Visa and Currency in Montenegro
Whether you need a visa depends on your nationality — many travellers can enter Montenegro visa-free and stay for up to 90 days. For a longer stay, you'll need to contact the Montenegrin consulate, pay a fee of €60 and apply for a national tourist visa. Check the rules for your own passport before you book.
The euro (EUR) is Montenegro's official currency. Businesses and individuals generally won't accept other currencies from tourists, so head to a bank to exchange your money for euros. It's worth carrying smaller notes, since sellers often can't break a €100 note.
