The sapphire-like magnificent beaches of Croatia, the rugged and steep peaks of Switzerland, the deep canyons of Colorado, and the elegant palaces of Venice—combine all of these with a pleasant Mediterranean climate, and they are all condensed into one small country: the Republic of Montenegro.
Montenegro Citizenship by Investment Program
In October 2018, the Government of Montenegro adopted the criteria for selecting persons who may acquire Montenegrin citizenship by admission on the basis of the implementation of an investment program of special importance for the economic and business interests of Montenegro, and determined the investment methods and procedures. The program aims to create new jobs in Montenegro and improve the standard of living for its citizens.
Montenegro Immigration Act
- According to the special decisions published in the Official Gazette of Montenegro 34/10, 40/16, and 62/18, Montenegro allows foreign applicants to acquire Montenegrin citizenship by making designated investments under the special investment program;
- The act will remain in effect for three years, providing investment citizenship to 2,000 foreign investors (effective period: 2019.1.1-2021.12.31);
- The Law on Montenegrin Citizenship, as most recently amended in 2016, stipulates that individuals who have made a special contribution to Montenegro in the fields of science, economy, culture, sports, etc., may be granted Montenegrin citizenship without renouncing their original nationality; that is, citizenship by investment allows for dual citizenship.
