Montenegro closed its citizenship by investment programme on 31 December 2022. No new applications are accepted. This page sets out the status and the former cost structure so the position is clear.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
This route is closed. While it operated, citizenship required a qualifying investment in an approved development project plus a separate contribution to a state fund. Investment minimums differed by region, with a lower threshold for projects in the less developed north and a higher threshold for coastal areas and the capital.
Because the programme has ended, any figures from that period are historical and can no longer be used. We publish them only so the former structure is clear.
Under the closed programme, applicants also paid a government contribution to a state fund alongside the project investment, plus due diligence and processing fees. These applied per application and varied with family size.
Since no new applications are accepted, none of these charges are currently payable. Confirm the official position with the Government of Montenegro.
When the programme ran, applicants typically engaged independent professionals for due diligence support, documents and legal review, at fees separate from the government costs. We do not name or recommend firms.

There is no current budget to build for Montenegro citizenship by investment, because the route is closed. Treat older totals you may see online as historical only.
