BASES FOR OBTAINING A RESIDENCE.
The most common reasons that are used when moving to Montenegro are employment (to your company as a director), purchase of real estate, training in a local university, family reunification.
I will describe the most common way of obtaining a residence permit - for labor. It can be divided into 2 stages:
1. STAGE - the basis and registration of a legal entity (in simple words - the opening of the company). To open a company you need: a decision on the establishment of the company, a statute and a copy of the passport. Registration of the company takes place in the capital of Montenegro - Podgorica, in the opposite directions (so-called administrative-territorial units in Montenegro, such as our region) there are no representative offices of the registration service. To submit documents for registration, you must provide 2 certified copies of the passport, a certified copy of the decision on the establishment of the company and the statute. You can confirm these copies at the local court or at the notary, the cost of the certification is about 15 euros. Another document must be obtained from the Central Depository of the country, which is located next to the registration service, issued within 15 minutes, the official fee = 5 euros. These documents must be placed under the completed application for registration of the company. Also need to pay state. fees -10 euros for registration and 12 euros for publication of information on registration in the local official media - Service sheet. Receipts for payment should also be put under the application. Well, the cost of a trip to Podgorica, about 40 euros. The application is considered no more than 7 days if all documents are prepared qualitatively. After receiving the decision to register, you need to make a stamp = 20-40 euros (depending on the press). In the future, it will be necessary to open an account with the bank and put the authorized capital of the company from 1 euro (this can be done by yourself or instructed by a future accountant). For the legal address of the company you can use the address of the rented apartment or the address of the office of the future accountant.
2. STAGE - registration of residence permit. List of required documents:
1. Written request of the employer for the employment of a foreign worker (letter from his firm with a stamp and signature in the Montenegrin language).
2. The document on education (school certificate or diploma with attachments, translated into Montenegrin and nostrified in the Ministry of Education of Montenegro, or a certificate of acceptance of such a document for nostrification).
3. A copy of the passport with a copy of the page where the stamp of entry to Montenegro is stamped.
4. Proof of the availability of a place to live (lease of housing, document of ownership, etc.).
5. Proof of existence of funds for the existence, at the rate of 10 euros a day (you need to open an account with a local bank, put 3650 euros on it and take an account statement, you do not need to keep money on the account permanently and you can withdraw them the next day).
6. Medical insurance for at least 30 days (taken only from the local insurance).
7. Health certificate (reference is taken to the local hospital)
8. Certificate of non-conviction (with translation into Montenegrin language).
9. Decision on the registration of the company.
10. Receipt for the payment of fees for consideration of the request.
For expenses and procedures, a transfer from a local forensic translator, for example, a certificate with attachments and a certificate of non-conviction, will cost € 45, the fee for submitting documents for nostrification to the Ministry of Education of Montenegro, a school certificate = 50 euros, a diploma of higher education = 150 euros, when submitting a document for nostrification, issue a certificate of acceptance of the document, and with this certificate you can apply for residence permit, without waiting for the results of consideration. Medical insurance for 30 days = 26-30 euros. Help from the local hospital = 35 euros. The fee for consideration of the application for obtaining a residence permit is 65 euros.
All the above-mentioned package of documents is submitted to the local police department, and the hands are given confirmation of their admission. With a confirmation of the receipt of documents, you can legally be on the territory of the country. The period of consideration is 20 days. The residence permit is issued for a period of one year with the possibility of its further extension. After obtaining the residence permit you need to conclude a labor contract, open an account with the bank for the company and put on it 1 euro of registered capital, register with the tax (these issues should be better assigned to the accountant).
Now to the question of MONTHLY EXPENDITURES. If the director arranges to his company for part-time work, the minimum possible by law for 1/4 rates or 2 hours a day, then compulsory costs (official taxes and fees) will be 35 euros / month. For comparison, I will give an example of costs, if you do not apply for a residence permit, and once in 30 days you leave and call in Montenegro (also a very popular option in Montenegro, but only for Russian citizens) - every new arrival needs to pay a tour for a new 30 days stay this can be avoided if there is a certified long-term lease of housing), and this is how I wrote earlier 0.70 - 1 euro / day or 21-30 euros / month + gasoline or carrier services. Maybe it's more profitable if a person moves to Montenegro alone, but usually not one. Also for the calculation and transfer of taxes, fees, reporting requires an accountant, the accountant's services will cost from 50 euros / month (depending on the accountant).
Briefly about the registration of residence permit for family reunification, if one considers that one of the spouses already has a residence permit based on employment. The procedure is similar, but there is no need to provide documents from clauses 1, 2, 7, 9 of the List of Documents. But additional documents will be required, for example, a marriage certificate with a translation into the Montenegrin language and a copy of the residence permit of the spouse and / or a personal presence. Monthly expenses - no.
