If you have already decided or are still thinking about immigration to Montenegrothen we will help you take this step. Looking ahead, I would like to say that the process of obtaining residence permit (permit) in Montenegro is quite simple, fast and does not require large investments. Despite the new legislation that came into force on April 1, 2015, the immigration process is still simple and fast. One of the main changes under the new law is the presence of a diploma with a certificate for nostrification, so do not forget to bring it when you move.
Starting from April 1, 2016, all property owners will be able to obtain a residence permit without opening a company and paying monthly taxes, our company offers discount when registering on the basis of ownership of real estate in Montenegro.
Site authors monteonline.ru we ourselves had to go through all the necessary formalities, and we are happy to share our experience and provide any assistance in paperwork.

If you wish to stay for a longer period, then you need to pre-arrange a tourist visa for a period of 3 months at the Montenegrin embassy in Moscow. All tourists in Montenegro must pay tourist tax at a rate of 0.8 euro cents per day per person (to get the so-called "white cardboard"). For a tourist, this can be done by his travel agent, hotel or apartment manager; You can also pay the tourist tax yourself at the police station.
If you fell in love with Montenegro and wish to stay here for a longer period and with rights that are more significant than that of an ordinary tourist, then business immigration.
Types of immigration
Business immigration is possible by invitation to work. In this case, the inviting organization can be both a Montenegrin company that wants to hire you, and a company that belongs to you. In Montenegro, any foreigner has the right to open a legal entity, i.e. firm, and invite yourself and anyone else you want to work. On the basis of an invitation to work is issued temporary residence permit ("borawak", which is essentially Montenegro work visa) for a period of 1 year. It is this method that is now actively practiced by Russian and other immigrants to Montenegro.
In addition to business immigration, there is family reunification immigration. On this basis, the owner of the company can bring his family to Montenegro without the need for employment. If you want to link your fate with Montenegro for a long time, then you will need to renew boravak for 5 consecutive years, after which you can apply for permanent residence permit. A permanent residence permit gives all the rights and opportunities of a resident of Montenegro, with the exception of the right to vote and run for president (without which, in principle, you can live!). Later you can get Montenegrin citizenship, however, in this case, you will have to renounce Russian citizenship, since Montenegro does not allow dual citizenship, however, like Russian.

In March 2012, the Montenegrin government introduced an additional condition for obtaining a residence permit - this is the amount on your bank account at the rate of 10 euros / day for the entire year of stay in Montenegro - total 3650 euros per person per year. These are by no means expenses, but a formality confirming that you will have something to live on in Montenegro until you start earning. Nobody needs to pay this amount. You can withdraw the entire amount literally the next day and deposit it again to the account of the second and subsequent people.
In principle, you can register a company and a temporary residence permit and live in Montenegro, only paying the minimum taxes if you have income outside of Montenegro. Or you can start promoting your own business, because Montenegrins are calm and unhurried people, so some business niches are still not occupied. They, how to put it, lack some briskness and acumen, which is inherent in our more enterprising compatriots.
