Is there an up-to-date thread about Applying for Residency/Registering a business? I note this thread has been inactive for some time, and Montenegro's EU Accession has moved forward since that time. Basically I can arrive in MN visa free as an ... Read More

What are the dos and don'ts of finding a job in Montenegro? by Priscilla

Hello everyone, Where is the best place to start when looking for a job in Montenegro? Is it better to job-hunt by directly contacting the company of your interest, or should job-seekers rely on a recruitment agency, for example? Are there any ...

Ryan James Curtis

First thing to know is that applying for jobs in MN is *nothing* like applying for jobs in the more economically advanced parts of Europe. If there is legislation or common-sense practice on any or all areas of recruitment and selection and ... Read More

Hi everyone, As a foreign entrepreneur, launching a business in Montenegro is a fantastic project and an exciting challenge. Some ideas are likely to succeed. Some others are promising but may not work as well as intended. In your opinion, ...

Ryan James Curtis

My only real culture problem is TIME. When i say I am going to do something I mean I am going to do it NOW. In MNE then 'now' seems to mean at some vague time in the future. If someone says they will be there at a certain time ... ... Read More

Retiring in Montenegro by wagnersliszt

I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask all the usual questions (promise I am reading through previous threads) but I really need to speak to expat Brit retirees living in Montenegro. Just people who have bought a home there to live. No one who ...

Ryan James Curtis

I just got back from Montenegro (made mistake of going in August when it was just TOO hot). It was a lot cooler in Cetinje, Budva and Kotor though .. easily 6-7 C lower than in Podgorica. For culture and music and internet and food .. you have a ... Read More

Buying Agricultural land in Montenegro by MerseyJohn

Hello everyone I'm new to this forum. Im interested in buying land in the Lustre Peninsula to build my own home. The land I've looked at is in an agricultural zone, I've been told permission would be granted in this type of zone for ...

Ryan James Curtis

160 000 euros for a little over an acre .. that seems a little expensive ... but a great location (which I presume is what you are paying for). I think it is probably targeted at non-domestic purchasers ... a Montenegrin could get you a better ... Read More
