Can I get residency in Montenegro by buying property?

Yes, property ownership can support an application for temporary residency in Montenegro. As of November 2025, a significant regulatory change requires that the property used as the basis for a temporary residence application must be valued at a minimum of two hundred thousand euros. This threshold replaced the previous, less defined requirements and applies to all foreign nationals seeking temporary residence through property ownership. Owning property does not automatically confer residency; it is one qualifying element alongside standard documentation including proof of financial means, health insurance and a background check. Property ownership does not lead directly to citizenship.
