Montenegro for digital nomads

Fast internet, low costs, Adriatic lifestyle. The perfect remote work destination.

Why Montenegro for digital nomads?

Montenegro has emerged as one of Europe's top destinations for digital nomads. With its Digital Nomad visa, affordable cost of living, and stunning natural beauty, it offers the perfect blend of work and lifestyle.

The country provides reliable internet infrastructure, particularly in coastal cities and Podgorica. Co-working spaces are growing, and many cafes cater to remote workers. The timezone (CET/CEST) works well for European and even US East Coast collaboration.

Property costs are significantly lower than Western Europe, meaning you can rent a sea-view apartment for less than a studio in London or Berlin. Combined with no tax on foreign income for the first year on the Digital Nomad visa, your money goes further here.

Key benefits

  • Digital Nomad visa available (1 year, renewable)
  • No tax on foreign income for first year
  • Fast fibre internet in main towns (100-500 Mbps)
