Low taxes
Corporate and income tax start at 9% — among Europe's most competitive. Running and living costs are notably low.

Montenegro is an EU-candidate country using the euro. Stable law and full freedom for foreigners to own companies and property.
Fast, simple setup
Company formation completes in about 15 days once documents are ready; minimum capital is just €1. No extra barriers for foreign owners, and it can be done remotely by power of attorney.
Residence & lifestyle
Residence for your whole family through the company; a safe, calm and affordable life on the Adriatic coast.
Our Services
Company Formation (D.O.O.)
We handle every step of setting up a limited company (d.o.o.) in Montenegro: checking and registering an available name, defining activity codes, drafting and notarizing the articles of association, registration with the Central Registry (CRPS), obtaining the tax ID (PIB) and VAT number if needed, and opening a corporate bank account. Once documents are ready the process usually completes in about 15 days, and the minimum capital is only €1. We recommend the structure that fits you best — single or multiple shareholders, foreign ownership, your line of business — and can handle everything by notarized power of attorney without you travelling to Montenegro.
Residence Permit (Boravak)
We manage your temporary residence permit (boravak) application from start to finish, based on company ownership or a work permit: gathering the documents (health insurance, proof of accommodation, criminal record, bank confirmation and address registration), sworn translations and notary steps, filing and follow-up with the authorities. Once documents are ready the application is usually decided in about 15 days, and the permit is typically granted for one year. Renewed annually, it leads to permanent residence (stalni boravak) after five years and, in time, a path toward citizenship; we prepare all prerequisites for you in advance.
Accounting & Tax
Through our partner accounting offices we handle all your financial obligations: monthly VAT and income filings, payroll and social-security contributions, the annual corporate tax return and your official books. From your first invoice we set up e-invoicing and record-keeping and manage salary and contribution calculations. Within Montenegro's low tax rates (corporate and income tax from 9%) we plan the most efficient legal structure and track every deadline on your behalf so you never face penalties.
Banking & Official Procedures
We accompany you when opening corporate and personal bank accounts and for notary certifications, apostilles and sworn translations, and can represent you by power of attorney when needed. We prepare the documents the bank requires in advance, attend the account-opening appointment with you and follow up until the account is active. We coordinate all correspondence and appointments with official bodies (municipality, tax office, registry) — so you don't struggle with language or bureaucracy.
Family Reunification
Based on your company or residence permit, we prepare and follow up residence applications for your spouse and children under family reunification. Family members' permits are usually aligned to the same timeline as yours, so the whole family's paperwork moves together. We also assist with school/kindergarten enrolment, family health insurance and obtaining the required documents (birth and marriage certificates, apostille, translation).
Annual Renewals
We keep the annual renewal calendar for your residence permit, company registration and financial obligations. As each renewal approaches we notify you in advance, prepare the paperwork and file on time. We also tie your company's annual financial report and official filings to the same calendar, managing everything without a missed obligation — no lapses, penalties or loss of status.
