Montenegro residency checklist
Pick the residence type — the document pack opens at once. Tick what you already have. If you do not want to assemble it yourself, there is one accompaniment offer for this filing.
Which residence type
The document pack depends on the ground. From 17 January 2026 you cannot change the path on renewal.
There is no pension or passive ground in the statute. Pensioners usually go through property or digital nomad.
Which documents you need for residence in Montenegro
After the 17 January 2026 reform a card is renewed only on the same ground it was issued on. So the document list has to match the ground you pick now.
Any temporary residence file (article 43) usually needs a passport, housing, insurance, means and a criminal-record extract. On top of that you prove the ground itself: for property, the cadastre extract and a transfer-tax decision with a base of at least €150,000; for a company, the CRPS extract; for family, a marriage or birth certificate; for work, the employer’s written offer.
This checklist is the usual pack for that ground. It is not a MUP decision and not legal advice. If you do not want to assemble the file yourself, leave a request for accompaniment — one price for your household, not a menu of extras.
