Source: https://doastretch.com/nomad-visa/montenegro/ Montenegro · digital nomad visa · 2026 24 months Dozvola za privremeni boravak digitalnog nomada Open · checked 2026-08-18 · gov.me Montenegro runs the Dozvola za privremeni boravak digitalnog nomada (temporary residence permit for a digital nomad), an initial 24 months. Next step **How we know** Every figure here is as gov.me publishes it, checked 18 August 2026. Where a number is our own arithmetic rather than a printed figure, the row says so. Sources are listed further down the page. ## What to know before you apply Live and open since December 2022, not merely announced: the operative law is the amendment Sl. list CG 86/2022 which inserted Art. 60a into the Law on Foreigners, and the implementing Pravilnik was published 02.12.2022. The consolidated Law on Foreigners published 14 May 2026 still contains Art. 60a unchanged, so the 2025-26 tightening of foreigner policy did not remove this ground. There is no consumer-facing official how-to page — the Ministry's own residence page is an empty stub and euprava.gov.me lists no digital-nomad service — so the legal texts are the only official detail. ## What it means for your tax days Zakon o porezu na dohodak fizickih lica Art. 32d exempts from personal income tax a person earning income from employment or self-employment from an employer not registered in Montenegro, on the basis of acquired digital-nomad status. Confirmed in the consolidated text current to Sl. list CG 160/2025. A visa is permission to stay; tax residency follows the days you actually spend. Check Montenegro's tax authority for the day test that applies to you — and count the days either way. ## Sources - [gov.me](https://www.gov.me/dokumenta/b123dbc2-dfce-4751-9086-322072f9d7f3) — official source, checked 2026-08-18 - [sluzbenilist.me](https://www.sluzbenilist.me/propisi/333196) (official), retrieved 2026-08-18 - [gov.me](https://www.gov.me/en/article/programme-for-attracting-digital-nomads-in-montenegro-adopted) (official), retrieved 2026-08-18 ## Questions people ask about Montenegro **Does Montenegro have a digital nomad visa?** Yes.
