Visa requirements for Russian citizens planning to stay in Montenegro beyond the visa-free period are subject to change. Currently, information suggests that visas might be obtainable through visa centers like Global Visa.

For Digital Nomad visas (or similar residency permits - 'boravak') in Montenegro, absence from the country is monitored. The law allows for 30 days of absence during the validity period of the permit without special permission. With permission from the inspector, this can be extended up to 90 days. These limits are cumulative over the entire permit duration, not per year. For Permanent Residency (PMJ) applications, absence rules are tied to years, not the permit duration itself. Travelers should keep records of their entries and exits, especially when crossing land borders.

For Kazakhstan citizens seeking a work permit (boravak) in Montenegro, clarify visa requirements. Currently, visa-free entry is valid until October 1st. Determine if a specific work visa is needed in addition to standard documentation.
