This route is reported closed, paused or not currently available: The economic citizenship programme is reported to have ended on 31 December 2022 and is no longer accepting new applicants. We publish this page so the position is clear. Do not rely on older figures.

Overview

Montenegro ran a citizenship by investment programme that allowed a passport in return for a qualifying investment. Public reporting states the programme closed to new applicants at the end of 2022, after sustained pressure from the European Union over security and oversight concerns.

Because the route is reported closed, this page does not list investment figures as if they were available. Confirm the present position with the Government of Montenegro before relying on any third party claim that the programme is open.

Qualifying routes

With the citizenship programme reported closed, there is no current qualifying investment route to a Montenegrin passport. A separate residence by investment route based on property has been discussed in public reporting. Residence and citizenship are different statuses with different rules, so confirm what actually exists today with the official authority.

Timeline

Not applicable while the citizenship route is reported closed. If any successor programme is announced, its timeline would be set by the Government of Montenegro. Confirm directly with the official source.

Indicative costs

We do not publish figures for a route reported closed. If you see a current price advertised for Montenegro citizenship by investment, treat it with caution and verify against the official authority.

What it unlocks

This page exists to make the closed status clear. For people seeking a second citizenship, other countries run active programmes with their own rules, costs and risks, which should be assessed independently.

Common questions

Can I still get Montenegro citizenship by investment

Public reporting says the programme closed to new applicants at the end of 2022. Confirm the present position with the Government of Montenegro.

Is there a residence route instead

Public reporting describes a property based residence route. Residence is not citizenship. Verify what exists today and its conditions with the official authority.
