MontenegroMontenegrin President Jakov Milatović confirmed that, starting in January 2026, the country will introduce a visa regime for citizens of several countries, including Russia, Turkey, and several Asian states. The decision is part of preparations for EU accession and the unification of visa policies.
For tourists, this means that travel to Montenegro will no longer be completely visa-free. The authorities promise to simplify the visa application process as much as possible: they plan to launch online applications and expedite document processing.
Tour operators predict that the introduction of visas may reduce the flow of individual tourists, but organized tours will be adapted—visa support will be included in the price of packages.
Montenegro remains a popular summer holiday destination thanks to its mild climate, affordable prices, and proximity to Europe.
