Your Expat Community in Montenegro

Embark on Your Life as an Expat in Montenegro

One of the youngest independent nations in Europe, Montenegro nevertheless has a rich and storied history. A member state of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia for much of the 20th century, it finally declared independence from its union with the neighbor state of Serbia in 2006. In the subsequent decade, the country has seen considerable economic growth and social development. Many expats are drawn to investment opportunities in key industries such as tourism, energy and construction. Tourism is a particularly important element of Montenegro's economic success, with many expatriates taking advantage of favorable conditions in the country to set up or invest in local businesses that serve the thousands of holidaymakers who flock to Montenegro's stunning beach resorts every year. The overall picture of Montenegro is of a welcoming and enterprising nation that welcomes visitors with open arms, with beautiful scenery and a relaxed pace of life offering a wide variety of pleasures to settling expats.

Make Friends and Build Your Expat Network before You Arrive in Montenegro

InterNations is a unique community for expats who agree to abide by the guiding principles of trust, respect, and a welcoming attitude that make up the essential components of our platform. This, together with our “membership by approval only” model, means you can interact with your fellow expats in a safe and secure environment. So don't hesitate to pose any questions relevant to living in Montenegro that you might have! These might include practicalities such as taxation, property laws and public transport links to Serbia, Albania, Kosovo and Bosnia & Herzegovina, or planning social and hobby-based activities such as joining a walking group, taking a language course, or sampling some classic Balkan cuisine at one of Montenegro's many delicious restaurants. Social activities in Montenegro are further covered by our InterNations Groups which regularly organize get-togethers based on a range of interests. Don't forget that InterNations also runs regular, larger events, where you can mix with fellow expats in a friendly and informal environment.
