Obtaining residence permit in Montenegro for a foreigner on the basis of employment (Law on Aliens Article 67)

Recently, there are often questions about the possibility of obtaining a residence permit (Boravak) in Montenegro. This is connected not only with the arrival of newly arrived citizens of other countries, but also with the appearance of a new law on foreigners, the expected entry into force on November 1, 2015. What will be the additions or changes to it we can only guess, but what we need to do now to get a borovak or to extend it we know for sure. So, you will need to collect some documents, copies and submit them to the appropriate authority.
The Ministry should provide:


Original of the valid passport. Photocopy of the passport.
Confirmation that the necessary monetary funds exist (confirmation of the availability of the necessary amount of money on the account with the Montenegro bank, proof of the availability of the required amount of money on the credit card, an extract from the savings account on the availability of the required amount of money, confirmation from the bank on the circulation of funds on the bank account), proof of income at the main job for the last 3 months, with a mandatory written application of the employer.
