Montenegro for expats

Montenegro welcomes expats from around the world with straightforward residency processes, low taxes, and an excellent quality of life. The country has a growing international community, particularly from the UK, Germany, Russia, and Scandinavia.

Residency is achievable through property ownership, employment, or business establishment. The process is bureaucratic but manageable, typically taking 2-3 months. After 5 years of temporary residency, permanent residency is available, and citizenship after 10 years.

The tax regime is attractive: a flat 9% income tax, no worldwide taxation for residents, and no capital gains on property held over 3 years. Combined with low living costs, many expats find their money goes significantly further than in their home countries.
