About the Montenegro Passport
Montenegro holds rank 24, a mid-table result. Its citizens travel visa-free to 82 countries, and total mobility comes to 153 destinations once eTAs, visas on arrival, and e-Visas are counted. Europe is clearly the strongest region with 42 visa-free destinations, and Asia follows at 15. Oceania is the weakest, with a single country, so the Pacific is the region that needs the most preparation.
Among the key destinations, France and the Schengen area, the United Arab Emirates, China, Singapore, and Brazil are visa-free. Australia offers an e-Visa. The United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Japan all require a visa in advance, which affects many popular long-haul routes. Holders who want to remove those requirements could consider a second citizenship such as Malta Citizenship by Merit, which could add up to 26 destinations.
