Pakistan passport holders cannot get a visa at the border or online. You must apply at a Montenegrin embassy or consulate before traveling. Plan ahead — processing takes 1–3 weeks.
Nearest embassy may be in India
Montenegro has no embassy in Pakistan. The closest embassy is in New Delhi, India. Contact them directly to confirm if they accept applications from Pakistani residents, or if you need to apply through a different process.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for a visa at the embassy
Contact the Montenegrin embassy or consulate in your country (e.g., Islamabad or New Delhi if you're in Pakistan). Book an appointment, submit the application form, passport, photos, flight itinerary, hotel booking, bank statements, and travel insurance. Pay the visa fee (around €35–€60 depending on type). Processing takes 7–15 working days.
2
Collect your visa and check details
Once approved, collect your passport with the visa sticker. Check the validity dates, number of entries, and duration of stay. If anything is wrong, ask the embassy to correct it before you travel.
3
Arrive at a Montenegrin port of entry
You'll enter through Podgorica Airport, Tivat Airport, or a land border from Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, or Kosovo. At immigration, present your passport with the visa, and be ready to show your return ticket and accommodation booking. The officer may ask your purpose of visit and how long you're staying.
4
Receive your entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with the date of entry and the allowed stay duration (usually matching your visa). Keep the stamp safe — you'll need it when leaving.
