Montenegro issues a temporary residence permit for people who work electronically for a foreign company (or their own company registered abroad), valid for up to two years and extendable once for two more; after four years you must wait six months before reapplying. Applicants show proof of income around three times the national minimum wage — roughly EUR 1,800-2,400 a month in 2026 — plus accommodation, health insurance and a clean record, with decisions in about 40 days. Foreign income is tax-exempt, but the wider attraction program is currently slated to run only to the end of 2026, so check status before applying.
