bilateral travel treaties, also only until 31 October 2026; and a new article 12c says that from 31 October 2026 exemption from the visa requirement may not be regulated by separate acts of the Government at all, with seasonal exemptions ending on 1 October 2026.
At a glance
- Longest visit without a residence permit
- 90 days in any 180 days, counted from the day of first entry
Article 34(2) of the Zakon o strancima. Article 34(3) adds that someone who has used the 90 days may enter again only after that 180-day period has expired.
- Entry on an identity card instead of a passport
- 30 days, for nationals of the European Union member states and of thirteen named states besides
Article 2 of the Uredba o viznom rezimu (Sluzbeni list CG 33/19). The thirteen are Albania, Andorra, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iceland, Kosovo, Liechtenstein, North Macedonia, Monaco, Norway, San Marino, Serbia, the Holy See and Switzerland, as the article names them.
- When the Government may stop granting visa exemptions by its own act
- 31 October 2026, and 1 October 2026 for seasonal exemptions
Article 12c of the Uredba o viznom rezimu, inserted by the amending decree of 23 July 2026 (Sluzbeni list CG 108/26).
- Long-stay visa (viza D)
- More than 90 days but not more than 180 days in a period of one year
Article 18(1) of the Zakon o strancima as substituted by article 8 of the amending Act of 31 December 2025 (Sluzbeni list CG 3/26), which also lists the thirteen purposes it may be issued for.
Requirements
- A travel document valid for at least three months beyond the planned date of departure and issued within the last ten years, or an identity card where the decree allows one
- A visa, unless the Uredba o viznom rezimu names your nationality or your situation
- A stay of no more than 90 days in any 180 from the day of first entry, after which re-entry waits for the 180-day period to run
- On request, a letter of guarantee or invitation showing who will meet the cost of the stay and of leaving, where the visit is private or business
Country-level policy
Montenegro legislates ahead of its accession to the European Union, and the Zakon o strancima carries the result. Chapter IX, articles 150 to 178b, is a full transposition of the free-movement directive for nationals of EU member states and their family members, rewritten almost entirely by the amending Act of 31 December 2025 and touched again in March 2026. Article 1, as amended in 2026, even says that those articles govern the entry, exit, movement, residence and work of EU nationals and that the rest of the Act applies to them only where it expressly says so. None of it is in application. Article 221(1), unchanged since 2018, defers articles 150 to 203 and six other provisions to the day Montenegro accedes to the Union, and the 2026 Act added article 221b deferring a further list - electronic visa applications, agency posting of workers, several grounds of permit refusal - to the same day. For a reader the practical effect is a trap: the chapter reads as live law, it was amended twice in 2026, and the sentence that makes it dormant sits two hundred articles later under a heading about transitional provisions. An EU national today needs a ground under article 38 like anyone else, and the only EU-specific right that is in force is the exemption in article 56(5) from the property-value proof, which the 2026 Act wrote into the body of the Act rather than into the deferred chapter.
What applies to you
An Identity Card Is Enough, For Thirty Days
Article 2 of the Uredba o viznom rezimu lets nationals of the European Union member states enter, cross the territory of and stay in Montenegro for up to 30 days without a visa on a valid identity card issued by the competent authority of their state, or on another document from which identity and nationality can be established. The same article names Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland alongside the Union states, so the whole of the Economic Area and Switzerland are inside it, as are Albania, Andorra, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Monaco, San Marino, Serbia and the Holy See. It is a different right from the 90-day visa-free entry in article 1, which needs a travel document and runs for three times as long: a traveller who wants the full 90 days brings a passport. Article 2 has not been amended since the decree was made on 23 May 2019, and it is unaffected by the article 12c sunset of 31 October 2026, which bites on exemptions granted by separate Government acts rather than on the decree itself.
- A valid identity card issued by the competent authority of the state, or another document establishing identity and nationality
- A stay of no more than 30 days; the 90-day entitlement in article 1 of the decree needs a travel document
What the law says
«Stranac može boraviti u Crnoj Gori do 90 dana na osnovu vize za kratki boravak (viza C) ili bez vize, u skladu sa propisom o viznom režimu iz člana 14 stav 2 ovog zakona.

A foreigner may stay in Montenegro for up to 90 days on the basis of a short-stay visa (visa C) or without a visa, in accordance with the regulation on the visa regime referred to in article 14(2) of this Act. In the case referred to in paragraph 1 of this article a foreigner may stay in Montenegro for at most 90 days within a period of 180 days, counting from the day of first entry, unless this Act or an international agreement provides otherwise.
Article 34 has not been amended since the Act was enacted in 2018.

