The information below concerns travelers who are nationals of the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland and Canada traveling to Montenegro for a tourist stay. Entry rules may change, so we recommend verifying the information with the official authorities before your departure.
Passport
To enter Montenegro, your passport must be valid for the entire duration of your stay and have at least one blank page for immigration stamps.
The document must be in good condition (no damaged, torn or altered pages).
Nationals of the European Union may also enter Montenegro with a valid national identity card.
Visa-free tourist stay
Nationals of the European Economic Area, Switzerland and Canada benefit from a visa exemption for tourist stays.
This exemption allows a stay of up to 90 days within a 180-day period from the date of first entry into Montenegrin territory.
The authorities may also request:

Registration with local authorities
Any traveler staying in Montenegro must register with the local authorities within 24 hours of arrival.
In practice, this is usually done automatically by the hotel or accommodation. In the case of staying with a private individual (private rental, private home), it is the host's responsibility to carry out this registration. It is advisable to ensure that this formality has been completed, otherwise you may face a fine.
Traveling with children
Minors must hold their own travel document (passport or identity card depending on nationality) valid for the duration of the stay.
In some European countries, when a minor travels without one of their parents, an authorization to leave the territory may be required according to the regulations of the country of residence.
