Montenegro simplifies procedure for issuing residence permits
16.09.2014
Черногорские власти решили упростить процедуру получения иностранцами ВНЖ и приняли поправки к существующему закону об иностранцах.- Montenegro attracts not only numerous Russian tourists. A large number of Russians are investing money in the purchase of real estate in this Balkan country and seek to obtain a residence permit. Montenegrin authorities have decided to simplify the procedure for obtaining a residence permit and foreigners adopted amendments to the existing law on foreigners.
The new edition of this law regulates matters concerning the stay in Montenegro for foreigners. The law also spelled out the new rules of procedure for obtaining residence permission for foreigners with a property in the country. According to Minister of Internal Affairs of Montenegro Abid Crnovrshanin, amendments to the law should lead to an influx of foreign investment.
- Under the new law, buying Property in Montenegro gives the right to obtain a residence permit in the country for a period of 1 year. Before that the owners of real estate had no right to be in Montenegro for more than 90 days. They were forced to travel to any other country once every three months at any time, in order then to legally return to Montenegro.
In accordance with the new law, property owners can obtain a residence permit for a period of 1 year, with the right to renew its duration by preservation of the property. Amendments to the law will please those Russians who are going to engage in commercial or other business activities in this country. A residence permit includes the right to work in Montenegro. A card with biometric data is given to foreign residents who apply for residency, which allows working in the country.
It is expected that amendments to the law become effective in the autumn of 2014 or at the beginning of 2015. The legislation does not limit the value of property which gives the right for a residence permit. The right to determine the minimum value of the property has been transferred to the Ministry of Finance of Montenegro.
The adoption of these amendments will be good news for those of our compatriots who invest their funds in foreign real estate and purchasing in Montenegro.

Dear CMM team, just to leave a small feedback on the superjob you've done ! It was not an easy period for us with a child. As we had to sell our home property and decided alternatively buy some nice house at Montenegrin coast. We were truly frightened at the start.

Good luck and further success and propsperity to the company! Special thanks to Alexander and Snezana for professional approach!

Always thought that buying property abroad isnervous and difficult task. CMM changed my mindset. I felt support and care in every step: from the first call arranged till receiving the Owner's list. I am also happy about how they make my apartment management. Now, whenever me or my family members come home to Montenegro, I am absolutely confident that my apartment is in the best condition!

CMM is supergood in diplomatic dealing with all sides. I found the apartment I wanted in Montenegro, though the previous owner was behaving awfully and didn't want to bargain. Your managers somehow managed to agree the acceptable price so that we could start with deal. Professional advice on every step helped me avoid numerous mistakes possible. You have all that a naughty customer needs! Also thanks for the wonderful natures shown and nice coffeeshops/dineries =) Now recommending CMM Group to those planning to move or long vacations in Montenegro. Great management and attitude!
