Real Estate
One spouse registered on common property is deemed by Montenegrin law to be both — unless a written contract between the spouses says otherwise.
Tax
A Montenegrin residence permit and Montenegrin tax residence come from two different statutes, and they can move in opposite directions.
Investment
The line between private use and charter is not a label. It changes who is liable, what must be aboard, and who may legally be on the yacht at all.
Real Estate
A Montenegrin berth is a use right inside someone else's concession. It cannot outlive the marina's own term, and nothing is refunded when it ends.
Residency
British citizens enter Montenegro visa-free for 90 days in 180 — counted from first entry. What the passport gets you, and what owning a flat does not.
Litigation & Dispute Resolution
How limitation works under Montenegro's Law on Obligations: the periods, what interrupts and suspends them, and the deadlines that are not limitation.
Litigation & Dispute Resolution
Who pays after a road accident in Montenegro, the 60- and 90-day deadlines, the minimum sums actually in force, and the EU rules that do not yet apply.
Tax
Two states, two filings, one flat. What Montenegro requires from a non-resident landlord, what the UK expects, and what the 1981 treaty does not do.
Real Estate
Yes, mostly. But four gates decide whether one specific property can be sold to you at all: category, coast, building legality and registration.
Litigation & Dispute Resolution
Non-pecuniary damages under Montenegro's Law on Obligations: the protected rights, what a court can order besides money, and whether a company can claim.
Litigation & Dispute Resolution
Damages under Montenegro's Law on Obligations: who has to prove fault, what counts as loss, how it is valued, and the three- and five-year deadlines.
Residency
Montenegro has no golden visa programme in force. What exists is a one-year residence permit with a 30-day absence rule, and a bill that would add a EUR 250,000 investment route for EU citizens only.
