Montenegro Citizenship by Investment Programme
Announced in 2018, Montenegro allows citizenship for foreign individuals who invest in a special investment programme of importance for the business and economic interests of the country. Such a programme contributes to the business development of Montenegro by funding less developed regions.
Governed by the Montenegrin Investment Agency, Montenegro’s Citizenship by Investment Programme requires only two forms of investment, namely, investment in property and a capital contribution to the Government. It is referred to as an economic citizenship.
Situated in Southeastern Europe, Montenegro enjoys both warm Mediterranean summers along the coast with spectacular beaches and cooler temperatures inland offering skiing and winter activities in its alpine regions. Montenegro’s official currency is the Euro and awaits inclusion in the European Union by 2025.
