Residence permit, Visa, Citizenship

Just a few years ago, the Montenegro Citizenship by Investment* program was launched in Montenegro. To obtain a Montenegrin passport, you only need to make a non-refundable contribution to the government fund and acquire a share in the agreed real estate project (hotel or resort complex).

At the same time, investors do not have to take exams on the knowledge of the Montenegrin language or the history of the country and are not required to permanently reside in Montenegro.

*IMPORTANT: The program is valid until December 31, 2022

• The Montenegrin passport opens up the opportunity to travel to 123 countries without visas, including the Schengen countries, Singapore and the UAE.
• Tax benefits. The personal income tax in Montenegro is 9%.
• Moving to Montenegro. A Montenegrin passport allows you to enter the country at any time, even with closed borders, and gives you the opportunity to stay in the country for an unlimited time.

• Opportunity to obtain an E-2 business visa in the United States. This visa allows you to live and work in the United States, provided that you create or buy a business in the United States. Typically, a business is invested from 100 thousand dollars. This type of visa is not available to Russians in principle (it is only possible to obtain an EB-5 visa for investments from 500 thousand dollars).

• Investor with legal income. Conditions: age 18+, no criminal record, passing a due diligence check.
• Spouse or husband of the investor or civil partner. Also same-sex couples.

• Children under 18.
• Children over 18 who are financially dependent on the investor.
