Let's reveal all the details of the properties you can buy under the Montenegro Citizenship by Investment Program in 2020!

To find the Montenegro citizenship by investment program's official website, it's worth to note, that Discus Holdings Ltd is one of the only 3 official agents of the scheme.

Before Covid-19, Montenegro was one of the fastest-growing tourist destinations in Europe.

"2.6 million tourists visited Montenegro in 2019, we recorded 14.5 million overnight stays, and our foreign and domestic guests' revenue will amount to EUR 1.1 billion. Which gives us the right to say that this is the best tourist year in the history of Montenegro," said Prime Minister Duško Marković. 

Don't forget to compare the 2,6 million tourists with the local population of 622,000. In summary, it worth to invest in the tourism sector of Montenegro.

As the Cypriot government suspended it's EU passport scheme, the investors' eyes are on the Montenegrin citizenship solution. Montenegro is the single country with a citizenship program, which aims to join the EU soon (in 2025). It means that its travel document will allow not only to move freely in the Schengen zone. As Montenegrins already have the visa-free Schengen entrance. Moreover, as EU citizens, they will have the right to settle in any other EU member State as well.

Montenegro citizenship by investment fees

Note that the options of the property investment's cover different locations in Montenegro, with additional advantages. Under both options, you must contribute 100,000 euros. Then you can decide to chose the more affordable investment of 250,000 euros into government-approved real estate developments in the northern part of the country (mountains). Or you can opt for the investment of 450,000 euros into government-approved real-estate developments in the southern part of Montenegro (coast) or the capital city of Podgorica. You can read here all the detailed information on the naturalisation process of Montenegro! 

Before we introduce the qualifying investments locations, let's take a closer look at the destinations of the Montenegro citizenship by investment program in 2020. The lower amount of investment supports projects in the northern, mountainside of the country. Even the country's name means the "Black Hills" (Montenegro or Crna Gora). At the territory of almost 14,000 km2, the mountains cover around 80 per cent of Montenegro. And it's a well-known tourism destination for ski loving Europeans, and the long winter sports season extends through till March or even April!

Through the more expensive option, you can invest at the coast of the Adriatic Sea. Montenegro can be proud of its 294 km long coastline. The shore attracts visitors with one of the most beautiful and unique bays in the world, the Bay of Kotor, an enchanting Mediterranean town with several hundred years of history. We have to mention Budva, the metropolis of international tourism; the old Montenegrin royal capital Cetinje; and Lovcen Mountain, the guardian of local tradition, heritage and pride. Montenegro enjoys 240 sunny days per year and out of that 180 are warm enough to swim in the crystal clear Adriatic sea. As the cost of the holidays increased significantly in Croatia and Slovenia, Montenegro became the new favourite for not only the overseas tourists. Those charming beaches are welcoming the tourists from the next landlocked countries of Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Austria and Switzerland, as they can reach the shores even by car.
