Registration of foreigners in Montenegro

Everything changes, and even traditionally hospitable Montenegro periodically makes adjustments to the realities of recreation. However, it is essential that registration of foreigners in Montenegro today does not differ from the procedures of previous years. There are certain rules that should not be ignored, so as not to create problems for yourself and the owner of housing (regardless of whether you rent a property in Montenegro in the private sector or live in a hotel or hotel).

It is necessary to focus on Article 91 of the new Montenegrin law on foreigners, adopted in the spring of 2015.

So, the registration of foreigners in Montenegro:

- within 24 hours from the date of arrival, you must find a police station or an information point and register with the address of your residence. If you get on the day off, then you need to go to the police on the first working day.

- if your landlord has the official status of a provider of real estate rental services in Montenegro, he is obliged to file information about his guests. You can do it yourself, just keep in mind that the penalty for violation will not be imputed to you, but to the owner of the hotel, apartment or apartment.

- if you are not connected with the supplier, then the application can be submitted through the Tourism Organization of Montenegro, according to Article 95 of the Aliens Act.

- Registration of foreigners in Montenegro involves entering information into the electronic register.

- Tourist tax is about EUR per day, in different regions the figures can be different. Children under 12 years of age are not subject to this duty.

There are also other exceptions:

- Patients of clinics and rehabilitation centers;

- employees of Montenegrin companies on a temporary basis, having a tourist registration at the place of stay;

- students and pupils of educational institutions, including those who visited the country in the framework of group excursions;

- participants of festivals;

- participants in sports competitions;

- property owners and their family members;

- adolescents under 18 years are subject to a duty of 50%

If you forget to register, when you leave Montenegro at any border point you can check through the central electronic system. Registration of foreigners in Montenegro is compulsory, and if this rule is violated, there is a risk of either receiving a fine (about 200 euros), or receiving a fine and being detained until clarification.

Quite often, tourists who rent private property in Montenegro, simply ignore this rule, because with most of them no trouble happens, but now the rules have become stricter and checks more. Be careful not to spoil your holiday in Montenegro.
