Montenegro, a beautiful Balkan nation, is increasingly attracting foreign workers. But before packing your bags, understanding Montenegro’s work visa requirements is key.
Who Needs a Work Visa?
- Anyone except citizens of visa-exempt countries will need a work visa to work legally in Montenegro.
Main Requirements
Securing a Montenegrin work visa involves a few steps:
- Job Offer: Secure a job offer from a Montenegrin employer. This is crucial as they’ll initiate the work permit process.
- Work Permit: The employer applies for a work permit on your behalf. Approval allows you to apply for a temporary residence permit.
- Residence Permit: Submit the required documents, including the work permit, proof of health insurance, and a clean criminal background check.
Good News!
Montenegro recently simplified things:
- You no longer need to show separate proof of financial means. The job offer itself suffices (as long as the salary meets minimum wage).Resources for Help:
The Montenegrin Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the nearest Montenegrin embassy can provide more details and application forms.
Montenegro Awaits!
By following these steps and gathering the necessary documents, you’ll be well on your way to working and living in beautiful Montenegro.
