Montenegro combines a low, simple tax system with the euro, an EU accession path and residence rights tied directly to company ownership. For a foreign founder this means one procedure delivers both a European company and a legal base to live in.

A Montenegrin limited liability company (d.o.o.) is registered at the Central Registry of Business Entities (CRPS) in 5 to 7 business days once the founding documents are signed. We draft the founding act, book the notary, arrange certified translations and collect the registration decision, tax number and seal for you. The founder can sign in Podgorica or grant an apostilled power of attorney and stay at home.
For company formation in Montenegro you need a passport valid for at least six months, your highest diploma (primary school is sufficient by law), a criminal record certificate from your home country with an apostille, and certified Montenegrin translations of these documents. If the company is registered remotely, an apostilled power of attorney is added. We send you the exact list after the first call.
The founder is appointed executive director of the company and applies for a temporary residence and work permit on that basis. The application is filed with the Ministry of Interior together with proof of address, health insurance, a company status certificate and the translated documents. The card is usually issued 15 to 30 days after filing. Spouse and children apply through family reunification.
Running costs are predictable: monthly accounting, a registered office address and social contributions for the director. Corporate income tax is 9% on profit up to €100,000. Value added tax is 21%, with a reduced rate of 7% for selected goods and services. We give you a written monthly budget before you register so there are no surprises.
Straight answers to the questions founders ask us most often.