Each instrument has a record page at https://www.sluzbenilist.me/propisi/<id> which is server-rendered and carries, in plain text, the date of publication, the gazette issue, the registry number, the issuing body, the date of entry into force and often the date of first application, the EU negotiating chapter it belongs to, and the status Vazeci or Nevazeci - in force or no longer in force. The same page cross-links the instruments this one amends, the instruments that amend it, the constitutional provisions it was made under and the subordinate acts made under it, which is the cheapest way in existence to assemble a Montenegrin amendment chain. The text itself is a PDF at https://www.sluzbenilist.me/propisi/<id>/download, one file per instrument rather than one per issue. Issues are indexed by year at https://www.sluzbenilist.me/registri?type=0&year=<year> with type 0 for Sluzbeni list Crne Gore and type 3 for the pre-2006 Republican series, and each issue page lists every instrument in it with a link. Article 13 of the Constitution puts the Cyrillic and Latin scripts on an equal footing and the gazette uses both: some Acts of 2010 and 2011 and some Government decisions are printed wholly in Cyrillic, and a /cyr/ mirror of the site exists. Amending Acts are published as free-standing instruments in the classic civil-law form - 'in article N, paragraph M is replaced and reads' - and are never consolidated into the parent Act here, so the current text of a provision has to be assembled from the base Act and every amendment that touched it.

Assembling the law in force therefore means reading the base Act plus every amending Act, and the site's own cross-reference list cannot be relied on to be complete - the record for the Zakon o crnogorskom drzavljanstvu lists four of its seven amending Acts, the record for the Zakon o porezu na dohodak fizickih lica lists ten of at least sixteen, and the record for the citizenship-by-investment decision lists none at all because the record is classified 'Neklasifikovan'. The site search is client-side only: the search box on /propisi is an Alpine.js model and a searchTerm query parameter is ignored by the server, which returns a generic list, so an instrument is found through the issue index, through a cross-link on a related record, or through an external search engine. Some record identifiers are UUIDs rather than numbers and those do not answer at /download. Two of its own PDFs are defective and must not be quoted from: the Zakon o bezbjednosti saobracaja na putevima (33/2012) extracts with a broken character map - Cyrillic a, e and o standing inside Latin words, C-circumflex for C-caron, t-cedilla for z-caron - through the body of the Act while the penalty articles come out clean, and downloading the file directly or passing it through the extraction service makes no difference. It must not be cited for anything the state has not enacted: it carries no guidance, no fee a ministry charges in practice, no processing time, no country list maintained outside a decree, and nothing at all about how an authority applies the text it prints. The status field is a useful signal and not a legal conclusion: the citizenship-by-investment decision is still marked Vazeci although its own article 18 stopped applying on 31 December 2022.

A visa is an authorisation enabling a foreigner to enter, stay in and transit through the territory of Montenegro. The visa regime is prescribed by the Government of Montenegro, on a proposal of the state administration body responsible for foreign affairs.
This is the delegation under which the Uredba o viznom rezimu is made, and the reason the visa-free list is a Government act rather than a schedule to the Act.

The official gazette of Montenegro, published by the public institution JU Sluzbeni list Crne Gore, which also runs the country's legal information system (PIS). Everything the Montenegrin state enacts appears here and only here as an authentic text: Acts of the Skupstina with the President's promulgating decree printed above them, Government decrees and decisions, ministerial rulebooks, Constitutional Court decisions, and separate series for municipal regulations, international treaties and the predecessor Sluzbeni list Republike Crne Gore up to 2006. Each instrument has a record page at https://www.sluzbenilist.me/propisi/<id> which is server-rendered and carries, in plain text, the date of publication, the gazette issue, the registry number, the issuing body, the date of entry into force and often the date of first application, the EU negotiating chapter it belongs to, and the status Vazeci or Nevazeci - in force or no longer in force. The same page cross-links the instruments this one amends, the instruments that amend it, the constitutional provisions it was made under and the subordinate acts made under it, which is the cheapest way in existence to assemble a Montenegrin amendment chain. The text itself is a PDF at https://www.sluzbenilist.me/propisi/<id>/download, one file per instrument rather than one per issue. Issues are indexed by year at https://www.sluzbenilist.me/registri?type=0&year=<year> with type 0 for Sluzbeni list Crne Gore and type 3 for the pre-2006 Republican series, and each issue page lists every instrument in it with a link. Article 13 of the Constitution puts the Cyrillic and Latin scripts on an equal footing and the gazette uses both: some Acts of 2010 and 2011 and some Government decisions are printed wholly in Cyrillic, and a /cyr/ mirror of the site exists. Amending Acts are published as free-standing instruments in the classic civil-law form - 'in article N, paragraph M is replaced and reads' - and are never consolidated into the parent Act here, so the current text of a provision has to be assembled from the base Act and every amendment that touched it.
Standing: Issues the instrument
Cannot be cited for: It publishes instruments and it does not consolidate them. There is no consolidated text of any Act on this site: the regis.sluzbenilist.me legal information system that would give one is an Angular application that returns a 6 KB shell to any fetcher, and its own feature table reads as a subscription product, so it is not reachable by any tool this project has. Assembling the law in force therefore means reading the base Act plus every amending Act, and the site's own cross-reference list cannot be relied on to be complete - the record for the Zakon o crnogorskom drzavljanstvu lists four of its seven amending Acts, the record for the Zakon o porezu na dohodak fizickih lica lists ten of at least sixteen, and the record for the citizenship-by-investment decision lists none at all because the record is classified 'Neklasifikovan'.

