Travel Authorisation Montenegro

Description

Swiss citizens can travel to Montenegro without needing a visa for short stays. Under Montenegro’s visa exemption policy, Swiss passport holders are permitted to enter the country for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. This makes Montenegro a straightforward and attractive destination for tourism, family visits, and short business trips.

Our Travel Authorisation Montenegro service provides Swiss travelers with guidance on entry requirements, health precautions, and customs rules to ensure a smooth journey.

Visa process and timing:
No visa application is required in advance. Swiss citizens simply present their valid passport at Montenegro’s international airports, land borders, or seaports. Immigration authorities stamp the passport and grant entry for up to 90 days. For longer stays, a temporary residence permit or national visa must be obtained from Montenegrin authorities before or during the trip.

Entry requirements for Swiss citizens include:

• A Swiss passport valid for at least 3 months beyond the intended stay

• Return or onward travel ticket

• Proof of accommodation (hotel reservation or host invitation)

• Sufficient funds to support the stay

Health and insurance requirements:
There are no mandatory vaccination requirements for Swiss citizens entering Montenegro. Routine vaccinations should be up to date, and vaccines for hepatitis A and B, as well as tick-borne encephalitis (for rural or hiking areas), are recommended. Comprehensive travel insurance is strongly advised, as healthcare costs for foreigners are payable upfront, and private medical facilities may be expensive.

Customs and border rules:
Travelers may bring in personal effects duty-free within defined limits. Import of weapons, narcotics, and certain agricultural products is strictly prohibited. Cash amounts exceeding €10,000 must be declared. Items of cultural or historical value may require export permits when leaving the country.

Stay limits and extensions:
Swiss citizens are permitted to stay up to 90 days in a 180-day period without a visa. For longer stays, travelers must apply for a temporary residence permit, typically tied to work, study, or family reunification. Overstaying the visa-free period can result in fines or entry bans.

Montenegro offers Swiss travelers dramatic Adriatic coastlines, UNESCO-listed towns like Kotor, and mountainous national parks perfect for outdoor activities. With our Travel Authorisation Montenegro service, Swiss visitors receive clear instructions on entry, health, and customs rules for a worry-free trip.
