🇲🇪 Montenegro visa and residence routes
Adriatic coastline at Balkan prices with an official temporary residence permit for people working remotely for a foreign business.
At least one route here publishes no income or savings floor at all (Digital Nomad Residence Permit). The single documented route is remote work / self-employment. Naturalisation becomes possible after roughly 10 years of qualifying residence.
How Montenegro compares
Living costs sit mid-table for this list, at roughly €1,200 a month for one person. Healthcare is the weakest column in this country's profile; private cover matters more here than elsewhere.
Who these routes are built for
Based on the routes currently included in our database for Montenegro, these options suit people earning from remote work or their own foreign clients.
They are a poor fit for retirees, since no passive-income route is published.

The financial bar is the main money test for that route — a monthly income floor, or the savings to show where no income floor applies. Figures are for a single applicant; most programmes scale upward for a partner or children.

Digital Nomad Residence Permit
Temporary residence can be issued for up to 2 years and extended for up to 2 more. The official source requires proof of financial means, accommodation, insurance and foreign remote work, but publishes no fixed euro income threshold.
Worth knowing: The official source requires proof of sufficient means but does not publish a fixed euro threshold; confirm the evidence accepted by the local authority.