Practical notes
The current list of visa-free nationalities is article 1 of the Uredba o viznom rezimu as replaced in 2020 and amended nine times since. We have read every one of those instruments and have deliberately not reproduced the list: it has changed five times in the last twelve months, and a list copied into a page is a list that goes out of date without anyone noticing.
Two further Government decisions sit beside the decree rather than in it: a temporary exemption for holders of foreign travel documents with a residence permit in the United Arab Emirates, and a temporary exemption for nationals of Kazakhstan. These are exactly the 'separate acts of the Government' that article 12c stops after 31 October 2026.
Nothing here was read from a consular or ministry page. Every statement rests on the Act or on the decree as published in Sluzbeni list Crne Gore.

Each instrument has a record page at https://www.sluzbenilist.me/propisi/<id> which is server-rendered and carries, in plain text, the date of publication, the gazette issue, the registry number, the issuing body, the date of entry into force and often the date of first application, the EU negotiating chapter it belongs to, and the status Vazeci or Nevazeci - in force or no longer in force. The same page cross-links the instruments this one amends, the instruments that amend it, the constitutional provisions it was made under and the subordinate acts made under it, which is the cheapest way in existence to assemble a Montenegrin amendment chain. The text itself is a PDF at https://www.sluzbenilist.me/propisi/<id>/download, one file per instrument rather than one per issue. Issues are indexed by year at https://www.sluzbenilist.me/registri?type=0&year=<year> with type 0 for Sluzbeni list Crne Gore and type 3 for the pre-2006 Republican series, and each issue page lists every instrument in it with a link. Article 13 of the Constitution puts the Cyrillic and Latin scripts on an equal footing and the gazette uses both: some Acts of 2010 and 2011 and some Government decisions are printed wholly in Cyrillic, and a /cyr/ mirror of the site exists. Amending Acts are published as free-standing instruments in the classic civil-law form - 'in article N, paragraph M is replaced and reads' - and are never consolidated into the parent Act here, so the current text of a provision has to be assembled from the base Act and every amendment that touched it.
Standing: Issues the instrument
Cannot be cited for: It publishes instruments and it does not consolidate them. There is no consolidated text of any Act on this site: the regis.sluzbenilist.me legal information system that would give one is an Angular application that returns a 6 KB shell to any fetcher, and its own feature table reads as a subscription product, so it is not reachable by any tool this project has. Assembling the law in force therefore means reading the base Act plus every amending Act, and the site's own cross-reference list cannot be relied on to be complete - the record for the Zakon o crnogorskom drzavljanstvu lists four of its seven amending Acts, the record for the Zakon o porezu na dohodak fizickih lica lists ten of at least sixteen, and the record for the citizenship-by-investment decision lists none at all because the record is classified 'Neklasifikovan'. The site search is client-side only: the search box on /propisi is an Alpine.js model and a searchTerm query parameter is ignored by the server, which returns a generic list, so an instrument is found through the issue index, through a cross-link on a related record, or through an external search engine. Some record identifiers are UUIDs rather than numbers and those do not answer at /download. Two of its own PDFs are defective and must not be quoted from: the Zakon o bezbjednosti saobracaja na putevima (33/2012) extracts with a broken character map - Cyrillic a, e and o standing inside Latin words, C-circumflex for C-caron, t-cedilla for z-caron - through the body of the Act while the penalty articles come out clean, and downloading the file directly or passing it through the extraction service makes no difference. It must not be cited for anything the state has not enacted: it carries no guidance, no fee a ministry charges in practice, no processing time, no country list maintained outside a decree, and nothing at all about how an authority applies the text it prints. The status field is a useful signal and not a legal conclusion: the citizenship-by-investment decision is still marked Vazeci although its own article 18 stopped applying on 31 December 2022.
